Food
A LiveCode programmer cannot die from hunger even if their fridge is empty.
They can survive on all the food hiding between the keys of their keyboard for at least a week.

What is a programmer?

Re: Food
That explains why I not really a programmer: I never, ever eat fast food.
Stick to what my wife and I cook at home.

Re: Food
My wife cooks very good potato chips (not crisps), and I sometimes cook chips made from sweet potato, carrots and turnips.
I always cook chips in ghee as the taste is fantastic.

Re: Food
Huh, I always thought the european version of chips were the fatter flatter fried (or baked) potatoes, like these -
Your image (fries), I'd never have come up with 'chips', since they don't resemble any other chip I ever saw. Sticks maybe, but chips? Never would have gotten there heh.
Other things I don't get would include spanner, lorry, the list is nearly endless

Re: Food
What a strange world it would be if we all agreed on decimal points, paper sizes, pints and gallons (litres don't have an alternative measure afaik), dd/mm and mm/dd date ordering, and... pretty much EVERYTHING. (Not even getting as far as languages and writing systems themselves - in any event, there's enough variance just in English to boggle the brain.)
But Richmond's chips are definitely chips.

Re: Food
...and the one thing that almost all of those have in common is that they are all (usually) semi-flattened and spread out...
You Europeans better get on the ball over there, and start naming your stuff after something it may resemble

Re: Food
Thick chips are usually disambiguated using the terms 'chip shop' or 'chippy', as they tend to be what you get in Fish & Chips establishments. Sometimes thin chips are called fries, but generally if you see the word chips on a menu you probably have to ask how thick they're going to be.
