Hum you know actually everyone in France do give credit to the Belgians for the fries. It's one of their stereotypical meals. The French have no idea whatsoever of the reason why the English-speaking world would give them credit for fries (just like "French toast" isn't especially French), although as far as I remember, the "French" in "French fries" may come from some old English that got mistreated along the years.
