Answers:
LOL Because France is the country where what we know as French fries first became popular!. Interestingly, they were (according to the story I know) originally invented in Belgium, not France!.

Furthermore, they're not universally called "French fries"; they're "chips" (as in the expression "fish and chips") in the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth nations and they're also called "fries" or "French-fried potatoes"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is some thing to think about!. maybe because they were , made in France, and America copied it from France, and other countries copies things from each others , I like this i love French-Fries my self too!.,,, take care Peace out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the statue of liberty was a gift from france so my best guess is to repay the favor we named the popular food fries after france!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The "french" part of their name refers to the way they are sliced, rather than a country of origin!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
