At one time, potatoes were only eaten by Americans. Then Columbus came
along, and potatoes spread all over the globe, where people eat them in
all manners, but none more than fried. Hot fried potatoes, crispy on the
outside and tender on the inside, are so universal that they are often
just called “fries” in the local language. But once you’ve cooked them
and named them, the method of eating them varies from place to place. Of
course, in any country there are many different preferences, but
tradition and taste fall into different styles in different places. Read about some of those styles in an article I posted at mental_floss.
