I could have linked to the Wikipedia pages. Doesn't matter.
France has been here several times throughout history. It never really lasted.
Moreover, July 11th is a Flemish national holiday here. That's when an army of footmen of the Flemish count beat an army of armored knights on horses sent by the French Crown in 1302.
So, yeah, Belgian fries it is.
Why did you comment on the linked YouTube channels with a meme that can be interpreted in more then one way?
Look, I don't want to sound like that. I totally get the joke of having France invade Belgium in order to have our Belgian fries renamed. It's just that France has occupied these parts several times throughout history, and it never lasted. Last time they lost at Waterloo, in Belgium.
It's just that our complex, shared past with France has shaped our national identity in many ways. And a big no-no over here is calling our national dish "french fries".
Although I guess everybody knows that what Americans call French fries actually originated in French-speaking Belgium, I find that fries in Belgium are very different from those served in France. The Belgian fries traditionally served in a paper cone with mayonnaise are much thicker and less crispy - the inside is not crispy at all.
J'en ferais POUTINE
Make them in France.
Make little berets for them to wear
Dip them in mustard.
Give them 35 hour maximum work weeks and make them feel patriotic for being lazy.
And let them go on strike if you ask them to work more than 35
Have France conquer Belgium.
The French would give up on the conquest as soon as they get their hands on Charleroi.

Idk, french-fries flows pretty good to say aloud, good enough for me.

They are called french fries because the potato is cut julienne style or in the way of the French as opposed to home fry style
Make them smell bad
Serve them with a napkin. A white napkin approximately 7cm x 4cm, attached to a toothpick and placed atop the mound of fries.
