I've been in a German hospital for a few weeks. For every meal we get to pick from three options. My hospital roomie picked "fish and chips".
Lo and behold:
Neil@valcurious as others have said, paprika flavoured crisps are the default flavour in Germany.
*German* --- *English*
Chips --- Crisps
Pommes --- French fries
Steakhousepommes (or similar) --- Chips, but with salt and paprika seasoning
Kartoffelecken --- Potato wedges
And somebody in the catering department of the hospital was having a laugh or being creatively mischievous. 😃
