As somebody in the UK I'd have to agree french-fried and chips are different things. One is reconstituted potatoe's into small thin like eddibles of a uniform small size and chips are cut potatoes into chunkier like bits.

http://www.okeiweb.com/experience/images/stories/Image/pictu... is as good as any picture of a chip and as you can see it is nothing like a french fry.

Where I live, the fried potato-variant in the image is the same thing as fries - we don't distinguish between our variants. We might go as far as calling them thick fries, but that's about it.

> reconstituted potatoe

I've never seen a deep fried reconstituted potato called a french fry. The closest thing I can think of do that is a tater tot.
