French Fries became Freedom Fries for awhile there. I can understand why they are not called chips though. They aren't chips even if American chips are crisps. They aren't chips because there 20 ingredients in them and probably 4% potato.

You can also get fried fish, mushy peas, Wallies, saveloys, sausages in batter, pies... I'm feeling a bit peckish.
The Irish call them 'Chippers'.

I think 'chippy' is probably of northern origin, and as I say, 'chipper' is Irish (& Aussie?). I may be wrong, but I think the London term when I was growing up was 'chip shop'.
