As an unofficial festival, the origin of International French fries Day is still unknown, but this does not affect people who love French fries to revel in this festival and eat more French fries than usual.
The origin of French fries:
July 13 is International French Fry Day. Although the golden crisp French fries are labeled as junk food, they are still unforgettable. The French invented French fries developed by American fast food restaurants? Or Belgian snacks? In any case, this snack has been in the history of human cuisine for 500 years.
The English name of French fries seems to indicate that French fries were invented, but neighboring Belgium has insisted that it is the pioneer of French fries for hundreds of years.
In 20 13, the Dutch-speaking area of Belgium even launched an activity to include Belgian French fries in the United Nations World Cultural Heritage List. It is said that as early as the16th century in the villages near Liege and Dinan, Belgium, street vendors would sell fried fish, but in winter, because the river was frozen, they could not fish, so the vendors cut the potatoes into small fish and then fried them to become French fries. However, in France at the same time, potatoes were regarded as inferior food.
