The Importance of Shape in French Fries

If French refers to the cut, I think a French fry has to be somewhat log-shaped. Curly fries are a thin rectangle. Waffle fries are batons that are cross-hatch on each other. What about cottage fries? You know the big ones where they just cut out like they look like thick-ass chips. They're like crinkle cut. That's not a long croquette. That's a mashed up fry. But you don't eat it pulled out. No, you don't. Sometimes. And Nicole, before you get to like, well, well, curly fries aren't, but they are. These are the rules I'm making.
