Something We All Can Agree On

[John53]

I think we can all agree that there is nothing we can all agree on, including this sentence. And this one. And this too. And this.

I disagree

I disagree

So do I. I think. What was the question?

 

[Secret Chief]

There you go, example 1 is inedible and example 2 is delicious. Surely we all agree on that.

I can't. I eat both (obviously not from mcd).

Should have gone to Specsavers.

Hey!!! Where did that post go?

What does the bag say. Specsavers my sweet patootie.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Okay, compromise. Since it was a French (actually Belgium, but they aren't here) invention lets call them "frites"

 

[Secret Chief]

But let me try:

Fries


Chips:

The first must be fries cos no-one in their right mind would put foliage on chips.
Obviously the second one is crisps. (And note it also says "chip shop", not "fries shop" )

Sorry, fat fingers! (like chips )

Now an argument about what to call them has begun.

Since they are fried that does seem appropriate. But I always thought of a chip as something rather thin. Like a chip of glass.

Where @ChristineM is from, what you think of as a chip would be called a crisp.

Belgian? I thought they only invented chocolate. Not candy.

Hey look! You have shops that just sell potato chips. But you guys must have quality issues. We never have to reassure the customers by guaranteeing that our chips are crisp.

Eew, soggy chips! Who would want those?

Why are french fries called French fries？| French fries origin

Shh! Don't tell. That will really mess up the debate.

Actually, what Brits call chips are often sold as "soggy" - typically from yer local chippy (fish & chip shop). And I think yuk too.

Well some of them. As I pointed out, it appears that they have some quality control problems. Soggy chips . Mon Dieu!

I'm sure we can argue about something else. Get @ChristineM wound up on "white chocolate." She will get furious.

Hey! We can all agree on no soggy chips.

Uh oh. . . Don't tell @Evangelicalhumanist he might use the "p" word. He is Canadian after all.

Ooh, a white chocolate omelette. Or is that hitting below the belt?
