Explanation

French fries actually originated in Belgium, not France. The name is misleading - it may come from American soldiers discovering them in Belgium during WWI, or from the cooking method 'frenching' (cutting into strips). Belgium has a long tradition of frying potatoes dating back to the 17th century.
