    Errr… I’m from the UK and they’re fries. These are chips If it’s think it’s fries, if it’s thick it’s a chip.

      I’m American, and I’d call those steak fries. We also have potato wedges, which aren’t called fries for some reason and look like this

      They’re seasoned with a spice blend, and delicious. Do you have curly fries in the UK? They’re a similar flavor.

          Ugh, “pop”. Your comment has mad Midwest vibes; you sound like my grandma.

          Wtf is hotdish? I’ve never even heard of that before. Even my phone is telling me that that’s not a real word.

          Honestly, the Midwest is something else. It’s like they intentionally do everything their own fucked up way just because.

          “Reece’s Pieces? We’re gonna call them ‘Reecie’s Piecies’, even though the name isn’t ever pronounced ‘Reecie’ and the word is not ever pronounced ‘piecie’, because fuck you.”

          You guys yell at anyone putting ketchup on a hotdog because it’s too sweet, and then proceed to absolutely drown it in sweet relish, the most foul condiment known to man. You guys have no right to consider yourselves the hotdog aficionados after that and only a fool would believe you.

            According to wikipedia

            A hotdish is a casserole dish that typically contains a starch, a meat, and a canned or frozen vegetable mixed with canned soup that must be served hot or warm.

            So it’s just a casserole. Sounds yummy

              Honestly I’m so onboard with hotdish. “Casserole” is one of the least appetizing names for a type of food.

            Never had a hotdish? You should try my tatortot hotdish. You’ll get it then.

            As someone who says reecie’s piecies, honestly it’s just a fun way to say lmao. I’ve just gotten irony poisoned into always saying it.

            How dare you insult relish, it’s an essential part of every hotdog (pls don’t tell my Chicago friends). Honestly I’d much rather have dill relish, but it’s harder to find

          They’re only JoJo’s when they have the skin on them still. Otherwise they’re just thick cut fries.

          It’s soda, though, not pop. No idea what a hotdish even is, a casserole?

          Native midwestern here, but I have no shame. I think ranch sucks, too
