The French gave the world the hot air balloon, the sewing machine, and the bikini. They even gave the United States the Statue of Liberty. However, one thing the French cannot claim is the French fry. Despite its name, the French fry is not French. The origins of the French fry have been traced back to Belgium, where historians claim potatoes were being fried in the late-1600s. It is said that poor villagers living in Meuse Valley often ate small fried fish they caught in the river. During the winter months the river would freeze over, making fishing impossible and forcing the villagers to find other sources of food. The villagers turned to the root plant, the potato. They sliced and fried it much in the same way they prepared the fish, and just like that, the earliest French fries were born. When American soldiers were stationing in Belgium during World War I, they were introduced to the delicious fried potatoes. Since the official language of the Belgium army was French, American soldiers nicknamed the tasty food “French fries.” The name stuck, and decades later Americans are still giving credit to the wrong country. Not the British though. In the UK, they are called chips. French fries are one of the most popular side dishes in the world. When it comes to dipping, fries often find themselves covered in ketchup, mayonnaise or vinegar, but that seems to be where the universal preference ends. In Belgium, people prefer to eat French fries with cooked mussels or with a fried egg on top. The United Kingdom is famous for its “fish and chips.” In the Middle East, fries are wrapped in pita bread with chicken, and in France they are served with grilled steak.
