Why National Julienne Fries Day?
Hot, tangy and crispy shoestring potatoes are the best thing to get your mouth watering and treat your appetite with. From a whole potato tuber to crunchy and tasty fingers in minutes, they are the fastest cooking meal you will ever find.
They do not even get you in the hassle of double or triple frying. And that is why they are the most loved snack of the French. Have them with soups or salads or with a sandwich or as a standalone; Julienne Fries will never disappoint you.
Another mouth-watering advantage of these fries is that they remain crispy and crunchy even when cold and just as good the next day. So garnish your soup or have them; they are the best go-to snack too much on.
Eneas Dallas, in 1877 wrote in a book called Kettner’s Book of the Table about the sources of Jullien cut. He was interested in a recipe for Jullien soup. The recipe included the vegetables cut into long strips or straws. Besides this, the Woodsorrel soup’s recipe also has a Trinity cut on a leaf made by the two cuts on each leaf. It was significant or was related to some Christians or superstitious cooks.
Woodsorrel is known by so many different names in different parts of Europe. In French, Woodsorrel is known as La petite Roseville and surely. It was known as stubwort or cuckoo’s meat in England. Among many other unusual names, it was also called Alleluia or Allelujah in some parts of the world.
Woodsorrel got so intertwined with these Jullien Fries because when cooked, the leaves cook away, leaving only the twigs that represent the Jullien cut.
