In Britain we call them 'chips'. At any decent fish-and-chip shop you'll get nice, fat chips, not the dodgy McDonald's variety. Though you might think of chips (with mayonnaise, perhaps?) as quintessentially Belgian, here 'fish and chips' are seen as quintessentially British. What's the Flemish for fish and chips, I wonder?

I think chips are thicker than fries, which are the things you get in McDonalds. fries are often called French fries here in Australia. I guess Hercules Poirot would have something to say about that!
May I suggest that you try them with a side a beef gravy and/or melted cheddar cheese.
Also, a mixture of white and sweet potatos for fries is yummy...

Originally posted by ivanhoeIt's not a matter of how thick they are, it's the method used for baking them that defines the Belgian Fries. You have to bake them twice, preferrably in ox fat. Also, don't wash the potatoes after you peeled them, that''ll cause the starch too wash off, which makes your fries nicely golden and crunchy 🙂
French fries are smaller than Belgian fries.
I prefer Belgian fries !!
