we do not eat them here as potatos do not feature unless it's a rare trip to the chippy.
But I am sure chips are fine in moderation!!!
I just do not like them myself

Averages about once a week (DH and I only, as we eat late when DS is in bed) and they are from the chippie.

Lurve chips - know they are BAD for you - don't care

Maybe once a month at home. If we are out, we generally always have something and chips, but at home its salad or jacket potato.

Almost never. Although have a bag in freezer for DSs to have with their fish fingers perhaps once a month.

We don't eat them unless it's a treat at the fish shop or at the seaside. I don't cook them at home ever, because I hate the way the house smells of chip fat afterwards.

We tend to just have them from the chip shop as a treat on rare occasions. Have had a bag of frozen oven chips in the freezer for ages but haven't touched them. Don't actually like oven chips all that much. We don't have a deep fat fryer so can't cook them any other way.

I'm just not overly fussed on them. Quite like the sort you get with a really nice pub lunch and occasionally from the chippie, but they have to be good, hate soggy, greasy ones.

Never 'proper' chips, don't have a pan to do them in. Seldom have oven chips as we are on the GI diet. Kids get oven chips once or twice a week

I love all chips, especially home made fried greasy ones, or oven chips with a very generous helping of mayonnaise! Yum!

My kids eat better than I do! I don't feed my kids chips, they don't like them!

We have low fat oven chips a couple of times a week. And very occasionally chip shop chips. I adore chips, especially with ketchup 2yo DD bizarrely doesn't like chips at all!
