Who invented French fries? A French? It's actually a Belgian guy did it. But he sold them in North of France. Who invented fortune cookies? A Chinese guy? The fact is a Japanese guy did it. Who invented Pizza? Some rumors said Chinese did it. But after a long research, people found out that Italian truly invented.
I was in England long time ago. French fries are called chips there. Elevaters are called lifts. Sidewalks are called pavements.
