Well number 1 because they are made of taters (potatoes) and number 2 because they have salt on them. Number 3 because they get coated in lots of yummy french fry oils.
It depends. The source of sodium for French Fries is salt, because otherwise the French Fry is just made of potatoes. So as long as you eat fries without salt, then you're good.
I think French fries taste horrible with ketchup
Belgium. The way they are cut is the french way, so they are called french fries in America. in France they are just called frites, or fries.
Who was the first person to make French fries is not documented. It is even not certain that the first to do so was French.
From what I know it's because most Americans don't like the French. So instead of calling them "French fries" (although French fries were not invented in France) we called them Freedom fries. The name was changed as part of an idiotic propaganda campaign.Fries were always called French fries in America. until George Bush decided that it was necessary to attack Iraq. He attempted to enlist the aid of the United nations in this adventure. The French did not want the UN to be involved in a war of aggression and voted against the proposal. American interests were so annoyed by this that they changed the name of French Fries to freedom fries in protest. So besides not becoming involved in a pointless war the French also got a good laugh out of it.
Fries are short for "French Fries", so i would think that they came from France... =p It is my understanding that the "French" in french fries refers to the shape and style of the cut of the potato when making them, not with their country of origin.
French fries are both. You have processed fries, and you have natural cut fries. Processed fries go through many processes and machinery to get as good tasting as they are. Natural cut fries are just sliced and put in the oven, such as Wendy's fries or home fries.
They are called French fries because "to french something" is to cut it into thin slices. The French themselves don't call their fries "French".
French fries!
French fries french fries french fries
If their baked they can be good for you but not if there deep fried.
McDonalds french fries are bad for you because of the fact that they are fried and have a lot of salt on them, but they do taste very good!
