Nachos
Misconception: Mexicans eat nachos all the time
French Toast
While a Mexican originally invented nachos,
foodpanda.co.th found out that they were made
to satisfy the appetites of tourists from the USA,
out of spare ingredients that were lying around.
The man who invented them was known by the
name “Ignacio”, after which the name nacho takes
its name. A man named Frank Liberto eventually
starting selling them at stadiums and the rest is
history.
Either the French certainly enjoy taking credit for
some culinary masterpieces or the marketing world
just thinks adding the word ‘French’ on a dish will
make it sound more delicious. Even though they
are popular in France, French toast was around
long before the French were French. Some point
to a fourth-century Roman cookbook as evidence that French toast may, in fact, be Italian.

French Fries
Spaghetti and Meatballs
American call them fries, British call them chips,
everybody loves them, but Belgians were the ones
who did it first. A folk tale says that the Belgians
often fried small fish, and when they didn’t have
any, they would cut potatoes in fish-shapes instead.
This is the famous meal the Lady and the Tramp are
having in an Italian restaurant. Similarly, many people believe that this is a dish that comes from Italy
- they were actually immigrants in North America.
But more to the point, in Italy Spaghetti and Meatballs is never seen on a menu.
