French fries (American English), chips, fries, finger chips,〔Indian English, (【引用サイトリンク】publisher = Cambridge Dictionary Online )〕 or French-fried potatoes are batons of deep-fried potato.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=french fry – Definition )〕 In the United States and most of Canada, the term ''fries'' refers to any elongated pieces of fried potatoes, while in the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand, long, thinly cut elongated strips of fried potatoes are sometimes called ''shoestring'' to distinguish them from the more thickly cut strips called ''chips''. French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner, or on their own as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of fast food restaurants. French fries are generally salted and are often served with ketchup; in many countries they are topped instead with other condiments or toppings, including vinegar, mayonnaise, or other local specialties. Fries can also be topped more elaborately, as in the dishes of poutine and chili cheese fries. Sometimes, fries are made with sweet potatoes instead of potatoes, are baked instead of fried, or are cut into unusual shapes. Fries made with ordinary potatoes are sometimes baked as well. ==Etymology== Thomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in the French manner" at a White House dinner in 1802.〔〔 〕 The expression "French Fried Potatoes" first occurs in print in English in the 1856 work ''Cookery for Maids of All Work'' by E Warren: French Fried Potatoes. – Cut new potatoes in thin slices, put them in boiling fat, and a little salt; fry both sides of a light golden brown colour; drain.〔(Home : Oxford English Dictionary ). Oed.com. Retrieved 12 September 2012.〕 In the early 20th century, the term "French fried" was being used in the sense of "deep-fried", for other foods such as onion rings or chicken.〔 〕〔 〕 It is unlikely that "French fried" refers to ''frenching'' in the sense of ''julienning'', which is not attested until after ''French fried potatoes''. Previously, frenching referred only to trimming meat off the shanks of chops.〔Oxford English Dictionary, June 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French fries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
