AustinM, what part of [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=French_fries&diff=31671&oldid=27716 this] was a "false statement"? They ''are'' called "frites" (short for "pommes frites", which in turn is short for "pommes de terres frites" - fried potatoes) in other languages. The Belgian origin is apparently a somewhat complex issue, but I wouldn't simply call it false, either. --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 11:44, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

:I got a little confused. In (half of) Belgium they speak French, so its not true to say they are called frites in other languages (although in German they are allso called pomme frites). HAving done some reading you are righ in saying the french consider them belgian. ANyway you can put it back if you can find the right citations.--[[User:AustinM|AustinM]] 08:30, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
