Whatever.... I'm calling them fries....

 

[orangecurious]

frites and chips are different.

 

[AtramentousRex]

I never want to bother anyone. I'm learning to be quiet and small and keep to myself. As long as I can do that, there will be peace.

I understand....
But no one is willing to tell me the difference....
So. I get left to believe they are fries...
Because that's what they look like from here...

frites are thinner and, usually, cooked several times, so are crispy. Chips tend to be thicker and softer in texture as they aren't fried until crispy.

"french" fries are Frites... from Belgium. the confusion arose during WW1 as no one knew where they were and the signs were in French anyway. They are an artform there, especially in Flanders... fabulous for eating when standing by the road watching a bike race. There are many different sauces available for the frites. Hundreds!
