Newfoundking Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 It's a tie up between Belgum and The Netherlands. Which one actually did it? No one knows. That's the thing about old old items, no one knows EXACTLY where they came from, it could've been the two that decided to do them on their own accord at the same time, and it just so happened that they connected afterwards. They're french fries because an American found them in France and brought them back under that sort of name.Debate successfully solved.
