they're called fries (not french fries - just fries- as in - would you like fries with that?) in McDonalds here (in England)- chips every place else.

Please excuse my ignorance here, but .... when you're taking "French fries", is this any different to what many of us in other countries simply call "chips"? (As in fish and chips, a traditional Friday night fast food which Catholics used to enjoy on no meat Fridays.) Longish slices of potato deep fried in very hot oil, then sprinkled with salt when cooked. Crisp on the outside & creamy on the inside. Eaten piping hot.


Your assessment of chips = French Fries is accurate. Your description [sigh] makes me wish it wasn't 3:37 in the morning. I'm now desperately craving some fish and chips from say ... Salt and Battery : http://www.asaltandbattery.com/menu ... which at this time of night is obviously closed. And even if it was open, I am lacking in funds....
C'est la vie pauvre!

real story.

When I was like 8, I overheard my dad talking about growing up in San Diego and eating fish and chips and how he was bummed that he could get that in the Midwest. I thought this was odd. To surprise him, one day he came home from work and I gave him a bowl of tuna and some corn chips (crisps).

I didn't understand why he found that amusing at the time. Granted, years later I figured it out.

Good night. Maybe I'll dream of fries.

But with my luck I'll dream of Frylock...

That is really sweet. Your dad must have felt so cared for.
My daughter hates fish - to this day she won't eat fish knowingly - but one day I made salmon and she was eating it and she said, 'This chicken is really good.' And her big brother who was about seven at the time and just loved to correct her said, 'It's not chicken it's fish.' She said, 'No - I don't like fish and I like this - this is chicken.'
And I said, 'Olivia - it really IS fish honey.'
And she said, 'Well, I call it chicken.'....

And speaking of chips and crisps -the trouble I always have over here is asking for chips when I mean crisps. I just can't seem to switch over to crisps - so I'll say - 'Do you have chips - you know potato chips' and they'll say, 'We don't have facilities to cook here' and I'll say - 'No, I don't need home made ones - just regular chips in the package...' and then they'll just look at me strange and then I'll remember and say - 'Crisps - I meant crisps...'

ANOTHER BIG VOTE for Thrashers (cept we get em at Rehoboth and Bethany)

You cant eat a large order so I like feeding the seagulls a nice vein impacting, cholesterolli laden snack.
