French fries off US menu A fast food restaurant in America says it has received huge support after renaming its French fries, in protest at France's opposition to the United States' stance on Iraq. Neal Rowland, the owner of Cubbie's diner in Beaufort, North Carolina, said his newly-named 'freedom fries' have been a hit with customers. "Everybody's been in support of it," he told BBC News Online. "World War II veterans have been coming in, telling stories of when they were in France. They're overwhelmed about it, they can't believe it." A sign in the restaurant's window reads: "Because of Cubbie's support for our troops, we no longer serve French fries. We now serve freedom fries." |
