Ever wondered what French fries are called in France?
Frites! And the French are curious about the name cause 'French fries' actually originated in Belgium :D

About this blog
I started this blog in Summer '08 while interning in France mainly to keep those close to me updated about my adventures. Now, I am back in Baltimore and hope to start posting again. I would like to warn you to not expect any profound thoughts in any of the posts and sincerely hope not to be judged for my poor writing skills.

What about the French Kiss!! Where did that term originate! I doubt it was en France since they eat so much garlic :P
When's the next installment coming? The anticipation is killing :D
hehehe....So, I did some research on the origin of the term and found two answers...it seems like its just the notion that people have about the French that has lead to naming it the French kiss. People also use the term 'pardon my French' when they swear. So you get the idea.
The other possible origin is because of the inhabitants of a French region of Brittany that kissed in the 'French' way.
