Wait, How Did Fries Even Become A Thing In America?

Bella Bella Mozzarella did a nice little article about fries, and I wanted to share some of the information with you.

• It seems that fries originated in Belgium.  Basically, in Belgium, locals ate a lot of fish with their meals.  When the river was frozen and they couldn't get fish, they chopped up potatoes and fried them to try and substitute for the missing fish. Eventually, Belgium make mayonnaise and fries their national food
• Fries made their way to America when President Thomas Jefferson toured France in 1802 and brought the food back with him

Again, very hard to answer.  Bella Bella Mozzarella says, "At least 15":
