No they are chips because they are chips of a potato
What's in the OP is fries because they are fried.
When you chip something off it doesn't become a nice long line... it's usually small and thing. Like a potato chip.

Lagers are chilled.
Ales are usually sold at cellar temperature (so, cool, but not chilled).
You know why you chill a beer? It hides most of the taste. A good beer served at cellar temperature, and allowed to come to room temperature while drinking should be BIG on flavour.

older chips + crispy strips was my favourite fast food from like 1995-2013
then when you'd get the big takeout meail with a vienetta mmmm
I don't like them, as I don't like potato skin on my chips.
Won't be eating at KFC again, which is fine as I don't regularly eat there.

The only time I've liked them from KFC was last Christmas when they had a limited edition with some kind of spice on. Similar to those from Nandos that have been mentioned.
Only problem with them are the ones at the bottom have none of the flavour on. So you end up leaving them.

Crispy Strips were amazing and I don't know why they had to die.
My good sir, nobody bites into a kettle chip and comments on its crispiness, they mention the satisfying crunch.
The one near me has had these chips for ages, guess they must have been a trial store or something. They're ok, taste a bit bland though
Okay. I'll never get the appeal, but that's okay.
Warm and even room temperature beer can be hard to drink for me. It hurts my stomach more, and can lead to me feeling sick from the temperature. I like beer really cold and prefer that taste.

When did they change from soggy to fat chips? Only started going in the mid nineties myself. When I was a sprog I was always put off by the fact the chicken had bones(I was stupid), so I never asked to go.
Then in the mid nineties we were visiting family and they wanted to go to KFC, so when we were there I searched for something boneless and found the incredible crispy strips, and at some point decided to try original recipe chicken
They died so that we might have mini fillets everywhere. The superior choice.
Yep! Got these last night, I had no idea they changed them. Much better than their absolutely awful 'french fries' bollocks.
I think those are the same ones in Canada. Their previous iteration were awful
for the love of god, why won't they bring it back???
i add at least one flamin' wrap to every kfc order just for that sauce
Dude, fried shrimp and beer sounds awesomeno it's a low-effort breaded and deep frieded version
like this:
tastes nice enough and even people who can't cook can make it which is probably why it used to be so popular for pubs

Delicious crisps...
not viewable, I suspect whoever hosts that site is not gdpr compliant
It is. About 10 years ago pubs started branching out and doing more food then that, probably as booze sales fell.
but chips remain
The crunchy thins are called Slivers, and the other things are called potato soldiers

For me
-wedges are used for large wedge shaped chips with the skin still on
-french fries are used for the type of super thin chips like mcdonalds serve. interchangeably called fries or chips, but if someone says they're cooking fries this is the only thing expected
-everything else = chips - for other stuff we have the names (steak fries = steak cut chips on the packet if you buy them, or more generally if called are chunky/oven chips) but I rarely ever hear someone use them. only see them on menus in restaurants
Chips, wedges, french fries, chunky chips, curly fries, crinkle-cut chips and more are all used here for different types of chips.

But i'm italian, we don't have so many burger franchise like the americans.
ITT Americans try telling the English people how to English. You guys don't even like vowels, so how are we s'posed to take you seriously?

Last time I thought about KFC was when they ran out of chicken or something. Was that recent? I haven't had a KFC or a Burger King or a McDonalds in a very very long time. There is a KFC not 3 mins walking distance up my road too. Right on/by a big roundabout if any Americans want to really get annoyed with UK words.

a few months ago when KFC cheaped out and got DHL to deliver their food.
That was it. Thank you. I assume they've got their act together since. Though delivery companies in the UK are not great anywhere if me waiting for shit all day and it not coming is any indication and I am sure it is. Still, hope you enjoyed your chips :D

I did. :) KFC used to use a specialist company that had zero problems but tried to cheap out and went with the lowest bidder. They ended up having to bring back the specialist company for some of their stores when DHL went so badly.
Ate KFC for the first time in a couple years last week.
Your description is EXACTLY what the chips were like.
Soggy and chewy.
Disgust.
Fuck yes they were great, bring them back already!
And the BBQ bites while you're at it.
Was your whole point of posting just to complain at how we have different dialect? Seriously? Grow up.
