That explains! I always thought chips=fries like in fish n chips.
I guess they produce for foreign markets in different packages. (And tastes… no marmite _crisps_ I was looking for. But then I remembered another favourite flavour…)

Oh yeah, well remembered! I don’t know what crisps Jughead-you likes but if it was Kate-driven it was probably onion rings or scampi fries.
Diane, make a note for me to start liking more people-friendly crisp flavours.

Both Jughead and me would have left it to you, so it certainly would have been Kate-driven (🤸♀️ wheeeee). However, while I haven´t tried scampi fries, onion rings are certainly fine by me. I might have added some cheeseballs maybe.

That’s acceptable.

🤣
In some ways I liked it when we didn’t know who Diane was. But in others I really liked Laura Dern.
Er, link back to food… Doughnuts!

Once there is 23% of fat in there, you can’t call that cereal anymore.
_passes on the sack of Salt & Balsamic vinegar crisps_ (28% fat)

I think they mean it in the sense of ‘fried things’. Like ‘bacon grills’.
They’re a weird shape, actually. Hollow, like little fried, crumbly pillow cases.

_takes packet of crisps_
But _fries?_ That’s the word for “rectangular deep-fried potatoes”, not “crispy snacks you eat from a small packet”
_refuses to give crisps back_
Mine now.

I thought for a second you wrote “deep-freeze” there… which would be blasphemy (fries must be freshly cut, not frozen before frying)
So what to call these thing?
_steals the (real) fries from behind your back_

Chipsticks, of course! (That’s actually one particular brand of these things, that I used to eat a lot when I was younger, so now I call all of these things chipsticks.)

Ehh, I’m only craving chipsticks now anyways. 😋

Since you’re already here, you could look for some strange food nearby 🙂.
Also, I recommend stealing metal chopsticks:

Easier to handle, and likely more friendly towards the environment.

White Twix spotted in my hometown (picture from today):
The package says only “new” (“Neu”) but _not_ limited. But we’ve only found the sticks, not the normal bars. But I would guess that they taste the same. 😉

What a coincidence! 😮 I saw the “Walkers” version of the scampi chips today here in my hometown - and I thought: “odd”… 😉
