No, because the first chip shop was in Paris and was later imported to Belgium — the first Belgian advertising slogan for this chip shop was ‘fries like in Paris’.
You have even more to learn Chef Andy 😊 not only Belgium claim it but we originaly fry them with animal fat = beef/ox fat not vege oil, try it and see the difference. You'll never go back to oil Fried. Of course it's healthier with vege oil but talk about tastier.. ox fat all the way
Andy it doesn't matter if they pronounces french fries if it does or doesn't make sense different state, different pronounce like we say in Czech Republic. Be Carefull what you say next time.
That does not make more sense. Where does the name Chips come from? Seems entirely random. They are fried potatoes so fries make more sense. Who cares if they are French or Belgian?
The 1680 thesis concerning the invention of fries in Namur in 1680 is challenged by another Belgian historian Pierre Leclercq, he proves that the fries have indeed been invented in Paris, before it develops in Belgium in the years after (around 1860). As a French I however consider that the Spanish used to fry potatoes a long time before France and Belgium did it.
Interesting for me chips are fried thin paper slices of fried potatoes and french fries are a thicker and crunchier potato slice. I would get confuse with chips thinking rufles in other countries I suppose
I mean, the french don't call them french, they don't revendicate them (only if a belge is starting the subject), and call the simply "frites" wich mean fries.

Potatoes werent introduced into "belgium" or that region until the 1730's. And France did invent fries
Nope. Earliest proofs of french fries ar from Paris.

“Chips” makes zero sense for fried potatoes
The oldest recorded cooking of fried potatoes dates to 1629 though, a spanish captive witnessed mapuches frying potatoes in tallow.
A lot of Indians call them “finger chips”
Bagged chips (like lays) are just “chips” or “potato chips”
Sorry mate, the glasses don't suit u

French fries are called chips if I am not wrong. French fries are an American invention. And never call them French fries. They are bloody chips!
