Recommended Posts

Hey all...

 

Whats you differences....

 

in Australia....

 

Chips are a packet of chips (ie. Smiths Thins BBQ/S & V/chicken flavor etc)

 

French Fries or Fries are more commonly known as Hot Chips (ie. somthing you'd get at maccas or KFC)

 

Crisps...?? i think thats a pommie thing...?

 

Wedges are like a wedge of potato - hot.

 

Potato Chips tend also to be Hot chips?

 

What is it all in your own countrys.

 

*bored sam!*

Practice, Grasshopper. Long, arduous practice.

I'll have some chips, fried, crisps, wedges and potato chips please!

One week, the chicken got so boring that one tried Kung Pao chicken. It was refreshing; revitalising, zesty. So much so that the Next Thursday was decided there and then to be Kung Pao day. But hey

My take on this:

 

Chips = those fried from potatoes at the fish n chip shop

French fries = McD's and KFC and all factory pulped fries passing off as chips. There are thick fries now trying to pass off as chips

Crisps = comes out of a packet, manufactured by Walkers, Golden Wonder, Smith's, M&S, Calbee etc.

Wedges = Potatoes, unpeeled, cut larger than chips and fried

In the UK we say

 

Chips for the hot slices of potatoes that are fried and often bought at a fish and chip shop.

 

Crisps are the thin slices of potatoes found in packets at a supermarket such as Smiths or Walkers.

No, ``we'' don't agree. You can have crisps in the UK; here in Japan we have potato chips, preferably Calbee nori-shio (the world's best potato chips) although it's not anathema to mix in some black pepper chips, say one bag of black pepper to two bags of nori-shio. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

+1 Those nori shio are about the best. Friends back home always request them as omiyage.

I like to make sweet potato hot chips baked in the oven.

 

My wife bought a little round chip maker for the microwave. It only makes about 20 chips at a time (5 min) but you just slice the potato and stack them in this thing. No oil but they still come out crispy. Add a little rock salt as they cool....yum and healthy.
