>>>if you like your fries then i suggest trying chips, that what we call them. they are thick fries, about 1cm square and of varying lengths, deep fat fried, absolutely fantastic, especially after a few beers.

Do they have chip pans in Canada? You could always peel and chip your own. Must admit we haven't but time was when practically every British home had one. Nowadays people rely on the "oven chip" if doing them from home. Do you have those? e.g. McCaine's. We can get them in chunky, standard, crinkle-cut, or American fries versions.

However, most places here are within spitting distance of a chippy, several within a small driving radius.
