Please don't call it French Fries. It's fries. Fries got nothing to do with France. >>>>> Despite its name, the French fry is not French. The origins of the French fry have been traced back to Belgium, where historians claim potatoes were being fried in the late-1600s. According to local Belgian lore, poor villagers living in Meuse Valley often ate small fried fish they caught in the river. During the winter months the river would freeze over making fishing impossible and forcing the villagers to find other sources of food. Enter the potato. The villagers turned to the root plant, slicing and frying it much in the same way they prepared the fish. And just like that, the earliest French fries were born. American soldiers stationed in Belgium were first introduced to French fries during World War I. As the official language of the Belgian army was French, soldiers nicknamed the delicious fried potatoes French fries. The name stuck, and decades later we're still giving credit to the wrong country. French fries are one of the most popular side dishes in the world. When it comes to dipping, fries often find themselves covered in ketchup, mayonnaise, or vinegar, but that seems to be where the universal preference ends. In Belgium, people prefer to eat French fries with cooked mussels or with a fried egg on top. The United Kingdom is famous for its fish and chips. In the Middle East, fries are wrapped in pita bread with chicken, and in France they are served with grilled steak. Canadians serve up poutine, a dish consisting of french fries and cheese curds, topped with brown gravy

at 07: 30 that's OUZO for sure, one of my favorite liquors perfect after a greek meal full of meat, garlic and onions lol. that flavor that you taste is anise, we have a similar drink called sambuca in Italy but sambuca is sweeter. between the two I prefer ouzo but both are very good

The intestine roll is eaten exactly like this in my father's hometown in Southern Italy. Of course these two geographical regions influenced each other(there are even Greek villages close to the coast)

I wonder how much that platter cost? I wanna go to Greece and eat what they ate, plus the historical places like the Parthenon which we studied in college. Also Santorini and Mykonos.
