Belgian fries vs French fries History of French fries

Belgian fries vs French fries History of French fries



French fries are one of the foods we usually eat when we eat burgers
I like French fries, so sometimes I only get French fries.
Is French fries a French dish to call it French?





I do not know when the ending will come about this.
Two countries are fighting with french fries.
What country is it?
It's Belgium and France.

Let's go back a very, very, very long time.


There was a very humid village in Belgium
People here could not grow wheat.
So they caught a fish in the river and fried it.

In 1680, the weather suddenly became strange.
It's too cold.
As a result, the river froze.

People could not catch fish.
So people started eating potatoes.
But they missed the fish.
So they cut the potatoes into fish shapes and fried them.

This is the beginning of French fries.
Of course this is a hypothesis.


What was France doing at this time?
France also raised potatoes.

But the French people thought that potatoes were not food for people to eat.
They thought they'd get sick if they ate potatoes.
So they gave the potatoes to the pigs.


There is another hypothesis.
Time is the World War I

American soldiers and British soldiers in Wallonia, Belgium
They first ate French fries there.
The Wallonians used French.

So they got the french fries as French food.
At first they called it French fried potaotes
And then it was called french fries.


French fries are Belgian fries or French fries
In some countries this was called freedom fries.
It is America.

911 terrorism that was really sad
The United States planned the war in Iraq after the incident.
But France opposed it.

So the United States and France did not have a good time.

So at some fast food restaurants in the United States, they changed the name of the fries to freedom fries

In 2003, there was a similar case in the US parliamentary cafeteria.



The French Embassy heard this news.

He said, "I do not care what you call fries.
French fries made in Belgium"

He quickly became a traitor.

Fried potatoes have so much oil and salt that they are perceived as junk food in Korea
But in Belgium, it is sold as a meal.
And they called it Belgian Fries and applied to be listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

In Korea, eat fried potatoes in ketchup.
In Europe, eat it in mayonnaise.


God presented potatoes to man, and the devil presented man how to fry potatoes.
I do not know if Belgium was the source or if France was the source.
We will still enjoy the French fries.
