During World War 1 the American soldiers were stationed in Belgium and were introduced to the delicious French Fries for the first time ever. Fast forward to this year French Fries are eaten and enjoyed everywhere all over the world. In America, French fries are most of the time served with a tasty cheeseburger or a hot dog.
