Welcome Back, 1917

In a reprise of one of the less savory parts of our national history, looks like the practice of renaming food because we're p-o'd at a country is spreading. Not too surprised Congress started up with this one. They even got my girl's favorite breakfast food this time! "Freedom" toast just doesn't sound right to me.

Look, I'm as pissed off at France as the rest of you, but the naming thing is just dumb. We could call them "booger fries" for all the French would notice. Far better is to boycott everything and anything carrying "made in France" on it, and contacting the importers of said products notifying them of this fact. That'll hit them in the pocketbook, and it will get noticed.

Me, I buy Italian wines. They're better, cheaper, and, as far as I know, don't ever contain anything other than grape juice and yeast.

this is asinine... first of all, most of the foods called "French" whatever would NEVER be served in France and secondly, do they get money from them??? I think not... so what purpose does renaming French Toast serve????
