I have to say, one of my guilty pleasures is French fries - I love them! Coming from Scotland, we would have fish and "chips" every Saturday evening!

That sounds delicious. But they sound better as American french fries.

True, but it took me quite a while to stop calling them "chips" when I first got here. Over there, you can have fries with everything - even deep fried pizza!

THey are normally soft and crispy and are served in so many places including diners and bars.

It's wonderful that you can get them just about everywhere. I like the thick cut fries, not the McD skinny ones.

I like them all. Most of them are made by peeling them first.

Yeah, I never really understood that - potato skins are very nutritious. Who invented the French fry?

I dont know.  in some places skinny fries are called shoestring fries

Yes, I've seen that. They're called "frites" in Belgium and are served with a mayonnaise type sauce. They're delicious.
