Talk:German fries

"Name game" – really?
>> by 1918, "French fries", shortened to "fries", had won the name game in the United States and Canada << What "game"? German fries (Bratkartoffeln) and French fries (pommes frites) are different dishes. -- Picapica (talk) 14:40, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Merge with Home fries
I can't see much of a difference between the two dishes and thus propose they be merged. Anyone who disagrees? -- H005 (talk) 07:29, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * While I personally dislike the atomization of dishes groups just because in country A or region B a pinch of whatnot needs to be added, I wish to point out that the "German fries" article features a fundamental error in the introduction by wrongly quoting its source. Potatoes are not sliced into "any sizes and shapes", the source states the contrary. I'll correct that with a Henriette Davidis citation in a minute. "Home fries" is a more general, generic term and not a specific dish. Kind regards, Grueslayer 10:05, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I had noticed that, too, and would actually harmonize / clean up that with the merge. -- H005 (talk) 20:37, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, that would be like merging Chili con carne with Stew. Kind regards, Grueslayer 06:18, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
