of all those cheese is better i think, but i have to go with 'other' since tuna dip is much better.
( can of tuna, mayonaise and squeezed lime )

Hmmm, I just thought of something ... are we even talking about the same thing? As I recall, the chips in the Europeans' "fish and chips" are what North Americans call french fries. Here's a couple of pics to illustrate:


Chips


French Fries

So are we confusing each other, or no?

Well I guess we're a step ahead of you now. First of all Europeans probably don't say french fries at all since we don't speak english (as a first language), only the british do. So maybe the british say chips when they mean french fries, allright. Secondly, I think even the british are aware of you meaning chips when you say chips, so there is no misunderstanding. I hope noone puts french fries into dip . And additionally, chips are exactly "chips" in swedish and probably something similar in german, dutch, danish, norwegian too except we pronounce it "ships" in sweden.

PS. the british probably say crisps or something stupid and totally illogical like that

Yup, in Holland we say 'Chips' to chips, where the British say 'Chips' to fries and 'Crisps' to chips.

same in France. "french fries" = "frites" in French if you want to know

Heh he, this topic made me laugh a little.

British - American
crisps - chips
chips - french fries



Back to the topic in hand. I prefer salsa on my crisps out of all those options.

I eat my chip without any dips unless these are like scoops or Tostitos that I eat with salsa.Sometime I put chicken on them then put cheese put the whole in the oven and when the cheese is ready then put salsa on it (so that the chips aren't all yeurk!). Taste really good.

Anyway to answer to your poll I'll vote Salsa

So there's no confusion: UHD=British.

I don't dip crisps.

PS. Does crisps mean anything at all in American English?

I think it might be a weird way of saying burnt around the edges on some kind of food. Not sure though, never had anything have "crisps"
