Freedom Fries

Freedom Fries was a term used for French fries to reflect the anti-French sentiment in the United States after France's decision not to send troops to participate in the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The phrase was reportedly first used on a menu in a restaurant in North Carolina, but gained national prominence on March 11, 2003, when Republican Congressman Robert Ney used his position as chairman of the Committee on House Administration to have all the menus in the U.S. House of Representatives change the name to Freedom Fries. Although Congress reverted back to French Fries in July 2006, some restaurants in the United States still use the term.
