ChuckyBurr@chuckburley·Oct 21, 2021Replying to @rabihalameddine and @jerrysaltzI believe French fries are named after a guy who’s name was French, don’t think it’s a reference to the country.
Stephen Hall@StephenJ_Hall·Oct 21, 2021Replying to @rabihalameddine and @jerrysaltzMy mother was asked what some vegetables were called by a Belgian couple who were thrilled when she replied "brussel sprouts". The couple had been wondering if everyone called them that. It makes me wonder about all place-specfic vegetables.2
