Lord knows my body has gotten fat off of french fries. So, I decided to make my mind a little fat off of them too, and learn a little bit about them! For instance.. Canada puts cheese and gravy on theirs.. Poutine!
I would love to have one from canada some day
For some reason, England calls theirs "chips," which I find adorable. And in America, they're usually served with ketchup, which I'm sure you know. But other countries? They do vinegar, mayonnaise, or local specialties. Peeps love to get wild with their fries!
How long have they been around
So, One enduring origin story holds that French fries were invented by street vendors on the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris in 1789, just before the outbreak of the French Revolution. I think we're all glad they were.. we love 'em hot, soft, crispy, for lunch, for dinner, by themselves or with something else... We love them however we can get them!
I think ketchup taste great on them~
I'm not the biggest fan of ketchup, but I respect those who eat them that way. I actually have tried to transition to sweet potato fries instead of regular potato fries, to try to be a little healthier.
Some people eat it with mustard like in that movie'
Not sure which movie you mean, but I can imagine it! One last tidbit I'd leave for you: they're not hard to make. All you have to do is peel and cut the potato into even strips, so they cook evenly. You should give it a shot and make your own!
