On the lighter side, did you know the first French fries were not cooked in France?


They were cooked in Greece.


Pun intended.



Do you know “French Fries” weren’t invented is France. They got there name from American soilders in Holland. They natives spoke French so they called them French fries.

Hello stagers,
There's no fooling you on this one, so I'll post the answer early.
Congratulations to those of you who answered Pomme(s) Frites as to what the French people call French Fries.
You win the grand prize 🏆
Now go to the nearest fast food joint and order a large Pommes Frites and see the weird looks you get.
Look for another trivia question about French Fries labeled I still love French Fries.

If you go to Five Guys, they do them in Peanut Oil. Sears them and they are better than other fast food places. IMO Of Course.

I had them for the first and last time with my 18 and 11 year old granddaughters. I love all fish and seafood. Some people look at raw clams as boogers but nah if you think that try escargot. The texture is booger city.

Hello stagers,
I love French Fries. You can bake them golden brown. You can fry them or place them in a Air Frier. The crisper the better.
Here is your trivia question for today.
What do the French people call French Fries?
I'm sure that many of you know French so this should be a easy one.
I'll post the answer appropriately midnight Thursday or 00.00 hours.
Should a good number of you answer correctly I'll post it sooner.
If you're new to this game here are some simple rules.
Many of you get the same daily trivia questions that I do. If so and you remembered the answer or saved it for a quick reference by all means share your answers.
If you don't know and look up the answer then post it that is a no no. And of course if you know the answer show off your skill by sharing your knowledge with us.
Guesses are the most fun and certainly the most entertaining.

Love French fries. Especially fresh cut. If you’re in Quebec and order them they’re coming smeared with brown gravy unless you say hold the gravy.
