sortofanswer 2:The real name in French is FRITES.Belgians based on a family manuscript of 1680 say that they already cut up potatoes and fried them. In France the fries (pommes frites or commonly Frites) were first seen on the bridges of Paris in 1789 in full French Revolution and became popular.In 1830, Paris (france) and Brussels (belgium) fond of Frites (Fries). Even if Thomas Jefferson mentioned already "fried potatoes in the French manner" following his stay in France from 1784 to 1789, the fries have been popularized in America after the return of soldiers from the First World War of France and Belgium (where French is the official language), hence the name "French Fries".What are served in the USA as french fries are similar to pommes allumettes, although just a little thicker. It is strange to discover that the best attempt there is found "Chez McDo"! Fries are rarely salted by the cook anywhere in the US.
