News 18  

French Fries are one of the most popular dishes. The most interesting part about the history of this food is that not one but three countries claim to have been the inventors of French Fries. Belgian author Albert Verdean, in his book Carrement Frites, mentioned that French Fries were first made in the Namur region of Belgium. French people claim that the first French Fries were made in 1780 at a food corner near the Pal Pont Neuf in Paris. American historians say that in 1802, President Thomas Jefferson asked French chef Honoré Julien to fry slices of potatoes and serve them before dinner at the White House.
