Besides that, the comic is in English, and relatively few Americans would recognize pomme frites. What would characteristically go on the plate with french fries? A burger. But that doesn’t rhyme with “cake” either. Hmmmm. Costco now sells something called a “bake,” but that would be pretty obscure, too, even if it came with fries.
Steak frites, meaning “steak [and] chipped potatoes” in French, is a dish consisting of beefsteak accompanied by fried chipped potatoes. It is commonly served in Belgian and French brasseries, and is considered by some to be the national dish of Belgium, which claims to be the country of origin.
