BEAUFORT, N.C. (AP) -- You can get fries with your burger at a restaurant here,

but just don't ask for french fries.

Neal Rowland, the owner of Cubbie's, now only sells his fried potato strips as

" freedom fries " -- a decision that comes as Americans watch French officials

back away from support for possible war in Iraq.

 

" Because of Cubbie's support for our troops, we no longer serve french fries. We

now serve freedom fries, " says a sign in the restaurant's window.

 

Rowland said his intent is not to slight the French people, but to take a

patriotic stance to show his support for the United States and the actions of

President Bush.

 

" It's our way of showing our patriotic pride, " he said, noting that his business

has a lot of local military troops as customers.

 

Rowland said the switch from french fries to freedom fries came to mind after a

conversation about World War I when anti-German sentiment prompted Americans to

rename German foods like sauerkraut and frankfurter to liberty cabbage and hot

dog

I should think the French would be pleased to not have them associated with

France. After all, they are hardly gourmet.
