Given that 'pommes frites' translates as apple fries when seperated I think chips is a more meaningful word (as the chips are chipped from the whole potato) As for crisps, well normal crisps are kind of chipped from the potato so chips works, though I would descibe them as slices... however they are called crisps because they are crisp, as in crunchy. And I have never heard anyone call crisps 'crispies'. |
It's pommes (de terre) frites actually, meaning potato fries.
