I was underwhelmed by them but because I'm English I prefer chips from a good old fish and chips shop.
Sorry Pi, I have to agree with him  :P
Yeah all fries are inferior but Five Guys fries are the best I've had. Miles better than the standard KFC/ Maccies style that's for sure. Still, nothing compared to some good chips.

What do you put on your chip shop chips? My sister loves curry sauce, I love gravy or just use ketchup.

I'm not sure what these are.  
They kind of look like small steak fries.  That's all I can figure...  
That's because you've never smelled freedom.

Yeah this kind is served with steak sometimes, but its the most common form of potato served in british pubs/ restaurants. You get a burger at any non-fast food place in the UK, those come with it. Almost guaranteed. Same goes for lots of other dishes too. Like meat pies, battered fish, grilled chicken etc.

Your freedom is a lie. True freedom would involve meat pies and pasties.

Usually just salt and vinegar. If I get a bettered fish I smother that shame with salt and vinegar to.

Yeah I don't like vinegar so I don't do this  :P

Also I'm avoiding salt now too. Which is why I normally go gravy. Also I'm northern, so I need to make sure my blood gravy content stays above 90%.

Looks like the only freedom you have is to butcher our language   ::)

Gravy contains a lot of salt, ask Dr Pez. But gravy is a good choice to have with chips. In fact gravy goes with a lot of things, I just had it with toad in the hole and mash.

Crisps: chips



Chips: Steak fries



Fries: French fries




I also find the english use of "sharp" weird.

That's just what we call them.   Doesn't really have anything to do with them being served with steak.  Anymore than French Fries has to do with being served with French.  

French fries are more common here.  

Culvers has Crinkle Cut fries, those are good.  
I'd say in terms of common-ness:
French fries > Crinkle cut fries > steak fries

"Crisps" is weird.

Wait people actually think Chipotle is better than Qdoba!  Chipotle is garbage tier compared to Qdoba!

I really liked Culver's though.  
Bruh! Culvers is so good!

Bruh! Culvers is so good!
I like Culver's better than a lot of actual restaurants.  
Good burgers.  Amazing shakes.  Amazing cheese curds.

See y'all just causing yourself pain by having to say extra words like steak and french

Chips > curly fries > fries > crinkle (ew)

Pft.  
At least it isn't as demeaning as saying "crisps" .

What do you call peppers, spicies?  
/S

I kid.  But I do feel weird about the word crisps.  

Also, you have clearly never had a good crinkle cut.

Yeah crisps is a weird word. It always sounds wrong when you think about saying it.

I probably haven't. Nowhere you can eat out at does them here, so the only time I've had them is from frozen in the oven at home and they're pretty shame.

Nothing like some transatlantic disagreements to spice up a topic lol.

And you never will.
Because when you come to visit me, we'll have cheese curds instead .

If you ever come to England, go to beefy boys because their burgers are amazing. Their bacon cheese fries are also out of this world.
