French fries are loved all across the globe. But who exactly introduced these golden strips to the world?
One popular theory traces the origins of French fries to Belgium. It is said that in Belgium, poor villagers living near Meuse river often ate fried fish caught from the river.
However, winters caused the river to freeze, forcing the villages to find alternative sources of food, thus turning towards potatoes!!
They cut and fried the potatoes in the same way as they used to fry the fish.
Then, during World War I, American soldiers stationed at Belgium were given these fried potatoes to eat. They absolutely loved the taste.
Since the dominant language of Belgium was French, the soldiers named the fried potatoes as French Fries.
And Voillaaaa!! French Fries were Invented!!
