| Fries and Chips | Hamburgers | Pizza | Chicken Nuggets | Onion Rings | Ketchup | Breadsticks | French fries and chips are originated in Belgium and France. Poor villagers from the Meuse Valley used to eat small fried fish decided to fry potatoes and that is how french fries were made. | Hamburgers are from Wisconsin and was invented when Nagreen, known as Hamburger Charlie decided to put beef meatballs in slices of bread so people can walk around and eat easily. | Chicken nuggets were made in Cornell University after a baker realized that meat stays fresh longer without the skin, and she achieved it by mixing grounded chicken meat with vinegar and salt.(They were actually called Chicken Crispies!) | Onion rings were originated right here in the United States, in Texas, when people wanted to make fried chips in the flavor of onions, later a recipe for deep-fried onion rings dipped in milk then dredged in flour appeared in a 1933 Crisco advertisement in The New York Times Magazine. | Even though many people think of the brand by Heitz when people mention ketchup, many people believe that the first “ketchup” was made in China and was called CatSup, a special thick sauce made with tomatoes and starch. | Way back in the 14th Century BCE, Italy, breadsticks were a delicacy that people enjoyed. It was made when people got tired of the standard bread slices and wanted something with a different flavor, texture and structure. | Pizza was invented in Italy and made a pizza with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil to represent the national colors of the flag of Italy. |
