They have something called New York Fries here - in fact there's a
chain that sells only that and that's it's name. They are thinnish
fries covered in cheese and poutine, which is a sort of gravy, thick
and oniony. Carbs plus fat plus more carbs. You see kids eating them
in the malls, washed down by enormous (two pint?) tumblers of coke
with sugar -- or blizzards, which are ice-cream milkshakes with lots
of different flavours and fillings. And then everyone wonders why
there's an obesity problem. :-)
One thing I do miss about England is battered cod and chips with a
pickled onion. Hmmm........

Sarah-as far as I understand, chips are not French Fries. French
Fries are like McDonalds chips. The Americans term what we call
chips as 'home fries'.
What we call chips, is real potatatoes peeld and cut by hand,
failrly thick in comaprison with FF, and then fried.
