@georgetakei That dish would go great with some tea from the micro wave

@georgetakei
I thought 'chips' was American for crisps, not tortilla. Oh well. Do Americans also call Wotsits 'chips'? Where do they draw the line. What about Pringles? What about crispy pancakes? What about crispy pancakes made from potato flour?

@spacemagick @georgetakei @jttracey1 since you asked...

Americans do at times use "chips" as a generic term to encompass more than merely potato products. In that context, corn chips are part of the category, as would Pringles be. Puffed items like Wotsits (Cheetos in the US) would not be in this category, as they aren't flat.

@georgetakei garden peas. No gravy.

If that's trout, then parsley & butter, on new potatoes, lemon & butter on the grilled fish, maybe some broccoli.

@georgetakei well, that looks like trout. And fresh trout is delicious enough for me not really caring that the accompanying stuff is nacho chips.

@georgetakei My Nordic ancestors would probably die if they tried cool ranch doritos.
