Do you think that French fries are really French? French fries are called "pommes frites" in France and they are not from France. French fries come from Belgium(比利时) originally. French fries are made of potatoes, and they are cut and fried. The fried potatoes are called French fries because they were first seen by Americans in Belgium, but they were fried in the French way. The French way is to fry potatoes twice with a small pause in the middle.
During World War I, there were a lot of hungry American soldiers in Northern France and Belgium. They ate French fries in Belgium. After the war was over, the soldiers went back home to America. However, they missed French fries so much that they made French fries at home. That's how French fries were first introduced to America.
French fries were called Belgian fries once, but the name was finally changed to French fries. Sometimes French fries are just called fries.
French fries are one of the most popular potato foods in America. American fast food restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King have French fries on their menus. French fries are freshly fried, and usually served with hamburgers.
If you visit any fast food restaurant in America and order a hamburger, you will probably hear "You want fries withthat?"Why don't you think about the history of French fries a little while, and say "Yes, please. Thank you."

Weeks before Tomb—sweeping Day in April this year, hundreds of qingtuan were sold each day. The snack was still a must—have for many people.
In the southern part of China, eating qingtuan at the beginning of spring is a kind of tradition for people. The Chinese began to eat it more than 2,000 years ago. Making it really takes time and energy, and it is very delicious due to its softness, freshness and sweetness. The secret behind its mouth-watering taste is one of its materials-mugwort (艾蒿) leaves. The plant is mainly found in Yangtze River Delta where it has perfect conditions to grow.
Now, qingtuan has already spread its special taste to the north of China. Li Yuan, a 30-year-old engineer who grew up in Zhejiang Province, brought qingtuan back to Beijing where he works. “It tastes different in and out of my hometown.” He said, “There’s no place like home.”
Qingtuan becomes more and more popular across the whole country. Even though there is warm weather and green leaves in spring, the season wouldn’t complete without a taste of qingtuan. So it makes the start of the spring this year.
