The truly fancy places call ‘em “frites”, not French fries. That way they can charge an extra three bucks for the fanciness.

And the menu doesn't show the price like:

Cheeseburger £13

Instead you get:

Cheeseburger 13

So cool and minimalist.

Reminds me of that one joke from What Men Think About.

"In our restaurant, dry bread is called a crouton. It is still the same piece of slightly fried bread, but dry bread cannot cost 8 dollars, whereas a crouton can."
