Actually, in the States all the variants are considered 'french fries' regardless of size as long as they are cut into strips, though they are differentiated by style (like my favorite, 'steak fries').

You bastard, I'm starving now.

Damn you. Now you have me starving for chips.

Just in case the Neanderthals amongst us fancy some chips:



Chips??? Fuk off!

(Sorry, Davis, it wasn't directed at you. )

A quick pic of Davis' garden shed:

I'd call them 'chips' as oppose to 'french fries' in VFW - although crinkle cut, they are moderately chunky - one minor compaint which if dwelled on could be ungraded to full on cafeteria destruction - no bloody vinegar, you have to make do with that black Maggi type stuff.

Betty, I don't want to be personal, but does your posted lady friend Sona AKA S/GF need a shave? Now men continue with the interesting dialogue on Fries.

Being the VFW, they are actually called Freedom fries.

^incorrect.

Sure!

Although the cheese-eating surrender monkeys call 'em something else.

The eruption of bubbling, boiling hot lard, a short wait, a couple of shakes of the wire basket. The tip out onto the plate. Add a sausage or two, some baked beans, a dash of vinegar or sauce. Ahhhh those were the days.

add a plate of half a dozen slices of white bread and huge mug of tea and you've got a scousers wedding breakfast

I'm really in the mood for a pile of hot salty chips now, I must stop looking at this thread.

Yes. civil wars, guerrilla wars, revolutionary wars, wars of succession, class wars, wars of genocide, wars of nationalisation, wars of unification and last but not least Star Wars.

Finally the fillet appeared, bordered with streaky bacon and accommpanied with chips and green beans.

No, he just hasn't tried Fourex Bitter.

OK, I have eaten at the VFW and had apparently the same gross food in 1988, November. We had been supposed to meet up with friends, they did not show and got taken to the Siri Hotel. The Hotel was OK, not great, but clean, not too expensive. In the morning we went down for breakfast. The food was grungy food. Bad tasting meat, greasy eggs, the same salad dressing by appearance. Across the way were two apparently veterans with young women sitting on their laps. It left me with a very gross impression.
I have been back to Korat many times since then. It is the city I am most comfortable in. I stopped again this year by the Siri and looked inside. It seemed like the same people were inside. I could not take it. It left me with a bad feeling in my gut.
I would choose a noodle vendor any day over that. Just my opinion, if y'all like it there, go for it.
