Just curious.
Funnily enough- They just call them "Frites". But after many years of working and travelling to France- I have found the French are being influenced by more "Civilised" cultures. The chips are getting fatter- Probably to cope with the Heavier influence of the Obese brits and and krauts teaching them a thing about food. In the Mall where we were shopping- there were the good French Restaurants but a lot more eating places around too serving Snacks- And there was a McD's there aswell but this was mainly empty- Till a Ferry arrived and filled it up with the Brits.
