On the bright side that was when I learned that fries were Belgian in origin, not French (I have no idea if this is true but I love it).

Not true. It's Belgian propaganda from a single person that gets it from a book from one of his ancestors that states they fish in the river and eat it "and that they've done so for a hundred years", while we have proper documentation (such as recipe book). Anyhow, we cook it in oil, they do in beef grease. Troglodytes.
Anyhow, in the US, the name comes from the fact it was introduced to Jefferson by his French chef. Because historic ties.
TL;DR: don't fall for Belgian propaganda.

French Fries with Mayo can be good if it's flavo(u)red mayo. But Vinegar on fries owns all.
