===Description=== First concocted in the early 18th century in Belgium, fries were served as a simple side dish to more extravagant meals. The name 'French Fries' is attributed to Belgian journalist Guillaume Rubens, who claimed the food's oily exterior, weak body, and salty persona reminded him of the French. Outraged by this slanderous claim, relations between the two nations soured. When Germany invaded Belgium in 1914, France remained neutral, claiming Belgium "had it coming." They later reluctantly entered the war when it became clear German forces intended to conquer France. During battle, Belgian troops would share fries with their new found allies, helping heal old wounds. Curious as to how fries could create both enemies and friends, other nations became eager to try the simple delicacy, helping establish fries as the staple it is today.
