I like classic no frills potato chips.  And I like to smoosh them into a sandwich.  That's really the only classy way to eat them

12 packs! Wow you really do like them

I eat french fries maybe once or twice a year. I have taken to slicing potatoes, brushing them with olive oil, baking them, and then eating them with ketchup, but the idea of frying them is just gross. 

I like potato chips sometimes. Not too frequently, and I very rarely buy them myself. I usually only eat them if someone else brings them into my vicinity. 

I suppose baked potatoes served in the style of fries is my favorite, but my real favorite are brussels sprouts! It's just that brussels sprouts weren't an option.

Ritz also has a baked chip the we like, less fat.

So if a potato chip is a crisp and a fry is a chip, what do you call a crispy fry?

I wonder if I can sneak a post about chips into one of the Trump threads.

I genuinely adore "steak fries", which are those ginormous French fries, especially with celery salt. The kind one gets with fish and chips. I haven't had any in a dog's age, though. I don't like the kettle chips, as they are way too hard for my preference. Maybe I'll split a hot pastrami from The Hat with one of my spawn on his next day off. They have those kind of fries.

I would classify those, respectively, as chips, crackers, and crap even I won't put in my body.

Ummm....OK....so I am from Trumpistan, and so we don't use the term "crisps", usually. That's most of the other anglophones. I think. Dunno.

So, I'll say that I do love steak fries with ketchup and/or mayo. They need to be crispy, and not oily. I used to have fries several times weekly in the 00's. Nowadays I don't eat much that goes with fries (fried clams were my favorite main with fries, but burgers were good, too). I still like them, though. Having relatives in Canada now, I want to try poutine. But I'll need to make me a batch. I taught myself to do funeral potatoes, which are mostly in Mormon or Utah circles.

And I always have Deep River kettle chips whenever I pick up sushi at the supermarket, which is at least weekly (usually with tiramisu cake or lemon curd cheesecake to finish it off).

If I could figure out how to do a good roti wrap, I would augment that with shoestring fries. With ketchup until I figure out how to do a Dutch-Malay peanut sauce (pindasaus).

What are funeral potatoes?

[c172]

The Mormons like to have dinners after funerals, and somebody will always bring funeral potatoes. Essentially hash browns or other breakfast potatoes, cheese, cream soup of some type, sour cream, and mix it all up and bake it. Ritz or corn flake crumbs, with butter, on top.

One recip here, but there are many:

It's not just Mormons. "Funeral Potatoes" is the local name in Utah for a potato casserole, a dish served all over the country under differing regional names with some local variations on the theme. I ate them growing up in California, Missouri, Arkansas, and Oregon, both mom's recipes and local recipes she got from friends and neighbors.

I like 'Thins' light and tangy flavour and 'Twisties' zig zag wicked cheddar flavour.
I like to alternate between Cadbury's peppermint chocolate and either of the chips.
In Australia, packet chips are called chips and hot chips are called chips.
If someone is confused you say hot chips or not hot chips. :-)

Chips: the ones from a fish and chip shop with salt, onion vinegar and ketchup.

Crisps: Walkers special edition hedgehog flavour were my favourite but they no longer do them so I'd have to say its a choice between Bobby's cheese snacks (cheetos by any other name but very heavy on the salt which I like) or Twiglets (long wholemeal snacks baked in an oven and flavoured with marmite which as the name suggests look like knobbly twigs).
