In the supermarkets the packs of really thin fries (like you get at Macdonalds) are called American Fries.
We have an even thinner variety called "shoestring potatoes", and they (used to, anyway) invariably have a British cartoon character called Andy Capp on the bag!

And now that I think about it, the big fat fries that you call "chips" we call "steak fries".
No idea. I guess the creator of the comic strip wanted to make more money by licensing it out. I never saw the connection either.
When the chips are down I go for crisps every time. Prawn flavour...yummy scrummy.
Prawn is sae gustie....dinnae condemn afore you sample! :-) Beef and onion then? Cheese and onion? Chilli if you like it hot.
I bet ADAM goes for boring ready salted plain......
Chips/fries......it's so weird that the thin, thin fries contain more cals than the thick chip-shop ones!

Prawn cocktail.
Cheen and onion.
A few years ago, in Britain, they sold hedgehog flavour.

Prickly business, too, grinding up the hedgehogs. I'll stick to sour cream and onion, cheese, guacamole, and (if there's nothing else) barbecue.
DAMIAN, my Russian friends might never try peanut butter again, to see whether they like it, because their first experience was with *very rancid* peanut better -- and that, I'm sure, is why they didn't like it. If you've ever had anything made with rancid oil, you'll know how nasty it is.
URIEL, one of the things I liked about Russian food was the frequent appearance of beets at the table!

Beets are a punishment, not a food....
I hear Australians defile hamburgers with them.

Mmmmm sweet beeetrooooot... the only thing that can refine a greasy, fatty, stinky, unctuous burger.
