THE BEST fries, are served in Gent ( East-Flanders province, Belgium ) in a “frietkot” called: “De Gouden SatÃ©”.

It’s a very well known place in Gent where they will sell you the best fries ever.

The 60.000+ students of Gent will probably all agree with this..!

The [Walloons], inhabitants of Wallonia, the southern, French-speaking half of Belgium...Belgian historian Jo Gerard recounts that potatoes were fried in 1680 in the [Spanish Netherlands], in the area of "the Meuse valley between Dinant and LiÃ¨ge, Belgium.

Etymology Oven baked fries :arrow: :cool: Etymology---The phrase means potatoes fried in the French sense of the verb "to cook", which can mean either sautÃ©ing or deep-grease frying. While its French origin, frire, unambiguously means deep-frying, frites being its past participle is used with a plural feminine substantive, as in pommes de terre frites ("deep-fried potatoes").

...The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). ...ps~ hard on the joints :???:

The ones your eating are Belgium fries (they are thick) The French fries are very thin something like halve the width of a Belgium fries.

The Belgium fries are the best.

Marina could you indulge us the knowledge of the origin of ["I cross my heart."] As in making a solemn promise to someone. Is it religious? I would very much like to know where we got this. Thank you!!

So that means French toast isn’t as [romantic] as I thought? Darn that means I’m not so sexy with a [loaf] of bread in my teeth …

I’m of Belgian descent… I knew that one! I did not know that it started in 1918 after the Great War, though. My favorite French Fries come from Culver’s Resturant (a chain of Fast food stores in the upper-mid-west). Thank you.
