And who was it who you 'needed' to kick the English out of 'merica?.
I don't think the frogs had much impact on the course of that war, nor have they in most wars. We liberated their behinds in 1945, so I guess that's recompense for whatever troops they sent to us back then, and for your effort recompense for the pie that they gave to you.
Just for the record. . .
There's a certain (bad) Mel Gibson movie called "The Patriot." I don't plan on explaining why the two lead roles (revolutionary Americans) were played by Australians, but I will mention that there's a particularly amusing three-minute hatchet battle in the early part of the movie. For this reason I would doubt that "The Patriot" is readily available in the UK, however, I am curious how English folks would react to it if they saw it. I would guess not well, but I had to ask.

Humour me, how do these 3 minutes go.?
And for the record I'd rather have a good steak and kidney pie, than a piece of fried reposessed chicken bowel. And i like the French too.

Nothing wrong with pies. . . I wish immensely that they were common in the US.
Onto the hatchet scene: I think the set up is that some mean, English officer killed Mel Gibson's kid. So in a fit of rage Mel grabs a hatchet and treks out to intercept a hapless, English supply wagon. Three minutes later, the hatchet is very bloody. In the amount of writing I wish to do (which isn't too much) can't really do justice to the details of the hatchet combat, since it is actually quite impressive. If you ever manage to watch "The Patriot," just shut it off after the hatchet scene, because the rest is crap.

I think that you need to re-consider that position, they sent ships, supplies and troops, and also loaned us $11 million dollars (10% of the cost of the war - maybe $200 million in today's dollars). I think that the war would have still been won eventually, but it may have lasted a lot longer without France.

with a coating of good food too. Hmm, what your national dish? French Fries - Hamburgers?
Meat pies came from France. I guess this is fitting since so did England.
