Gidget Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 They are still the same thing when served with hamburgers context. Fries is the American terminology, often adapted by UK food retailers. Wedges should be described as wedges. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23201-best-burger-in-the-area/page/5/#findComment-541495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxi Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 SJ's right - they offer the thin spindly fries option or the big fat proper chip onehttp://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRD3r5cT7zgyKiG7o09BGcjw2CAdS5Alcd1Hu84kW_-Rs8ZJJY6Fries....Chips...http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQNbcKCTTgoJ4IxebJ7iOdyR0gzR6MhJvbcJRK5N8wysQ0gDSB7The choice is yours (and that is how it should be ;-)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23201-best-burger-in-the-area/page/5/#findComment-541497 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gidget Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 And what does MeatLiquor have to say about that? Fries in the US are of varying sizes. So it depends on how Yankee like you want to be?

Modern "no booking" ideas may be good for the buzz, informality and impetuous types but they're a real pain when you want to plan an evening Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23201-best-burger-in-the-area/page/5/#findComment-541529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The holy grail of hamburgers appears to be those sampled in the US. That is what I mean by Yankee like. Burger and fries. It's semantics. Over here fries are usually called chips unless you want to show how transatlantic you are. They are the same thing but can be different shapes.

I think a 'fruit crisp' in the US is similar to a 'fruit crumble' in the UK.Crumble in the US appears to mean the same as crumb in the UK, and there the chain ends ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23201-best-burger-in-the-area/page/5/#findComment-541547 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all the same price: lobster n chips, lobster roll n chips, burger n chips - ?20. Can't imagine why anyone would have the burger really. Suppose it keeps the allergics happy.

And then there is also a slump and a grunt.You would need to ask for an apple crisp or whatever fruit for someone to understand you. A crumb cake has a crumble like topping on it.

Jeremy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 RosieH/Otta - yeah, I don't understand why anyone would go for the burger either. They did look good coming out, but not that good!Marmora Man - we arrived at 12:10 on a Friday lunchtime, and had a 45 min wait. I hear that early dinner (i.e. 5:30pm) is a good time to go.

So much so that I think this will be the next restaurant trend..... Menus with 2 or 3 choices on them! Mark Hix will be serving chicken and steak only from one of his places!
