Chips

[Gonz]

I knew about the chips but never heard crisps before...

 

[Leslie]

I'm lost on the ketchup thing ?( tomato sauce for me is a foundation for spaghetti sauce

 

[unclehobart]

Ketchup is also the base for a good deal of BBQ sauces in the states... and that is quite a common flavor for crisps down here.

I haven't got up the nerve for the Works yet lol after the pizza chips fiasco I'm sticking with what I know.

leslie is pretty much right:

crisps here are chips in the us, but chips here are a little different from the us french fry. they are much larger and less crispy.

i have heard the uk thing of fish'n'chips did go through a spell of being haute cuisine in new york, but i think the novelty wore off and fries came back into fashion.

do you guys go in for mayonnaise on chips/fries like they do on the european continent?

 

[Gonz]

most people like ketchup on their fries, I like mustard

it looks like fries are machine cut & "chips" are handcut

 

[Leslie]

me, no, I'm trying not to vomit at the thought , but hubby is sitting here and says he likes it. Mayonnaise mixed with relish on battered fish is good as a substitute for tartar sauce in a pinch though

I love dipping my fries in mayo and potato chips are delightful dipped in green goddess dressing.

Haven't heard before of green goddess dressing, is it a recipe or a brand name?

 

[Q]

It's made by Kraft. It's kind of a funky green color, but it's really good. It's really salad dressing, but I figure you can dip chips in whatever ya want

Season for cold salad ?(

As opposed to hot salad ?(

California & Brazil ship year 'round now, tis always salad time

Winter=no salad for me - I can't speak for all Canadians, lettuce is sold here during the winter, but in the main, I don't do cold salad in the winter, when you come in from -32c you don't want to eat anything cold. So we (my family we and lots of others we know) really only eat salad in the spring, summer, fall. To boot, non-seasonal vegetables are costly, so it makes financial sense too.

There are lots of hot salads to make, german potato for one, mainly though just hot vegetables canned, frozen, fresh mostly root.

Salad's too expensive in winter.
