French Fries from Belgium

 

 

Belgian national dish “les frites’ was wrongly given the name ‘French Fries’ by American servicemen when they arrived in Belgium at the end of the First World War. They named the fries after the French language spoken in Wallonia creating confusion with the invention’s nationality. “Les frites” are part of Belgium’s gastronomic and cultural heritage. There are frites stalls everywhere while visiting this country.
