How come french fly call "French" fly?

Question

What is it about French?
In my memory, it is about Napoleon.
But I forget the details.
Is it true?

Answer 1

French fries are really Belgian.

In 1857, the newspaper "Courrier de Verviers" devotes an article to Fritz, a Belgian entrepreneur selling French fries at fairs, calling him "le roi des pommes de terre frites". In 1862 a fries shack (Frietkot, see below) called "Max en Fritz" was established near Het Steen in Antwerp.[5]
Another Belgian legend claims that the term "French" was introduced when English soldiers arrived in Belgium during World War I, and consequently tasted Belgian fries. The supposedly called them "French" because the official language of the Belgian army at that time was French.[6][7]

Answer 2

I know of a french kiss (and can enjoy it with the right partner participating). I know of a Spanish fly (an orally consumed vaginal irritant reputed to make women want to have sex). I know of a french fry (fried potato slices that have tales of origin everywhere but France). There is a French fly, which is a fashion of fastening trousers. Maybe Napoleon had a hand in it (pun intended).

Answer 3

They're probably fruit flies - beer, ripening fruit, it's all the same to them. As an objective outsider, I'd have to say that the argument is kind of dumb. Both of you are asking too much. Look up "flypaper", and try to stop argiung about silly things.

Answer 4

French fry is dipping into boiling oil. That is the way the French fried their food. Some thought of julienne potatoes and that was the way they were fried. What Americans now simply call french-fries.

Answer 5

No. They are called FLENCH Flies. But now I think the neocons want us to call them fleedom flies.

Answer 6

Because a FROG can't FLY.
