The preference for "chips" over "French fries" in British culture is deeply ingrained and can be attributed to historical and cultural factors, tradition, and culinary habits.
The term "chips" originated in Britain, where thin slices or strips of potatoes were first deep-fried. This style of fried potato gained popularity in the UK long before the thinner-cut "French fries" became popular elsewhere.
UK chips are often made from floury potatoes, which have a fluffy texture when cooked, while French fries are commonly made from starchy potatoes, which result in a crispier exterior.
They were introduced to the UK by way of Belgium, where they were originally popularised. The story goes that British soldiers stationed in Belgium during World War I tasted fries for the first time and brought the idea back to the UK. However, it wasn't until after World War II that chips became a widespread and popular dish in the UK, with fish and chips shops becoming a common sight across the country. So, while the precise date of the first consumption of chips in the UK is not documented, their popularity grew significantly during the early to mid-20th century.
