From what I know it's because most Americans don't like the French. So instead of calling them "French fries" (although French fries were not invented in France) we called them Freedom fries. The name was changed as part of an idiotic propaganda campaign.

Fries were always called French fries in America. until George Bush decided that it was necessary to attack Iraq. He attempted to enlist the aid of the United nations in this adventure. The French did not want the UN to be involved in a war of aggression and voted against the proposal. American interests were so annoyed by this that they changed the name of French Fries to freedom fries in protest. So besides not becoming involved in a pointless war the French also got a good laugh out of it.

Are french fries French?

They are called french fries because of the way they are cut and the way they are cooked. In cooking, a long thin cut is called a french cut, and then of course they are fried, so you get french fries. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they were once called french cut fried potatoes and it just got shortened along the way.

What is the weight of a mouthful of fries?

The weight of a mouthful of fries can vary depending on the size of the fries and the individual's mouth capacity, but it typically ranges from about 20 to 30 grams. A standard serving of fries contains approximately 150-200 grams, so a mouthful would be a small fraction of that. Ultimately, the exact weight will depend on how many fries one can fit in their mouth at once.
