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.
