■ Culture tips
Did French fries originate in France? Some say fries originated in Belgium (比利時), where villagers often ate fried fish and fried potatoes in winter. American soldiers discovered the dish in Belgium during World War I. They called the food French fries because French is the dominant language in southern Belgium.
