Chip butties = God, only more moral.

Crisp-wise, i like doritos, that's pretty much it.

Doritos for me. or Pringles. Nacho cheese Fritos are good too. i'm typically not too picky about the type of chip as long as they aren't plain. if they're plain, they need dip.

When I started running a lot I had to give up chips. They're just too fatty for my stomach now. If you ever want serious stomach displeasure, eat a lot of chips right before or right after a run.

Crisps wise i prefer Walkers and Seabrooks, with some McCoys on the side and maybe a few quavers for variety.

Doritos are my fav but a bit expensive.
Then these "cheese curls" are also very nice, and filling too.

Mind you, crisp butties'll do when there's no chippies around to provide chips.

Chips and humous in a pitta are also good.

The chip I prefer is Sun Chips, any flavor. All of them are great.

that´s because british chips are different from real french fries. in my experience brits tend to make the potato strips way too thick, turning them into big soggy, disgusting potatoe chunks with the consistancy of broccoli after boiling it for one hour. instead of salt they usually put on a piece of half rotten industry fish that tastes entirely like compressed sawdust which has been lying in seawater and call it a meal.

*runs*

Heh. Like this, you mean?:

ah, thank god for fish and chip shops. 'Real French Fries' - bah, Ours are the real thing, the Frenchies mighjt be credited with it in some way or another, but you can't beat a good old bag of English Chips.

Regular Lay's potato chips, perhaps the BBQ or salt and vinegar flavors. Tortilla chips are pretty good too.

another one i forgot to mentoin. Tom's tato skins. especially the cheddar flavored ones. i was practically addicted to those for awhile a few years back. those things are like crack in terms of how good and addictive they are. i just wish i could find them in bigger bags that weren't in vending machines.

Damn straight! French Fries (have people stopped the "Freedom" thing now?) are good in their own way but with stuff like fish, scampi, steaks and various others you just can't beat freshly home made chips!

I like regular and cool Ranch Doritos, just about any sort of regular potato chip, and cheez doodles. There's just something about processed corn and artificial cheese I just can't resist!

Like chips, don't eat much of them though, Pringles aren't chips, a more correct description would be shit, or potato imitation powder with water and some "I can't believe it's not real spices" added.

No you probably can't, I bet the fish(god I hate fish, tastes and smells like fuck, except tuna, but thats probably because of all the dolphin) smell knocks you out from several meters away.

LOL, fried cod in batter really doesn't have much scent to it. Tastes like cardboard too. I'm a fan of chips, not fish. Bah.

I most often eat Walkers, Ready Salted and Cheese and Onion.

You know, I've been seeing more and more potato chips in the US labled as crisps. Pringles and the rip-off version by lays are both labled as crisps and I think I've seen a few bags that were calling their products potato crisps.

I think Pringles went through some law suit years ago and that's why they had to change but I'm pretty sure that I've seen the crisp description on a few things that don't appear to meet whatever criteria it was that made Pringles switch from chips to crisps.

Upon doing a little Google search. I think the bags of crisps I've seen in my local super market are actually a British brand, Walkers?

Bah, I don't eat fish. You shouldn't anyway, cod's endangered.

If you want something with your chips, have humous. Or possibly a spring roll.
I seem to remember deep-fried sausages were nice, as well.

Tsyroc: yeah, Walkers'll be the biggest crisp makers, sinee taking over Smiths.

Only thing that goes well with chips, or rather french fries is ketchup with a shitload of pepper mixed in, anything else I think is sort of separate from the chips/fries themselves.

Though when I was in germany they had this delicious wiener schnitzel with french fries and a mushroom sauce at this motel I stayed for the night, never ever liked mushrooms before, but that was good.

Herr's Smokey BBQ is my favorite brand to eat. Nothing else can match it for me.~Jason
