My British room mate got me hooked on salt and vinegar chips years ago back before they sold them everywhere. He had to get them from a British super market somewhere.

Ah, I think you are confusing what we call crisps but you call chips.
The soggy chips with salt and vinegar I was referring to are what you would call fries.
Divided by a common language strikes again.

Stop saying "we", as if you were English, you froggy bastard. They are fried, therefore they are fries.

It's logical to something that is fried (and isn't soggy. If they come out soggy, congratulations, you have totally ruined something as simple as french fries...) is called "fries".

As I thought that he claimed to be Scottish and Italian. Where is this English thing come from?

I like France as well, also hallowed ground, but my wife does not like France at all, I love to stroll the River Seine, in the house that Napoleon built, but my wife can't get out of there fast enough, and back to Germany, where the trains run on time.

Ah well the German wurst with mustard has much to offer, when I was there as a child I had not yet forsaken the eating of animal flesh and was very fond of them. Rivalled only by the delicious Dutch smoked sausages which are Rolls Royce compared to the Lada Riva of an awful American hot dog Frankfurter.

I'm not so big on German food, when it comes to food, I am all about the Italians, none the less; do loves me some Autobahn, Autobahn FTW.

Many things are fried but only a chipped potato is a chip. A pomme frite is an altogether different animal as it is cut much finer, more crispy and a better product in my expert opinion.
And that's strike three, your trebuchet Guevara t-shirt is getting sent to Strangelove now, you were given fair warning.

Indeed, Fries and Chips; two totally different animals, although, I still put malt vinegar on my Fries.

Here in Canader, we sort of make a hybrid, kind of half Chip half Frie, Fries with the Chip skins on as it were.

I'll go through this one more time for you as you clearly have the memory span of a goldfish with altziemers.
I am 1/4 Northern Irish and 1/4 English on my Fathers side and 1/4 Gibraltan and 1/4 English on my mothers side. My mother is a Montegriffo which is of Italian origin but for at least 4 centuries the Montegriffos have lived in Gibraltar since fleeing Italy after being chased out by the Franks. I have never claimed to be a Scot at any point only that my fathers surname has it's own Tartan but that is true of the majority of English surnames.
I am therefore 100% British.
God save the Queen.........

Exactly, that so called plate of French fries photo which Penner posted a few pages ago is clearly a plate of chips as they were cut far too thick to be true French fries. You American neighbours clearly don't understand the first thing about fried potatoes and should stick to making those awful corn dogs they are so proud of and leave chips and fries to us Europeans who know one end of a spud from the other.

By "Northern Irish" do you mean Ulster Scot? If so, then you are technically a Scot- right?
