Do you think that French fries are really French？French fries are called "home fries" in France and they are not from France．French fries come from Belgium（比利時） originally．French fries are made of potatoes，and they are cut and fried．The fried potatoes are called French fries because they were first seen by Americans in Belgium，but they were fried in the French way．The French way is to fry potatoes twice with a small pause in the middle．
During World War I，there were a lot of hungry American soldiers in Northern France and Belgium．They ate French fries in Belgium．After the war was over，the soldiers went back home to America．However，they missed French fries so much that they made French fries at home．That's how French fries were first introduced to America．
