    What do yanks call thick cut chips? It seems “burger and fries” is burned into their national psyche (leading to memes such as these) but surely they have a word for the non shoestring fry version. Wedges? 🤔

    Anyway, the Brits have probably got it right on this occasion, but context definitely helps with the dual usage in Aus. I’m not going to have fish and chips with crisps, and a packet of chips isn’t going to be of the hot variety.
