No fries

A few years ago now, me and my friends would go skiing in the French Alps every year. For lunch we would often pick one of those mid-piste order-at-the-counter restaurants, where one of my friends once asked me how to order fries in French. Assuming holiday-level skills in reading French I just pointed at the sign that said: Pas de frites, after which he went on to order pas de frites, s'il vous plaît. And that's exactly what he got. The lady behind the counter gesticulated rather crossly that she served 'no fries'.
