I like making french fries but it's not hard, it does just take time -_-

[Jman]

OMG they really are french fries then! I just call them fries though.

[Holy Crap]

Why would french people call them french fries?

[Xenon]

Maybe because that's the actual name. Like Swiss Cheese.

[Beebop]

I prefer to just call them chips, lol.

[Xenon]

Well chips are actually different. They're much thicker.

[Beebop]

Yeah, but they're kinda the same thing, xD.

[Xenon]

More or less so, indeed. I prefer fries though.

[Beebop]

Same, they're more crispy and crunchy etc.

[Xenon]

Yeah and don't contain the 'juice' that chips have. I hate that.

[Beebop]

I've never had "jiuce" in mine.

[Xenon]

It's in pancakes too. Surely you know that horrible aftertaste of liquid once you've swallowed a huge mouthfull?

[Beebop]

You mean like oil, fat, or grease?

[Xenon]

Probably. Anyway, the same happens with cakes, marshmallows and cheese.

[Beebop]

I think I know what you mean. I think it is just your saliva that coats the food is all squeezed out when you chew into it and the saliva is infused the the flavour of the food.

[Xenon]

I'm not sure I wanted to hear that, but thanks a lot for that detailed explanation :/

[Beebop]

I found it quite disgusting, too. :s

Why would french people call them french fries?

Because English-speaking countries don't even agree on the meaning of the word chips

chips is a better word.

[Xenon]

Chips has several meanings, though.
