See? We aren’t the only ones who change the names of foods when we get all pissy. So do the Iranians!
That’s not helping our case any, is it? 
This demonstrates the three word scientific theory that fully explains the entirety of all human history:
Humans are idiots.
It’s a definite big step up from burning down the Danish consulate, so I’m all for it.
And if the Danish want to retaliate, they could rename Persian cats as “long haired cats from somewhere in Asia”.
Or just call them all “fugly” 
I always thought that “freedom fries” thing was a bunch of media hype considering that I never saw one restaurant that had them on the menu.
In that spirit, I checked to see if Danishes are even called that in Iran. They are (of course it’s pronounced more like Dahnmarkee, but it’s the same thing). Don’t know how widespread this “roses” thing is though. It’s quite a mouthfull to say.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we have a winnah!
Love your location, BTW.
Er… thanks. What do I win?
Unfortunately my location is fictional. All my attempts to blackmail the local government authorities to create such a village and county have failed. Time to wheel out my doomsday device, the BondVillainizer-2000.
Damn straight.
I’m waiting with bated breath for the first “image of Mohammed seen on pastry” story.
A proud, proud addition to the list of stupid re-namings of foods. Not as good as re-naming saurkraut “victory cabbage” during The Great War but a fine entry nonetheless.
This is too cool.
Like the movie about Mohammed where the actors just stared off into space and listened to silence when he spoke.
So, we sell a regular old imagless Danish on Ebay, claiming to bear the image of Mohammed. Include the disclaimer, “Images of the Prophet are forbidden.”
Visit the Iron Skillet in Sedro Woolley Washington. Freedom Fries are still on the menu, and when you order Biscuits and Gravy, you get little American Flags on toothpicks stuck in each Biscuit. Although I think their boycott of French’s Mustard has ended.
That one slipped past me. Odd since I usually keep my finger on the pulse of goings on in Sedro Woolley. I’m not saying there were none, but I’d bet that less than one percent of U.S. restaurants ever offered “freedom fries.” Yet the story sure had legs in the press - especially overseas.
I think the legs on the story grew so long, because french fries were renamed (supposedly) in the cafeteria in the Capitol building.
Renaming the Danish pastry is a wise business step for the baker. He can continue to sell them (there must have been customers), retaliation from a slightly frantic section of his community becomes unlikely, & he keeps his customers happy.
Heck, I’d buy from him, were I traveling through the area.
He’s quite practical.
I love this related story from the link:
•Three Killed in Continued Cartoon Violence in Pakistan
“Two men were squashed completely flat by a falling anvil in Islamabad today, while in a neighboring village another met his end from a stick of dynamite stuffed in his mouth by a mouse wearing a necktie. The suspect shouted his catchphrase “I’m a bad wittle boy!” to reporters as he was led away by oafish police with oversized badges and ridculously long mustaches.”
I agree.
When it all blows over it seems everyone reverts.
Has anyone ordered any Victory Cabbage after World War I?
Maybe that’s because the most prominent example of this idiocy was in the cafeteria of the United States House of Representatives.
Luckily, most American restaurant owners are not as stupid as their elected representatives.
Ignore the Pulse of Sedro Woolley at your peril.
I’m just sayin’.
Although I don’t think the various food stands at the Iowa State Fair would qualify as “restaurants”, Freedom Fries were featured prominently on the menus there this year. I would assume that those vendors showed up at lots of places during the summer. If you want to take the pulse of America, what better place than a State or County Fair in the summertime?
