Italian Food and French Fries

I didn't expect to see as much Italian dishes in France as what we have experienced. Pizza is everywhere, some good some bad but always available. Almost all restaurants I have been to have had Italian dishes and French fries. The Italian food is actually really good, very similar to food you would get in Italy as I visited "Italia" 2 years ago. The cheese actually has some taste, not just the stretchy cheese you get at "Domino's" back home.

A lot of people ask, "Do they have french fries in France" the answer is "Yes they do". They have them everywhere, nice restaurants and hole in the walls with every type of entree. The French EBS students said they everyone loves them. Its funny that they are called French Fries but are actually Belgian. I think that was an American mistake. We tend to think of French Fries as Burger sides but not here, they are with everything served. I guess i have been basically eating italian and belgian dishes for a week.
