LIARS! They are LYING!! They commited a CRIME... I will never let anyone pervert the wonderful name of "french fries". OR COFFEE...<img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> These health nuts don´t seem to get it: eating dandelion salads and raspberry-flavoured water while never touching or even looking at red meat, vodka, or coffee does not a happy person make.

Why are chips called french fries? What´s french about them? Enlightenment appreciated! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

It´s not French actually. It´s Belgian. Some Belgians invented the potato slices deep-fried in oil, and these particular Belgians came from the French-speaking part of Belgium, so when people speaks of "French Fries" it´s actually "French-speaking Belgian fries" Belgian fries are thick-sliced, unpeeled, and eaten with mayonaise from a cone-shaped paper vessel. How it transformed into string-thin yellow crunchy potatoe slices eaten primarily with ketchup, I don´t know <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

The Americans call chips French fries so as not to confuse them with crisps, which they call chips. Strange people <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> As for the evolution of the Belgian-speaking-French-fry, a bunch of people living in America found out it was cheaper to flash freeze pureed potato than slice them up. It also allowed them to use previously impractically small potatoes.

Funny that we don´t call them "Flemish Fries"... BELGIAN CORPORATION You have one cow The cow is schizophrenic Half the time it thinks its Flemish, the other half French The Flemish cow won´t share with the French cow The Cow asks to be cut in half The cow dies happy <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

These days, even a "French Fry" is not a true one. McD´s use to do fresh potaotes in them, they were good and better for you. Now they are either frozen or reashed potaotes that are formed into fry like shapes. I stick to Chic-fil-lay waffel fries. The best ever. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
