Here's a concept: the ultimate ode to the fry, or frite en français. Bruges is home to the fritmuseum, an entire museum dedicated to this culinary marvel. It's actually really interesting! You learn about the origins of the potato in South America (Peru, specifically) and its adventures being introduced to other cultures (Europe, the Americas, etc.), the different varieties and species (over 4000!) of potato, the evolution of the uses of the potato, potato farming, and the origin and transformation of the fry.
Fries are actually Belgian in origin, however when American soldiers were introduced to them in the two world wars, they didn't distinguish the people speaking French as being Belgian, thus the name "French Fry."
Best friterie in Belgium, and thus on Earth!
Here they are: the best fries I've ever had in my life!!!!
