We name foods after the french, "french" toast, french "fries." Why do we continue this, and wonder why the french do not like us?

We name foods after the french because...that's where the idea for those foods came from.  It's not actually naming the food after the French people.\n\nDon't worry though, the French don't actually like anybody, especially French-Canadians.

Only if you're reading reading this joke: \n\nAn American is having breakfast at the table (the usual - bread, jam, butter) when a French guy comes over chewing some gum. He plops down into the seat opposite the American and asks: "Hey, do you Americans eat the whole bread?" \n\nThe American replies, "Yeah. Why?" \n\nThe Frenchie snorts and then says: "Well, we French eat only the soft parts of the bread inside, and then we take the crusts crush it down and make it into croissants to be sold to the US." \n\nThe American says nothing and continues eating. Then the Frenchie looking at the American use some jam, says to him: "Hey, do you Americans eat jelly?" \n\nThe American replies: "Yes. Why?" \n\nThe Frenchie then says: "Well, at France - we only eat fruit for breakfast, and then we take all the leftovers, seeds and skins and process it to make into jam so we can sell it to the US." \n\nThe American says nothing, but after thinking for a while asks: "Hey, do you have sex here in France?" \n\nThe Frenchie replies: "Yes." \n\nThe American smiles and then continues: "Do you use condoms?" \n\nThe Frenchie says, "Yes." \n\n"And what do you do with those condoms?" the American asks. \n\n"Why, we throw them away of course." \n\nThe American smiles widely and then says: "Well, we don't throw our condoms away in the US. We boil it down and process it to make into chewing gum so we can sell it to the French."

I think it is very impolite to add extra's when the dessert has already been served.\nThat's like putting ketchup on your steak.\nAnd that's coming from a man.\nEven if he's called Dr. Bob.

Well, our culture is most derivative of Britain's.  We adopted their common law wholesale, for example, and their language.  We weren't a Commonwealth country, but that is sort of just the way it worked out.  We have ties, for certain.\n\nGreat Britain and France are allies now, but historically they were enemies and rivals for a long LONG time.  I don't know if we just inherited that mantle as well, or if the abrasion between the French (or Parisians) and us is born of other things.  Clearly the French are highly offended by McDonalds in France, and growth of the use of the English language, however I think most of us just find that amusing.\n\nI think we don't consider them as true to their obligations as an ally as we consider Great Britain to be, and we reciprocate.  However, again, while the British don't all like us either, we have a lot in common in how we look at the world.  This probably makes our relationship easier on many levels.  \n\nHowever, I think Germany would be a closer ally as well, if it weren't now most focused on integrating into the EU.

LOL omg I am gonna keep looking for your questions.  The reason we bring home left overs and never eat them is because they become unattractive.  They use the lighting in the resturaunt to entice you to take them home.  Once you get there its like..."there's a mix up..they gave me the wrong food or something...this is not an attractive shrimp."

Those of us that are a little older can probably remember French being the romance language. That was because up until the US entered World War 2, French was the international language. In fact the French were very grateful to the U.S. They gave us the statue of liberty as a gesture of their gratitude. So that is a value.\n\nMany Americans were angry when the French refused to join the battle in Iraq. They said they placed more value on human life than we did. So there is another value.\n\nI see the remark regarding bathing. This is on the true side, however, the French did invent the bidet, so they do believe in keeping the important things clean. That is a value, of sorts.\n\nIf you were to go to Canada, The entire country has all road signs printed in English and French, except for the French Canadian Provinces where it is French only. They would appear to be a bit paranoid about losing their language. I guess that is a value.

no you have some run ons and lack of semi colons\nhere it is revised or my paraphrasing of yours: \n\n\nI have met some new schoolmates, only a few among them who I call "true friends". These few respect themselves and have respect for others. \n\nA classic French girl and another mixed girl are always encircled by two same guys; they are all between the best of my level.\n\nThe only thing I know about the French girl is her name and that her sister and all her family will move to Alberta (a province of western Canada) this summer. Another one is a mixed blood of France,Ukraine, Netherlands (Holand), and Ireland. She has a look of Jessica Alba. \n\nhope that helps!

Not that Germans are all bad, But I have one stay with my family for 2 weeks, and my husband, boyfriend at the time... had to threaten him because he kept asking me crude questions.  When I knocked on the bedroom door to see if he was hungry he would answer in his underwear.  completely inconsiderate.  im glad it was only for 2 weeks

i'm not a super big fry fan, but one thing i have tried and enjoyed them with is gravy. i guess this shouldn't be a huge surprise, because when you get right down to it, they ARE just potatoes, in a corrupted form.\n\ni'll also use ranch, mustard, vinegar, or tsatsiki cucumber dip.  i'm very anti-ketchup on all but steak fries!

Salut,\n\n Hope you find this interesting:\n\n"In Louisiana when we jouer à la pelote, it is typically a game of baseball, football or soccer that we are referring to.  Careful, though, because for our French-speaking Canadian neighbors, la pelote refers to female genitalia.\n\n\nCajuns try not to be shocked if newly arrived Canadians remark upon all the grosses bibittes in South Louisiana.  They mean the roaches and other insects.  They're not being lewd; they simply haven't yet learned that bibitte in Louisiana French refers to male genitalia."

No one really knows why they were called french fries in the first place, since they were invented in America.  It is very obvious we had them longer than the french, just walk down a city street in america and try to find a girl to pick up, then do the same thing in france!  I will bet you anything the french girl will get picked up first, mainly because her legs won't make noise from rubbing together when she walks.  And as far as hypocrites go, look who leads our country!  He has a campaign against drugs, yet did cocaine, and he is pondering starting a draft, when he himself went awol during the Nam.  now that i have said that, i realize how sad we are, i think i'm goign to move!  how hard is it to get a visa in France?

sorry i don't think that french people have a cute accent while speaking french, most of the time i was annoyed that they speak such a bad English and if there's also the accent it just drives me crazy. i must say i started admiring french people who can actually talk good English and in my life i only met one person

Probably because the Brits are bad cooks.
