No
one really knows who exactly invented the French fry, but most will agree that
the potato began to be cooked after Augustine Parmentier brought it from
Africa. There is a huge controversy over who exactly invented the French fry.
Northern Belgium and France both claim to be the first to fry the potato. The
French claim to have invented the fry around the time period of the French revolution
under a bridge on the Seine River, while the people of Belgium claim to have
invented it in 1700 in Wallonie. Regardless of who invented the French fry it
has become one of the most popular foods.
Fast
food restaurants all over the world specialize in fries. McDonald’s and Five Guys
are two fast food chains that specialize in fries for example. People eat
French fries many different ways. Some people eat fries with just seasoning salt
and other people dip their fries in ketchup. I have even seen fries smothered in
chili and cheese. There are many different ways to eat fries it’s all about your
preference. I personally just like salt
on my fries. If reading this blog has galvanized you here are some things you
should try:
1. Go
to your nearest McDonald’s and order fries without salt and then add your own
salt.
2. Go
to Five Guys and order fries
3. Go
to Foodlion and buy Ore-Ida microwavable fries
