chips

Ok, chips here are "french fries." Chips as Americans know them are called crisps here. So, last night we took John's cousins T and J to an Italian restaurant. Tom got the lasagna and he had a choice of baked potato or chips with his meal. He ordered the baked potato but due to an error, the table got chips, too. Chips come with almost any meal here. Before I moved, people told me to expect potatoes with my food. I guess chips are a type of potato but not really what people meant. When we were in the North, we were served chips with mayo on them. It is more common to eat them with mayo or vinegar than catsup here.
