Last week, CNN reported that a North Carolina restaurant owner had renamed his French fries “Freedom Fries”. A change of menu wouldn’t normally catch the attention of a major media corporation, but in this case it was in response to the French opposition to a war in Iraq. Reporters were all over it in seconds. I suppose if CNN says it’s a patriotic act, then I guess I’ll have to believe it.
I would like to urge all Canadians to adopt the following changes to menus:
- Change California roll sushi to Canuck Roll
- Change Philly cheese steak to Sudbury Sandwich
- Change Texas toast to Maple Leaf Toast
- Change KFC to KFC (Kelowna Fried Chicken)
- Change New England clam chowder to Chowder, Eh?
- Change Boston clam chowder to Red Chowder, Eh?
- And finally, beer should be called Liquid Canada.
That last one doesn’t have to change, but we really like our beer in Canada.
That’ll show those unpatriotic people in the White House that we mean business.
