Notes From the Big Country

The British call chips chips and crisps crisps. Sometimes we call fries fries (but only in McDonalds). In the states crisps are chips and chips are fries, which befuddles me somewhat. In Australia where they seem to pick up a bit of both proper and 'foreign' English they don't call chips fries and they don't call chips crisps. Crisps are chips and chips are also chips. You have no idea how much this has confused me.



Don't get me started on pants...
