en.wikipedia.orgSome people believe that the term "French" was introduced when British and American soldiers arrived in Belgium during World War I and consequently tasted Belgian fries. They supposedly called them "French", as it was the local language and the official language of the Belgian Army at that time, believing themselves to be in France
İngiliz ve Amerikan askerleri 1 Dünya Savaşı'nda Belçika'ya gidip patates kızartmasını tattıklarında, o sırada Belçika'da Fransızca konuşulduğu için kendilerini Fransa'da sanmışlar. O yüzden french fries olmuş.
