    Chips in the UK are called crisps and fries are called chips.

      Yeah, I know. I’m originally from the UK.

      ETA: the ‘chips’ in that photo look too skinny to be real British chips IMO.

        Ah fair, I am not from the UK but a rugby mate of mine passed some UK culture on and tried to teach us how to speak “the Queen’s English”

      Just to note: we have fries here too.

      Chips are thick, fries are referring to the thin ones (like in McDonalds). However they’re still a form of chip so many just call them chips all the same.
