Dollar fries

[bobepine]

Hi all,

I'm still working on this menu, and I've stumbled upon "dollar fries."

Now, they obviously don't refer to the dollar menu of fast food places, so what are they? A different cut? Homestyle? Something else entirely?

Any help would be much appreciated.

"Every day! The Dollar Menu features some of your favorite-tasting McDonald's foods for only a dollar ... every day." (McDonald's site.)

Dollar fries = frites à 1 $

I think they do refer to the dollar menus.

In the shape of a dollar symbol? Fried dollar bills?

Hi Gutenberg,

Unfortunately, right in the middle of the table d'hôte of a reasonably upscale restaurant, I find it difficult to believe they would toss in McDonald's French fries. If I find out what the difference is, I will pass it along.

They don't have to be McDonald's French fries, just French fries for a dollar.

pommes de terre coupées en rondelles et frites (qui ressemblent à des pièces de 1 dollar)

PS In Canada wouldn't you call those loony fries?!

So, what shall we call them if they ever get imported in France, in case of a clash? Euro fries?

Et en français ? Les frites loonie (?)

"La pièce la plus commune, et la plus connue, est le "loonie", la pièce de 1 dollar. Elle tient son nom de l'oiseau représenté sur une des 2 faces, un grand plongeur du Nord (Gavia immer de son nom scientifique), et plus communément appelé "common loon"."
