Speaking as a Brit, French fries and chips are considered to be different things, chips are generally chunkier and French fries specifically are thin, equal sized pieces. Chips can also be oven baked while fries are always... Well... Fried.
I'm Belgian, we may make the best, but the invention occured next to the "Pont Neuf" in Paris. Just because a country invented something doesn't mean it can't become another country's tradition (bagpipes aren't scottish for example).
Finally an honest comment, plus originating a food from one single country is really delusional just like pizza is not Italian, sauce and vegetable/meat on a flag bread have existed forever around the Mediterranean Sea
Ok, this is wrong! So I'm Belgian aswell and wanted to know wether we actually could lay claim to fries so after doing a day of research i came up with the fact that the first written recipe for fries were from a Belgian author.
THE FRIES ARE FRENCH. Most fries used in the world, are thin fries, invented in paris. The belgium fries are fat big fries full of potato that few people eat
I thought it was because Thomas Jefferson was in France for diplomatic purposes and believed that the recipe of the fries he was served was from France.
They were actually originally translated in English to "Frenched fries" Frenched meaning the way the potatoes are cut. It's a type of cut for food! So not a mis branding just Americans being lazy and shortening the word
lmao wouldn't that be frenched potatoes? Fish fries were the initial fries to this day that's what fishing towns still call fried fish. Frenched isn't a reference to cutting at all.
In the UK, chips usually refers to the thicker versions that you often have served in a paper bag (or newspaper) which for some unknown scientific reason, makes them taste better. Fries, however, in the UK, refer to the thinner crispier versions you find at healthy restaurants such as McDonald's.
French Fries are a different style than Belgium fries, similar to how Waffle fries or Crinkle cut fries are all fries but not the exact same thing. It would be wrong to say that Waffle fries were invented in Belgium, as they were an innovation and different type of fry than the Belgium style, and Waffle fries were first made in America. All different Fry types originate from their own places.
The American reasoning is actually incorrect, the first use of the term was by current President Thomas Jefferson describing a potato dish he had eaten that he called “Potatoes cooked in a French manner”
There are written account of “french fried potatoes” in American English from the 1800s and Thomas Jefferson served them after he returned from France. I have no idea where you got the WW1 idea but it’s dead wrong
In 1680? No way. They were the Spanish Netherlands as opposed to the Republic of the Sevan United Netherlands in the North, which is now the Netherlands while Belgium has taken the latinized name of what even longer before were the 17 Netherlands.
So, actually, they're quite French, given that the first person to cut potatoes into "frites" shapes and dip them in oil for frying was a French person, working in a restaurant in Paris in the 1800s. This has even been validated and pronounced by a Belgian food historian. So people think they come from Belgium, when in fact they really are "French Fries".
I'm Belgian and I agree. However, they've now become an essential part of our culture, and I personally think we usually make the best ones (not that fries in France are bad). What's also special is the range of sauces offered with fries (but also kebabs and burgers) in Belgium. But yes, the actual invention is French.
True, though we don't know who was the first to fry potatoes. Merchants around the Pont neuf can claim the fries too...and it was in the XVIIIth century.

In French we say frites 🍟 and a legend is that a train for an important politician was late so the chef took his fries out of the deep fryer and when the train pick up the politician in question he put the fries in a second bath and this is thanks to him that the 2 bath fries were made
I'm British and everyone I know uses both fries and chips. For us at least, chips are thick segments, whilst fries are thin segments. Chips are what we call thick fries
fries were a street food in paris, the belgian government conducted a decade long study trying to pin down where it came from and they were gutted that it was first done in france lol

He is right tho, close regions share similar recipes, nothing new here. Belgian ones use thick cut and beef fat and French one slim cut and oil
it’s called french fries because it’s cut in the style of “frenching”
No because they have been created in Paris, France. Yes that video is completly wrong.

Petition to start calling them belgian fries
THE FRIES ARE FRENCH. Most fries used in the world, are thin fries, invented in paris. The belgium fries are fat big fries full of potato that few people eat
Amazing petition👍 I am a Belgian and also want them to be called Belgian fries
There's no reason to it. Belgium invented an awesome recipe, but the idea was born in Paris, France.
"im editing this video right now" gives off im in your walls energy
I thought it was because Thomas Jefferson was in France for diplomatic purposes and believed that the recipe of the fries he was served was from France.
Indeed.
Not it's not. They are called French fries because of the cut. French cut. Not because of the origin.
They were actually originally translated in English to "Frenched fries" Frenched meaning the way the potatoes are cut. It's a type of cut for food! So not a mis branding just Americans being lazy and shortening the word

Btw in France it's like a 1000× more common to just call it "frites" but idk about how our belgian neighbors call it

French cut fries. Not cooked in a French manner. The American reasoning is correct. Stop making up fake facts.
In the UK, they're called chips and the thin ones (like the ones form McDonalds) are sometimes called fries.
I usually call them skinny chips. Only time I use fries is if both chips and fries are on the menu so I need to specify which.
As a Brit, chips aren't just our way of saying fries, they are a varient of fries
Also the method used to cut them is called a french cut
No, it's because the fries originated in Paris, France.
There are written account of “french fried potatoes” in American English from the 1800s and Thomas Jefferson served them after he returned from France. I have no idea where you got the WW1 idea but it’s dead wrong
exactly
Yeah, it's very strange to hear this story when the real name origin from America is not that hard to find.
The pronounciation of andalouse had me rolling on the floor 😂😂😂
Fries with *Carbonnade à la Flamande* is 🔥🔥🔥
American moment
They're called french fries because of the french cut (aka julienne), not because they supposedly come from France.
No because they were invented in Paris, France.
but Belgium was part of the Netherlands at that time, so fries are actually a Dutch invention
And the dutch people call fries Patat.
In 1680? No way. They were the Spanish Netherlands as opposed to the Republic of the Sevan United Netherlands in the North, which is now the Netherlands while Belgium has taken the latinized name of what even longer before were the 17 Netherlands.
In Britain fries are called fries but if they are thicker they are called chunky chips
I have to say, from a spanish listening him speaking "patatas fritas" was so good
So, actually, they're quite French, given that the first person to cut potatoes into "frites" shapes and dip them in oil for frying was a French person, working in a restaurant in Paris in the 1800s.

I know French Fries is wrong but… chips?? Why?? I will never understand
Because it's... chipping parts of the potato? I honestly don't know.
Even though we do say chips, we mainly just say fries.
The same reason americans call crisps chips, probably. A chip is a cut piece of something, and historically a cut piece of a vegetable
As a Brit, I only ever call chips the thick ones you get with fish and chips and fries what everyone else call fries
