Frozen french fries were introduced by Maxson Food Systems of Long Island, New York.
From time to time, we'll have these a lot.
American per-capita potato consumption had interestingly declined since 1910, and was not measured at previous levels until 1962, when french fries were a fast-food restaurant staple.
I would not have guessed that, or frankly anything close to that.
Indeed a decline from 1910 to 1962 really surprises me.
I personally used to grow large volumes of potatoes, picking up where my later father had left off. Maybe because its because I'm more Irish than most Irish, but I love them.
An item on frying fries:
The first UN Security Council veto was made by the Soviet Union, killing a resolution concerning the withdrawal of British and French forces from Syria and Lebanon, while it still occupied parts of Iran. Basically, the Soviet Union wanted the British and French out of Syria and Lebanon (which really was a French thing) while they still had their claws in Eastern Europe, North Korea, Sakhalin, and Iran.
They'd leave Iran, and with the fall of the Soviet Union, they'd leave many other places as well. With the Russo Ukrainian War, they're trying to claw their way back in, however ,and they've never left Sakahlian.
The Sikorsky S-51, the first helicopter sold for commercial rather than military use, although it received military use, was flown for the first time.
The chopper would be manufactured until the late 1950s.
