      … Invented in Belgium. IIRC some soldiers had them in Belgium and brought them home but mistook the origin to be France since they speak French in Belgium.

        It’s not clear where exactly the “French fries” were invented, but the most commonly admitted story is that it was invented in France and perfected in Belgium.
