Identify the text structure used in the following short passage:
French fries were not invented in the United States, but Americans still adore them. The first document use in the United States was when then-President Thomas Jefferson asked a French chef to make "potatoes served in a French manner." A recipe for "French Fried Potatoes" has been found in a cookbook from the 1850's. They were referred to as "French fried potatoes" until the 1930's, when Americans dropped the word potatoes and started referring to them as simply French Fries.
