Julienne fries are sometimes referred to as "shoestring fries".  Julienne is a culinary knife cut where the selected food is cut  into long thin strips, similar to matchsticks. The measurement for julienne is ⅛ x ⅛ x 1 to 2 in (3 mm x 3 mm x 3 to 5 cm).  While term "Julienne" is often applied to vegetables (e.g., potatoes, carrots, celery), it can also be applied to meats and fish cut for use in stir fry.
