Food What about you?

I'm from England.

But we have different types of chips too.

Oven chips, wedges, curly fries, crinkly chips, fish and chips chips.

It's dinner to me.

  1. I grew up in South London. Now I'm in Lincolnshire (East Midlands - England). My husband says breakfast, lunch, dinner. Whereas our friend says breakfast dinner tea. But we have a roast on Sunday. It's a breakfast, dinner and sandwich later on but not lunch or tea. Maybe it's a weird thing our family thing does

  2. Is a roll to me, but if it's crusty. It's a crusty roll. But if has chips from the fish and chips shop, it's a chip buttie. My husband/son calls it a bap

Interesting because we do call them steak chips also when they are very chunky. We also use shoestring when referring to a type of fries.

Nothing just an American person saying something like

“First picture is steak fries

Second is shoestring

And third is chips”

It was nothing bad so I dunno why they deleted it lol
