damian 0 Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 I cant believe that cheese dude hasn't stepped in with the line "... no, but you can get cheese". Crisps (or chips as I grew up calling them) don't seem to be as common in Japan as the west. Most 'junk food' is generally made of some combo of rice, seaweed, soy or dry fish. Come to think of it, so to is just about everything. You are stuck if you like chocolate, not a lot of it here. It is also hard to get gummy bears and jelly babies. I don't think you will see them on the 7-11 shelves until they figure out how to make them from some combo of rice, seaweed, soy or dry fish. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Stuck for chocolate? Beg to differ on that - there are varieties galore, and not all sickly sweet like English chocolate. "Chiokoreito wa Me-i-ji". Da-yo. Japanese crisps are alright too, although the flavours are all a bit Japanesque. And they don't have the little packs with 7.532 crisps in them that you get in England. Only the face-sized packs that one drunk person can manage all to theirselves.

scouser 4 Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 You can get some good crisps here, although not the same brands, etc. Lots of choco too, but I prefer the UK taste... Link to post Share on other sites

sachiko 0 Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Is crisps same as potato chips? Like aki-chan, I don't know difference. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 S'right. English people call them crisps. Americans call them potato chips. What English people call potato chips, Americans call 'french fries'. I think the journey across the water affected their heads a bit and made them forget their English.
