French Fries Day: Every 2nd Friday in July!

Every year on the 2nd Friday of July, we celebrate one of the world's most beloved snacks: French fries! At TakeAware, we take this opportunity not only to enjoy this delicious treat, but also to explore the story behind French Fry Day. For example, did you know that French fries don't actually come from France at all? 

What is French Fries Day?

French Fries Day or French Fry Day is a worldwide celebration in honor of the beloved fried potato strips. Although the name suggests, French fries originated in Belgium, where they originated in the 17th century. Originally, it was Belgian fishermen who began deep-frying potatoes during cold months when fishing was difficult. This tradition spread around the world and is now an integral part of our snack culture.
