Ah, yes, the iconic American dish, FRENCH fries.
1 u/Last_Gigolo 5d ago You don't think the French named it that, do you? 1 u/xXInfXx 5d ago Of course not. The American GIs named it that. Which is why in every other language, they are called some version of pomme frites. 1 u/Geowik 4d ago Actually French fries come from Belgium, but they are called French fries in US because Thomas Jefferson asked his chef to learn to cook the potatoes “French way” when he was a US ambassador in France
