A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Just to check - we're talking US chips (UK crisps), yeah?
Yeah. Just the redundancy of making a potato chip and calling it potato-skin-with-bacon-and-cheddar flavored inclines me to make fishy eyes. It's a bacon&cheddar flavored potato chip!
What's buttered jacket potato??

Baked potato with butter.

Yep. Which should be equally "Look, whaddaya mean it's potato flavoured? Of COURSE it's potato flavoured! It's a crisp!"... only somehow it really did taste like a jacket potato, rather than a potato crisp. Spooky.

Fay, I eat bread. I bake. I do pasta and things with couscous and lentils.
Tonight's dinner for writing group: homemade shepherd's pie with spcied ground lamb and a field's worth of potatoes, riced and buttered and baked.
Caaaaaaarbs!

Huh. Learn something new, which makes Fay's chips/crisps as ridiculous as mine (didn't know jacket= baked so I was wondering if it was style of cooking or if a jacket potato was different from a potato or what.)

Jacket potato means that it's "baked in its jacket"--ie unpeeled.

Yup: basic baked potato.
And a damfine yummy thing to eat that is, too.
Although I haven't tried the crisps.

wrod. It's a seemly, modest potato, as distinct from y'all's bare nekkid shameless no better than they should be ass-flauntin' potatoes.
