Nur mate. Two different things there.




Oh yes, I see a vast difference between these polar-opposites of fried potato rectangles. My god how could I be so thick?


Hey man, its not like we're talking the difference between a pavement and a sidewalk- some things you've gotta maintain. Also, different eating culture around them- fried fish vs. burgers. Plus vinager, mushy peas, curry sauce, pies, savaloys vs. what- ketchup? Plus fries are like, hard fried and chips are more soggy. Its like saying mash and colcannon are the same, or a baked potato and a roasted one. Seriously if you'd had good chips, you'd know the difference.
Credo!

I have been to your country many, many times and have eaten all the varieties of fried, boiled, baked, roasted and otherwise prepared potatoes. I've eaten the chips and/or fries in just about every nation in Europe and all over the US, Mexico, Canada. I've spent most of my life as a cook/chef/sous-chef.

I had to read this twice, but only so I could do so listening to THIS whilst I read it for the second time.

And you still can't tell the difference?

I guess you were never a cook/chef/sous-chef in a grotty chippy in south-east London. That'd learn ya quick :wink:
