To think my OH is just wrong and that's it? (Lighthearted)

[lbsjob87]

OK, here's a question. If you go to the local chippy, what do you get your chips in?
It's a BAG isn't it? A bag of chips is a thing. But my OH insists on calling it "a packet of chips".
I have told him countless times, chips come in a bag, crisps are in a packet (although with crisps it's interchangeable).
I'm right, here, aren't I?

Also, he calls his work lunchbox a dinner box, even though he eats lunch from it at lunchtime.

I realise this isn't the most pressing issue I could face, and there are far bigger ones in our lives, but I wanted a straw poll to see who agrees with me?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you... the Nosh Box.
(Yes really). Chips, an accompaniment and a side.

Only in Teesside can you find such a delicacy, along with a nice fresh fadge from the bakers to make a butty with.

Well it's a chip cob anyway.

My DP insists on calling chorizo, co-rye-zo.... In public

For those who were asking, a barm - or to give it its full name - 'barm cake' is a large, flattish, soft, round white bread roll. Bigger than a burger bun and perfectly suited to holding a sizeable amount of chips.

It is similar to an 'oven bottom muffin' but does not have the oven scorched marks as it is not cooked on the oven bottom.

CatsClaus fancy piece

Wasn't there a make of crisps in Spain called Bum?
The worst, most horrible disgusting and revolting (and other words I can't think of) snack in the world is McDonalds French blooming Fries. They're like iron-hard hot matchsticks and about as nourishing.

Wowfudge is spot on. Now please excuse me while I go & have a bacon, mushroom & mayo oven bottom.

Cobs are crusty rolls. Unless it's long, in which case it's a Vienna. Not a baguette - thicker than that.

West coast Scotland is a poke of chips
East Coast is a bag.
Although my local its a box!

Have we covered munchie boxes yet? Pakora, chips, onion rings, donner meat....

Chips come in a portion or bag

Lunch box

Dinner is the evening meal

Cordial mixed with water is Squash

Can of coke/tin of beans

Bread roll is a batch.

Oooh munchie box. So cheap and greasy! Totally want that for dinner now.

Tin of juice
Poke of chips, poke as in paper poke = paper bag

Portion of chips (my father said bag but they laughed when I ordered this on holiday as a child, '3 bag o'chips please' repeated verbatim.

Packed lunch box (pack-up box when I was a child).

Midday dinner only if main meal, otherwise it is lunch

Tea, only if 'high tea'. Granny always had dinner midday and then a high tea a 4.00 pm. Dinner in evening, only if it is the main meal.

I'm East Midlands.

Generally it's a bag or sometimes portion, but can often be just large or small chips, no bag, portion, etc.

We have chip butties, not barms, and to order the chips with something else it'd be "fish n chips", "pie n chips", etc, we do tend to spell it out round here.

Must say, though, the best chips I can recall having were on the Isle of Wight

Oh, and it's normally lunch box, or lunch bag depending on the container.

Just to make things more confusing - a chip butty is made with sliced bread. A chip barm is on a barmcake.

With lots of vinegar

Nope, a cob is any bread done in a separate roll with a filling. Nottingham.

I'm in Scotland

it's a poke of chips or if you're feeling flush it's a big poke of chips

a tin of bru (can of irn bru)

breakfast, lunch and dinner - supper on occasion

a cone from the van is known as a 99 from the icey and it's a pack o' ciggies

I say bag of chips. DH says packet. Lunch box is a lunch box .
