This is led by Belgium, home of waffles and Belgium.

Well, that's right.

You may know Belgium for their waffles, but the Belgians claim they invented French fries.

The Belgian tourism board says Lafrites were incorrectly named French fries by American servicemen when they came to Belgium at the end of World War I. The French fries mislabeling was because many Belgians spoke French in that region at the time.

Today, there are thousands of dedicated fry shops in Belgium, but don't you dare call them French fries while you're there.

They'll get extremely mad.

Wow.

Did not know this.

So French fries are not French.

Correct.

German fries.

So I've only been to Belgium for like a day or two, but I was in Netherlands, you know, for 10 days and there were fry shops everywhere, everywhere.

And they're called frites and they put sauce on different sauces, mayonnaise, hot sauce.

And it's awesome.

Why in America do we only put ketchup on fries?

I don't.

Some people will put ranch, like a good aioli.

But fries... Malt vinegar?

You'll put malt vinegar on them?

In the Netherlands, they have frites stores that have 50 different sauces you can choose from.
