[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1038463, member: 40658"] We call it chips here, yes. And here I blame the global economy, and our exports of potatoes. We grow a lot of potatoes, especially here in my valley, there's potato farms everywhere. But we get the poor quality of potatoes, or the rejected ones, while the big nice ones, are all exported. As for the flavour of the chips. I think our fast food chains' chips are the most tasteless thing you can get. When I was in the hotel industry, we learnt that all the fast food chains buys their chips from Mccain's and they are all frozen chips. Mccain's just cut them the right size as the outlet wants it. Steers is the only fast food franchise that cuts their own chips from potatoes at the outlets. If you want good chips, you need to go to the nearest cafe/corner grocery store that's run by a family from portugal/greece. They make the best chips. But since we are on the topic of potatoes, chips isn't the first choice to make of them over here. Mashed Potatoes, Potato Salad, or Baked Potato are the first choice, especially at a braai. [/QUOTE]
