The French admit that ‘French fries’ are in fact Belgian? Sounds very un-French.

I don't. I don't necessarily think they're French either tho, but France, Spain and Chile each have a better claim to it than Belgium.

The term French Fries was most likely coined by American GIs, the French never had anything to do with that
