chips = french fries

Chips and French fries aren't really the same thing.

We get fries in McDonalds, and some other fast food places. Fries are sometimes referred to as chips by some people, but chips are usually fatter and taste different. Someone who can cook might be better able to explain the difference.

Every chip shop, and most reseraunts I've ever been in have sold chips, but not fries. Most American fast food chains sell fries.

I think that good chips beat fries, but chips are inconsistant and you are as likely to get a bad bag of chips as a good bag. Fries tend to be consistantly quite good.

I suppose you could, though it's not common. I've had salt and vinegar crisps, they are quite good.


Canadians put mozzarella cheese and brown gravy on fries.   :drool:

Post by: 'Butterflies' on September 24, 2011, 06:33:11 PM
I always out salt on fries, never vinegar.

In Scotland, if you live on the east of the county, around Edinburgh, you traditionally have brown sauce with your chip shop chips.
If you live in the west of the country, it is fairly uncommon to put sauce on the chips from the chippie.
I always try and sneak a look at the chips before I make my decision. If they look good, then I just have salt and vinegar. If they don't look so good, I get sauce on them to hide the taste.

Yeah we have cheesy chips!  they are yummy.

Gravy on chips is ok too, as long as it is bisto.

The first settlers in New Orleans were men.  After a short while the governor asked the king to send some women.  Of course, they went to the prison and sent over prostitutes and criminals.  The second group of women sent were the Casket Girls who were girls of good reputation and good families.  Amazingly, not one of the first group of women settlers ever reproduced.
