Contrary to popular belief....

French fries were not invented in France, but in Belgium (they got the name because US "doughboys" in World War I were posted in a French-speaking part of Belgium when they discovered them). Visit the page where we share the recipe for making perfect fries the original, traditional Belgian way!

And here are some of the main Belgian sites about frites, their history, and "Fry culture" in Belgium.

• The Belgian Fries Site (site available in both Dutch and English)
  
• John's Frietshop and Belgian Fries Pages. Yet another study of the Art of the Frite by the people who invented them. The only Friet stall we know that has its own Net connection. Websurf while John makes your fries...!
  
• Frites.be: a clearinghouse for info on Frites.
