Actually, it is widely debatable and historians cant seem to agree on it. While it is true that the name “french fries” was given by americans when they tried it in belgium, many historians (belgians included) believe that they were invented in Paris, in the 19th century (long before the name french fry was invented)
Hawaii pizza is Canadian
they are potatoes, and meant to be enjoyed by all, not restricted to a national origin

Most people (even in France) just think they’re from Belgium because they’re more popular there
Then people made-up stories about how americans soldiers in ww1 ate fries in Belgium and thought they were in France ( they were called french fries as soon as Jefferson’s presidency and ww1 americans very much knew what Belgium was )
A belgian historian straight-up found they were invented in France, another belgian historian said they were belgian but never shared his source
