Keep your friends close and your fries closer” – Anonymous

These lines will make sense to every French fries’ lover on earth. After all, those deep-fried potato sticks, despite being nasty for health, are also the source of pure joy. Greasy, juicy, tangy, sweet and salty – this fast food is getting tastier and more innovative by the day.

Surely the original creators of French fries, which originated not in France but in Belgium in the late 1600s, could never have foreseen their popularity! Incidentally, it was during World War I, that American soldiers stationed in Belgium nicknamed the fried potato chips ‘French Fries’, as French was the Belgian army’s official language.

This is how French fries made their way to America and the rest is history. Besides chocolates, French fries have the unerring potential to uplift a bad mood. (Now you know what you have to do when you hit the blues, thank us later!)
