Default Fish and Chips

Well Guys

I have just finished my fish and chips lunch, sprinkled liberally with low sodium salt and malt vinegar, which I heartily enjoyed.

That said, I do think that what you call "fries" in the US is somewhat different to what we in the UK call "Chips". For example, fries are the thin potato chips you get in McDonalds' which are crispy and are only eaten with some salt. While chips are thicker cuts of potato (2 to 3 times as thick), not as crispy as fries on the outside, soft on the inside and taste great with onion or malt flavoured vinegar.

And as usual, chips can be eaten with any meat, fish, poultry or (yuck) vegetarian dish
