History of French Fry

Exactly who introduced these golden strips of goodness to the world is not properly known.  Among the various theories, it’s generally accepted that the French fry was invented by either the Belgians or the French.

Potatoes were first introduced to Europe not through the French or Belgians, but through the Spanish.  In 1537 (AD), Jimenez de Quesada and his Spanish forces encountered a village in Columbia where all the native’s had fled.  Among other things, they found in the native’s food stuffs potatoes, which the Spanish initially called “truffles”.

Around 20 year’s later; potatoes were brought back to Spain and also introduced to Italy.  At this time the potatoes were still small and bitter and did not grow well in either Spain or Italy or somewhere.  However, over time, larger and less bitter versions of the plant were cultivated and the plant gradually caught on elsewhere in Europe, though it was initially met with a bit of resistance.

In any event, the historical account of the Belgian, Dinant and Liège in the Meuse Valley (though some claim it was not until the late 18th century), thin strips of potato late 17th century up to the point that it was frying Belgium. They supposedly came up with the idea of how this area, it is a staple of their diet as a small fish fry was very common for the people, was that. However, until thick enough to suspend the river, it is somewhat difficult to get the fish tended to. This fish instead of frying up the fish they did so, they cut up the potatoes into long and thin slices, and fry them up.
