Fries are thin like in McD, instead chips are more like potato wedges. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

hanula Re: why chips, not fries? 25.09.06, 23:08 I guess it's because "fish and chips" has been adopted into American English from Br English as a whole idiomatic phrase (together with the dish itself). Similarly, despite the fact that it's supposed to be "biscuits" in BrE and "cookies" in AmE, you will find "chocolate chip cookies" in British supermarkets. They are a typically American invention and as such have retained their original name. As far as the difference between "fries" and "chips" in British English goes: yes, "fries" are thin and "chips" are thick. "Potato wedges" are different in that they are shaped like, surprise surprise, wedges, and typically have skin on, whereas chips (and fries) normally don't. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
chickenbaby Re: why chips, not fries? 26.09.06, 15:28 Above all, there is a British term for American "French Fries" (even though they really come from Belgium!) which describes the thin cut, more processed potato fries from i.e McD's or Burger King and other fast food outlets, home- fried, or shop bought "oven" fries. This term is ... yes - FRIES!!! On the other hand-British "Chips", bought mostly in the traditional chip shop ,are deep fried in vats of oil with salt & vinegar, greasy and fat,terribly unhealthy, don't appear to exist outside UK and Ireland.What Americans call "chips" or "potato chips" are called "crisps" in Britain.

Freshly fried chips in a good British restaurant are excellent. And they are not always served with vinegar. After all, chips are not just served with battered fish (and therefore lemon or vinegar) but are also the traditional side dish for steaks. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
steph13 Re: why chips, not fries? 26.09.06, 22:15 Well, British chips do not have to be deep fried in vats of fat - they can be easily oven baked too. Or even home made to boot. And outside MacDonalds or Burger King you wouldn't call them 'fries' for love nor money. Logically, they really are 'chips' or strips of potato and it's the American version that implies frying as preferred method of preparation. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

karul ludzie, przeciez 30.09.06, 04:31 musza byc jakies roznice miedzy BrE i AmE. po co ta dyskusja? a co do "fish and chips". raz do roku ogarnia mnie nostalgia za takim daniem, ide wtedy do jednego z kanadyjskich "F&C places" i zjadam porcje. zaraz potem rozumiem, dlaczego nie jadlem tego przez rok - cale to nasycone tluszczem danie siedzi potem w zoladku przez pare godzin, powodujac nieprzyjemne wrazenia. juz lepiej zjesc polskiego schabowego, ktory tez bardzo niezdrowy.
