Ok, now most of you are wondering what the hell this is about.
Some of us on the IRC channel have been having a friendly(through heated sometimes) debate about the correct name for chips.
As I see it, in Australia, we call them:
Potato chips or chips for the cold flavoured kind.
Hot Chips for the kind you buy at the Fish 'n' Chip shop.
Now I know I'm bloody right! and everyone else is wrong.
There's no such thing as crisps or french fries, and when you say "Chips" thats means the kind you buy in a packet, not Hot Chips!
Ah, good to get that off my back, hehe.

Is this what you talk about on IRC, no wonder its taking me sol long to get connected.
Chips are potato chips covered in artifical flavouring.
Fries are hot potato slices.
Home fries are bits of hot potato with seasoning
Crispers are crackers.
Also in USA some Fish n Chips places will give you chips as in un seasoned cold potato chips.

A fish 'n' chip shop normally doesn't sell Chips, so its a moot point, but IF they do we have an inbuilt mechanism for identifing between HOT CHIPS and chips.
First off, if we're buying BOTH fish and chips, we say "FishanChips" as a single word so everyone knows, or we just bloody well say "I'll have a piece of Cod and some HOT chips, oh and a carton of XXXX, mate (every fish'n'chip shop in Australia sells Beer too).

You said you wouldn't tell everyone that my Girlfriend rules my life!! I'm whipped, I know it, but I still eat the odd packet when she's not watching (I just have to hide the evidence, hehe).
As for the American term, the Yanks invented the Potato Chips , so thats why we friggin call it a Chip, not a Crisp!! The Potato Chip was invented by George Crum in 1853 in New York.

You Brits are always making up your own names for things that already have names! But the truth is out there now for all to see!
Its Chips or Potato Chips, not Crisps!!

...and history obviously started in 1853 did it ? LOL
Just cos Australia is only a few hundred yrs old [to the white man at least] ... that doesnt mean that was the start of time itself :c)
We often create the words [us brits] but then the language gets bastrdized by many a different nations ... prey do not continue down this path as I feel you're floggin' a dead horse (lmfao)

Wow lets braek out the swords. the Brits versus the Ausy vs the Yanks.
Quite odd, if we want to go to history. French fries is a term invented by us Canadians. The brits living in upper Canada hatted the french living in lower Canada that when the fried up some fries, they imagined the french friing up in oil. So French fries is a term to imagine the french people friing up and dying in oil. So calling them Freedom fries because the USA don't like the french now is just plan stupid.
So that a new point of fun. And can't you buy Ketchup chips in the states. That is just quite odd.

We actually had Meat Pie and tomato sauce flavoured chips in Oz, i kidd you not!
Through they weren't very popular, that meaty taste made you fart like a horse too.

We Brits have invented lots of strange things.
The Americans and the Australians are two of them.
We never learn by our mistakes do we?

I've had some of that Hp sauce before(its not very popular in Oz), and it's quite nice.
But my personal tastes for condiments to hot chips are just some good ol' tomato sauce and no salt.
OR chicken salt by itself.
Anyone else got anything weirder that they put on there chips?? (hot or the packet kind)
oh and this is turning in to a bloody great thread!

I'm with you Damon1
salt and vinegar and tomato sauce, just perfect.
Note to Americans: It's pronounced Tomarto, not Tomayto.
The Dutch have mayonnaise on their chips, I know cos I've been to Holland. Not only that but John Travolta says so in the film Pulp Fiction and I believe him 'cos John Travolta wouldn't lie.

Not just the dutch, I also like some good Mayonnaise on my fries. Also other weird things depending on my mood. Hot mustard is also good.
