  1. Correct. But I’d add that fries are a kind of chip. Like how cookies are a kind of biscuit.

  2. This is what i keep explaining to Americans. Chips and Fries are different. But the middle ground is entirely vibes.

  3. They are all chips. Yes that makes it confusing. No I don’t care.

    Sincerely, an Australian.

  5. It’s about the slicing process: chipped potatoes are chips, french sliced potatoes are fries.

  6. There is nothing wrong here It’s just the correct way of addressing things

  7. “chips” are the chips you’d get at your local chippy. Crisps are well .. crisps as we know them and anything in between are fries

  8. Deep fried potato, Deep fried potato, Deep fried potato.

  9. The first one actually looks like steak chips, which aren’t quite the same as regular chips, they’re flatter and more uniform in size. I mean they are chips but they’re not standard chips.

  10. It’s all about the thickness and texture, and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on.

  11. Who is disputing this? Oxford dictionary certainly isn’t!

  12. Unless you are one of the idiots that ask can I have a bag of crisp please. No you can’t you fkin idiot you can have a bag of crisps! Plural. End of.

  13. Chips are chips, if anyone referred to chipped, fried potatoes as “fries”, I’d assume they were foreign

  14. Steak fries, French fries and potato chips. – Blasphemous American

  15. Just to educate you: in Germany it’s “Dicke Pommes”, “Dünne Pommes”, “Chips”.

  16. The first two are chips for me, fries don’t exist here and yes the third are crisps

  17. I REALLY wish the U.S. would more broadly offer proper Chips as a side option!
