'''French fries''' are a food made from [[potato]]es that have been cut into less-than-quarter-inch, stringy length-wise slices and deep-fat fried (twice in some recipes). They are very popular in [[America]], where some add ketchup to them, and [[Belgium]] and [[France]], where they are called ''frites'' and eaten with [[mayonnaise]]. In the [[United Kingdom]] they are referred to as 'chips', generally thicker than the American and European fries, and eaten with traditionally with [[salt]] or malt [[vinegar]] although gravy and curry sauce are more recent, and popular, accompaniments. Chips became a popular part of the British diet in the Victorian era when poor slum-dwellers in London often did not have the means to cook food at home. Chips were a cheap way of obtaining hot, filling food.
