First of all, I had to say that semi-phonetic French out loud so that I could understand it… then your comment under the comic made me think about how I like my fries/chips – which made me all hungry at nearly 4am!
(Answer: It varies… French fries have got to be crispy, preferably with mayonnaise; chip-shop chips have got to be soggy, with salt and lots of vinegar [as a friend said: if you don’t cough when you put your head over them, there’s not enough vinegar], and if there’s bread, jumbo sausage and mushy peas to go with the chips, so much the better. And my mum’s chips are always good, no matter how they turn out :D)
Actually, Flo, I’m not sure it was that much of a fail, really… still looked decent 🙂
As for the salt… I used to love grabbing hold of the salt shakers at UK chip shops… they have about 30 or so holes in them, so there was a heart attack plunging its way towards your chips… and I loved it 😀
My zhwah like with curly fries, eating them is like an adventure :).
And friends, whatever you may do with your fries, never EVER pour three packets of salt on already salted fries and eat them to prove to your big brother you can. That will never end well, and he’ll still laugh at you.
So we’ve gotten past calling them “freedom fries”, LOL? We had so much fun with that. There was “freedom kissing”, “freedom dressing”, “freedom toast”, etc. Although I understand that in France, American cheese is called “idiot cheese”…
Fries are one of those things folks is particular about (especially this crowd!)… You know, curly fries do rock, Meggie! I have tried the vinegar but am not as excited by it as I am with just plain old ketchup…
McDuff got it… Partage is sharing… joie is joy sounded zhwah. I love the zhwah…. and it will be used again!
Bridgett Spicer, you have much to answer for 😛

La joie est dans la partage, I think? (Solution for soggy fries: add cheese curds and gravy. :9)
La joie de frites est dans la poutine? 😉
Oooo… VINEGAR. What a wonderful, sadly misunderstood condiment are ye!
I’m with you, Brig… crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside… mmmmm…
Rats! Now I’m like Astragali…. now I need fries!
I ate out Tuesday – had “Skin-on Steak Fries” as a side. Thin skin, no pre-applied condiments, served in a separate plate the same size as the entrée.
ooh, I like both. I always eat all my fries (unless I’m full) so I don’t leave any behind simply because they’re not my type.
but I like then with salt. lots of salt 😀 it’s like a delicious heart attack waiting to happen. and sometimes ketchup. but mostly salt *drools*
dang it! now I need fries!
oops. format fail on my part.

Lies not like, sheesh, that sounds like a drunken valley girl.
Oh! Oh! Curly fries! I totally forgot about them! *dribble*
