I really don't understand why Belgium is so upset about this. They're literally fried potatoes. Choose something else.

THEY'RE NOT JUST FRIED POTATOES THEY ARE A CULINARY MASTERPIECE! THEY'RE CRISPY ON THE OUTSIDE, FLUFFY ON THE INSIDE, AND SERVED WITH A DIZZYING ARRAY OF SAUCES AND TOPPINGS THAT ELEVATE THEM TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF DELICIOUSNESS!!

I don't know why you think the entire country of Belgium has anything to do with this and it's not just a joke to laugh about language in the US.

I had a Belgian roommate one time, and he was very upset about it.

Especially since they didn't invent the fried potato. The French did. They invented cutting the potato in sticks instead of disks to fry them...
