This is just light fun. The real battle is what those freaks call jam. Shameful
Interesting, I'll have to check these out. Never been a fan of kfc fries, let's hope the chips are better.
McDs fries are the goat.

If they are on the menu as fries they are fries. In the UK we have all the 3 fast food establishments mentioned so far listing them as fries, hence, they are fries not chips. Chips you get from the local chip shop.
Those look like a mix between Burger King and Wendy's fries. Like typical fast food french fries. I'd like to try them, but can't.
KFC has gone far downhill here, to the point I'm surprised it's still a thing. The restaurant I pass by often looks like it hasn't been looked after since the mid 90s. The building is hideous. I did go there quite often as a kid for toonie Tuesdays, but haven't in years.
We got takeout once with my grandparents, and it was okay, but still really greasy. As always. Their chicken is good when it's not so greasy, but the fries generally aren't that good.
I miss the days when, during my childhood, it was good and something I enjoyed. You'd get the family meal and get a McCain's cake with it. It wasn't terribly greasy.
This is true

True
although I once went there when they had no piri piri spice(!) and without it the chips were average. amazing how much that spice adds to them.
cool ad photo, does the actual product look at all similar
also, KFC potato wedges are the superior KFC tuber offering

Do bars in the UK regularly sell chips to go along with beer, or something? I've been reading a lot of books written by UK authors and based there, and also watching The End of the Fucking World, and there's always people getting chips at bars. I didn't realize they were so popular there.
You never see that type of thing in bars in Canada, or the US. There's pub food, but no chips.

Yep
for a time chips and scampi in a basket was 90% of pub food lol
Wrong. Crunchy is what you call something like a toast. Crispy is when the food breaks apart the moment you bite them...hence they are crisps not chips or crunches :p

Strange. And you drink beer warm...somehow?
I much prefer the wings, fries, burgers, etc. that constitute our pub food...even if it's all disgustingly overpriced
You English think you're so superior.
50 years ago maybe, warm beer's not been a thing here for a while.
uhhh what
this is pub food for you guys?
if so, please direct me to those pubs that serve chips and scampi
Good to hear. Warm beer is disgusting and it always baffled me.
Everyone knows this. We Americans are just being jerks. But we're right though. Them shits are FRIES, bruh.
Interesting OP, where I am, its been like this maybe the last 10-15 years.
Anyone else tried them? Had some at lunch today. I'd say they're not as good as the old chips from 5 years ago, but way better then the godawful french fries we've had since 2013.
now please bring back crispy strips
KFC has never had french fries here, only McD has them of the Big 3.
Burger King, funnily enough does fries the old way KFC did from like 20 years ago.
To top that off, its called chips here too.
Only Mc D is referred to as french fries.
Also, the oils its fried in seems to be different. I think KFC and Burger King use Canola oil, but Mc D french fries are done in palm oil. Not 100% about that though.
Does KFC UK have potato wedges?
Because these would be more like traditional "chips" than the thinner french fries.
I was going to ask this too.
HOLD ON...
Curly Fries...at McDonalds?
uhhh what

The scampi is breaded in pubs typically. Or was.

no it's a low-effort breaded and deep frieded version
like this:
tastes nice enough and even people who can't cook can make it which is probably why it used to be so popular for pubs
I read UK knowing what they call foods and still came in here thinking KFC was going to be serving potato chips(US).
This is UK brah, get outta here with your american nonsensethese are chips
They really do. Sometimes Wendys will leave the skins on them though.
The older chips were the best chips, they'll never achieve that glory again :(
