Carl Rollyson Quote

Before dinner we had our usual round of Scotch, chips, and olives. [MF] I think it’s better with the olives, don’t you? [CR] Good contrast with the chips—crisps, Americans call them chips; the British call them crisps. You can’t call them chips. What you call chips Americans call French fries. [MF] Yes. So if you ask for either of those in your bloody country, you’ll get the wrong thing. [CR] Yes. So be careful next time you come. [MF] Hm.
