They call them crisps....

There are lots of foods with two names, one for us & one for them....

Biscuits are another one (cookies there), & minced meat (hamburger here)....

Crisps. What we call a "cookie" is a "biscuit". And a bread-roll is a "Bap". Sausages are "bangers" except red-hots which are "saveloys".

And if a Brit suggests you knock-up his sister, for goodness sake find out what it means over there first. Ring her on the hooter.

My proper English wife says "crisps."

Interestingly, French Fries were invented in Belgium, not in France. In both France and Belgium they are called "Pommes Frites," pronounced Pum Freet.
