The French are probably confused about french fries too. Speaking of fries, what are they called up there.

good one. but I think the term 'frenched' is a general cooking term to refer to anything that is cut in a long strips, but wider than julienne cut. (speaking as a kitchen-whore...as in frenched rack of lamb..) so frenchfries, are fries cut long and slender, versus wide and flat (nothing to do with France). imho.
at any rate, we call them fries, or french-fries. If they are served with fish, then it's fish'n'chips. But generally chips refer to potato chips ala Lays or Humpty Dumpty or Hostess.
In Quebec, I assume that fries are called frites or fries.
