National Chip and Dip day and foolish questions

k, i love chips and dip AND chocolate covered raisins.... :-) yum.

We have fish and chips (fries) but if we speak of chips we sometimes mean 'crisps' - but not always. I guess the context tells us which we're talking about but it is confusing.

Ehm... I am no expert of "national days" here in my country but I'm pretty sure we don't have (m)any of those silly days for anything and everything under the sun. Who makes those days? Politicians? Are they actually, like, legislated into law or something? And about the other question... am not British either but apparently, they call your potato chips (as in the thinly sliced ones in bags) as crisps, and yes, your fries, they call chips. I like the idea of fish and chips because I love fish as much as I love potatoes. But I don't think I've seen any locally since we follow the American style more than British here.

Funny about this.When I go to a sea food place and sometime order fish and chips.We called this here. Fish and Chip.I am from New Hampshire.We are pretty hipped on things.LOL

I've had fish and chips in the U.K., which are french fries. When we bought a bag of potato chips there, they were called potato crisps. The only ones we liked and tasted like ours were made by Lays. The others were strange tasting and not to our liking.

There are even different ways of saying things in different parts of the United States. For example in New York they say something that we said differently in Minneapolis while I was growing up. Cannot remember what it is. I never heard of National Days for things when I was growing up.

I live in England. Fat chips are called chips and thin chips are called French fries. In Belgium they eat chips with mayonnaise. In the UK some people like me have vinegar on their chips. Packaged chips that are cold in the UK are called crisps. I like ready salted and salt with vinegar one. Some people have an air fryer to cook more healthy chips in the UK.

Where do people come up with these days? Some are rather comical.

No, we do not have all those National Day, for what I know we have almost none except official celebrations. In the UK what we call potato chips are called potato crisps.

I think they call potato chips....crisps

I heard after the fact that last week there was National Puppy day. I felt bad that I had goofed up on that one.

It does seem like we have an abundance of national "this-or-that" days here in the US. I wonder it there's a National Diaper Day for those people who have to wear, as my mother called them when she told me she had to wear one, those damn diapers.

I don't like raisins But had chocolate covered cranberries today.

In india we refer them "chips" no other word

Can't answer most of those questions, but will be looking for a chip or two in a minute!

think our chips are their crisps, and their chips are our french fries or something like that!

@JamesHxstatic - Brother James - I suppose we might think of this subject of "chips" and the like to be among the more dippy of subjects. -Gus-

Good thing I missed national chip and dip day. Chips are my downfall. We call them potato chips in Canada too, but at the restaurant we also say chips for French fries.] We were quite dismayed to get potato chips with our burger in the US when we ordered burgers with chips. Would that still happen if I did it now? That was a long time ago when I was a child.

I think they call them crisps.

Oh that guac and onion salsa looks good!
