      Will I do? :-) Chips = crisps here. Frites = chips. Everything from McDo's plastic twigs to thin, crispy ones to fatter ones actually made from potato. If ever you find Mona Lisa potatoes over there...snap them up!

              Not in the south-west. We can't afford the extra ink. If we could, it would be pommes de terre frites;-)

                  A super all round potato, pete. Large, lovely flavour, not watery or particularly floury.
