I'm sorry to say that throughout this entire gallery the key item is being spelled French fry, with a capital F. It really and truly is small cap -- see any authority on this. Webster's New Collegiate, 11th edition, gives a gazillion examples of French with a cap F, but has fries with a small one. As I recall, the Wikipedia article on fries has an *extensive* discussion of this point.

misspelling of a key word
I'm sorry to say that throughout this entire gallery the key item is being spelled French fry, with a capital F. It really and truly is small cap -- see any authority on this.
