I like to think that fries are our national pride, but foreigners call them French fries, and are confused when you explain they're actually from Belgium.

So, what is our national pride?

Not a big waffle guy myself, so I guess chocolate then?

The swiss have decent chocolate, but it's a whole different tradition from ours. Bring them some decent pralines and watch them struggle to admit that yeah, this is gooooood 😁

Fries are called French in English, not because of their origin but because it's the name of the cut... But few people know that.

As for mayo, yep. The French also have the good stuff, and i have to admit that murrican Helmans has ask the right ingredients and no sugar... But it still tastes off, somehow.
