The Secret behind French Fries


Did you know that in reality, French Fries have nothing to do with France? All right, while some of us know that already, this is indeed startling news for others. There’s another surprise in line for you- the place of origin of the much-loved French Fries is not the US where it’s phenomenally popular today. Its actual place of origin is Belgium! 



The different names of French Fries
While these yummy strips of fried potatoes are known as French Fries in most countries of the world today, they are known as chips, crisps and fries in the US. It is believed that the misconception of this snack or accompaniment being French happened during the First World War, when invading troops entered Belgium and tasted the amazing Fries. They thought that the same was a part of French cuisine, and started calling them French Fries, when in reality these were Belgian Fries.





Go easy on the Fries
Obesity levels in the US are on an all-time high because of the predominance of junk food in their diet. One of the major culprits behind this is the excessive consumption of French Fries. Up to a certain limit, indulging in this will not harm you, but with the exorbitant consumption of this deep-fried, you cholesterol levels are definitely going to hit the roof!
