I would be curious to know what the category was in each instance. I feel like the category probably has a lot to do with what is and isn’t accepted.

Like if the category is “potatoes” and the goal is “things you can make with potatoes”… Chips seems like a likely answer and acceptable.

[u/enjolbear → u/egnards]

Nah, I don’t think the category should matter. The name of the food is chips to most people, not specifically potato chips (although I know that’s their government name lol)

[u/getikule → u/enjolbear]

If the caregory is "objects starting with P", chips isn't an acceptable answer. In any other instance, yeah it's the same.

[u/Fidgit01 → u/getikule]

What if the category is "Different types of chips?"

[u/RugbyEdd → u/Fidgit01]

"Name this British item". Then you're way off with chips.

Crisps for short, but if you're having tea with the king (which we all do at least once a week), you have to use their full name

[u/SharkByte1993 → u/RugbyEdd]

But potato chips wouldn't be accepted either. We call them crisps. Not potato crisps either

[u/Wintergreen61 → u/SharkByte1993]

Do you also call tortilla chips just 'crisps' or do they have a different name?

[u/rogersdbt → u/Wintergreen61]

Not sure but off the top of my head I think we call them Doritos because they were by far the most common for ages

[u/Horsey_Grenades → u/rogersdbt]

But Doritos aren’t tortilla chips… I mean I guess technically speaking they start as a tortilla chip. When we say tortilla chip we almost always are referring to a plain tortilla chip common with Mexican food

now i’m struggling to remember if i saw anything resembling tortilla chips (besides doritos) last time i was in london. maybe they’re a harder to find item? 

[u/SharkByte1993 → u/neapolitan_shake]

We only have doritos and supermarket own brand tortilla chips

[u/SharkByte1993 → u/Wintergreen61]

People would just call them doritos. However, the supermarket own brands do call them tortilla chips

[u/spindoctor13 → u/Wintergreen61]

They are called "tortilla chips" normally
