BRITISH CHIPS People rarely make homemade chips in Britain. I do not blame them. Just as French fries are widely available in the United States, you can get chips—British thick-cut fried potatoes—just about anywhere in the U.K. Shatteringly crisp with a soft, fluffy interior, British chips are something of a marvel when done right and are especially delicious when you season them liberally with a dash of salt and malt vinegar. The spuds are a staple food at pubs, chip shops, and restaurants, and like fries, they are available frozen at the grocery store. Though they are easily found in the United Kingdom, they are not as common in the U.S., where people generally prefer thinner fries. I am going to diplomatically say that one is not better than the other; they are just different iterations of fried potatoes, a category of food I think we can all get behind. (If you do not like crispy potatoes, who even are you???)
