1) For "French fries":
They're not particularly French. I think McDonald's just calls them
"fries" without any additional adjective. Just call them "fries",
unless they're the superior "steak fries", and call those *that*, and
BTW, let me know where I can get "steak fries". :)
2) For "French toast":
Someone on another mailing list told me that prior to one of the World
Wars, it had been called "German toast". I have done no research to
verify; does anyone here know? And I think my response was, "Why don't
we just call it 'European toast'?"
French vanilla ice cream, you can have, I'll take Homemade vanilla. :)
