Question

Where do french fries come from?

Answer 1

Answer:

In winter, when the river froze, the fish-deprived villagers fried potatoes instead. It's said that this dish was discovered by American soldiers in Belgium during World War I and, since the dominant language of southern Belgium is French, they dubbed the tasty potatoes “French” fries.

Once potatoes were introduced to Europe, many different countries started creating fried potato dishes that reflected their own cuisines. What might have happened is that French fries were invented by the Belgians, a largely French speaking people, with the dish being adopted by the neighboring French a little more than 100 years later.
