About a foot long, 30 cm. They are a type of "crisp", sliced potato or as the
Yanks term them "Chips". They call "chips "Fries". I think that the
Australians use the same "English" terminology for these items of food as we
do?
Funny that, many know that a "Pringle" is a crisp, and yet no-one would know
what a "Tudor", or a "Smiths", or even those "football crisps", "Walkers"
were. My sone njoys Pringles but I do not think that I have eaten one. The
best ones were the old Smiths crisps but they have long gone. The local
factory which made them is now a mouthful to say, a "Plumber's Engineer's Tool
Merchants"! I preferred it when they made those deep brown and crispy hard
crisps myself. Nothing like it since then except perhaps for "Kettles" which
are superb but VERY expensive.
