No... They're from France, as the name implies. Ah ah.
Well, the potato was discovered by a French explorer in South America or something. But who cares.
The best French fries are to be found in Belgium, yeah. I used to live near the border and our region had a strong fry-oriented culture. In Paris there's nothing of interest. Their fries are tiny and bland... They're only edible when adding lots of salt.

That reminds me of KFC, their chips are also bland, except they are thick, let me guess those fries your talking about taste like cardboard right.  :lol:

This thread started off has a flame war and now we are talking about food.  :lol:

OM NOM NOM NOM

if there isn't salt in my meals, the food doesn't have taste.

Actually in the ruins of Peru and Chile archaeologists have found potato remains that date back to 500 B.C. . The first Europeans to discover the potato was the Spanish conquistadors in 1532, though they didn't take them back to Spain until 1565 because they where looking for gold. Ended up taking potatoes instead, thats one talk you don't want to have with the boss (king.)

There were probly a few people that didn't have to worry about it.

Considering how much is poisonous in the world, you gotta have a fair amount balls and not a whole lot of brains to be the first guy to say, "Looks interesting, think I'll try eating it."
