    The fries vs. chips, chips vs. crisps debate continues...

    A British court just ruled that "Pringles" are in fact potato chips. No mention of the word crisps...

    when you say crisps, i think of like rice crackers stuff like that.

    CRISPS:
    Crisps are very thin slices of potatoes fried till they go crispy hence the name crisps!

    CHIPS:
    Chips are more larger bits of potatoes that are chipped of and fried!


    FRIES

    Fries are just another slang word for chips

    The only reason they call them chips in this report is so that the Americans can understand what they are talking about....

    Ive read the same report in a British newspaper and they call them crisps...
