French fries
We had an interesting experience last month en route to Eurodisney. We stopped at a highway restaurant for brunch, ordered our food and then added impulsively: “We’d like some french fries please”. The waitress stared at us for a very brief second and said: “Chips?”.
That was an embarrassing moment—happens to the best of us. Remember to ask for Chips when you want French fries in France.
