Correct. But I’d add that fries are a kind of chip. Like how cookies are a kind of biscuit.
This is what i keep explaining to Americans. Chips and Fries are different. But the middle ground is entirely vibes.
Absolutely correct
The first two are both chips.
Chips, chips and crisps
Which one is first? Reading from ltr or rtl ?
An actual meme? Are my eyes deceiving me?
Someone please explain this to the whole of America
Correct. Unless it’s Scampi Fries.
They are all chips. Yes that makes it confusing. No I don’t care.
Sincerely, an Australian.
When I was a kid I used to call them skinny chips and fat chips
Oven chips, skinny chips, crisps from the Irish
Exactly right!!!
Thick cut chips, thin cut chips and crisps
There are chips, and there are chippy chips…
Real english!
Indeed.
It’s about the slicing process: chipped potatoes are chips, french sliced potatoes are fries.
Viva la England
💯
There is nothing wrong here It’s just the correct way of addressing things
jacket, roasties, bubble and squeak.
How compact must a chip be for it to be a fry
“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
Deep fried potato, Deep fried potato, Deep fried potato.
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.
It’s all about the thickness and texture, and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on.
Who is disputing this? Oxford dictionary certainly isn’t!
😤
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.
Just call them fat, skinny and anorexic fried potatoes.
Chips are chips, if anyone referred to chipped, fried potatoes as “fries”, I’d assume they were foreign
Steak fries, French fries and potato chips. – Blasphemous American
From an Australian: these are all chips
As a South African:
Chips, Chips and Chips
Plot twist: They’re all beetroots
Just to educate you: in Germany it’s “Dicke Pommes”, “Dünne Pommes”, “Chips”.
The first two are chips for me, fries don’t exist here and yes the third are crisps
I REALLY wish the U.S. would more broadly offer proper Chips as a side option!
