美国薯条的秘密

薯条，在爱尔兰、英格兰及其他英联邦国家也被称为“薯片”，在比利时和法国则被称为“Pommes Frites”，是一道由切碎并油炸的土豆制成的菜肴。在美国，这道菜通常被简称为“薯条”。一般来说，薯条中的“French”一词在法语中不以大写F拼写，因为菜名中的“French”并不代表国籍。

Most food experts believe that the origin of 薯条 can be dated back to Belgium. However, the dish has gained a global reputation for its dominance in many American fast-food chains such as McDonald’s and Burger King. Typically, french fries are served with hamburgers at American fast-food chains. furthermore, the dish can also be served with fish, vegetables, or meat, or on its own. This is also an example of a classic combination – fish and chips.

目前，全球最大的薯条生产商是加拿大的麦凯恩食品有限公司，总部位于新不伦瑞克省弗洛伦斯维尔。该公司每小时的产能约为一百万磅土豆。麦凯恩食品有限公司在全球六大洲拥有30个土豆加工厂。

关于这种美国菜的起源，有不同的理论。一些人声称，这道菜得名是因为它用法国油炸而得名。另一些人相信，这道菜曾被称为比利时薯条或德国薯条，但由于政治原因改名，因为德国曾被视为美国的敌人，而其他人则认为，这道菜被称为法国薯条，是因为它在第一次世界大战期间首次在法国向美国士兵介绍。
