    Which is debated as there are signs that point towards Spain having done it first. Then there’s the fact that Belgium says they developed it first, not the French, and that remains hotly debated.

    It’s almost like people aren’t entirely sure where French fries came from yet north America insists on calling them French anyway. Wonder if a meme can be made from that?

      @Stamets

      I’ll simplify things for you. I invented french fries. Anyone who says otherwise is a dirty liar

      I always thought they were called French fries because they’re French style, as in cut into long thing pieces. Til!

      In Finland they’re just called French. Plural.

        That might be worse than Germany insisting shrimp scampi comes “with shrimps.”
