Who came up with fries?

It is difficult to say exactly who came up with french fries. However, it is known that he was... Belgian.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen! Although the Belgian cuisine is not as well known as Italian French, however, the Flemings can count on your account this incredible hit.

All, of course, by accident.

Flemish fishermen eat meals consisting of vegetables and fish, fried in oil.

However, in a very cold day, when there was no catch, and vegetables is not enough, a clever chef decided to cut his existing potatoes into strips and fry in the same way.

Thus, the simple lack of the foods and savvy cooks, has become the invention, which subsequently conquered the world.

This happened in the early eighties of the eighteenth century, a few years later, on the eve of the French Revolution, the first fries came to Paris, where it was sold under the name "Potatoes from Pont Nofa ".

So where did the name "French fries" (as they are called the British and Americans for a long time called)?

Of course, the Americans :) "Well, stupid," as Zadornov.

When their ships arrived in the Flemish ports, the locals treated the sailors their potato delicacy.

And as they say in French (because it was the language in force at that time in Belgium), the Americans made the easiest possible conclusions.

In the future, this dish has gained popularity not only in America but also in Europe. But of course, world recognition - it is an achievement of American fast foods chains: McDonald's, Burger King, KFC
