That's far from the source.
In the south of Sweden you may buy fried speck (danish thing), as a kind a snack. The real thing.

Think it's known as 'pork scratchings' in the English speaking world.

Horrible, horrible stuff

I think MackieD et al call them fries all over the world... but in all other places in England and Oz, I'm quite sure they're chips ("fish and chips", etc.).

To further add to the confuzzlement, Brits call Yank chips crisps, where as the Aussies have hot chips and cold chips. But then Aussies are weird, they wear thongs on the their feet..! :)

I'd say chips are the flat slices while french fries (which are acutally belgian fries, ask hoffmann2k if you don't believe me) are little bars.
Oh my god, I'm still eating my morning bread and butter and already speaking about junk food....

The flat slices are 'crisps' in proper English. Colonial dialects vary.
