Word of the Day: Chip

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

I’ve never been to England

I would love to go

I’m curious about the chip

And I would like to know

Fish and chips look yummy

I’ve had them here at home

We call the chips fries instead

No matter what the form

It’s like cookies they call biscuits

What the difference is unknown

Muffins, are they English?

The label says it’s so

Why the names are odd

Only dictionaries tell

Regardless, like the lot of them

And on this point I dwell

They’re tasty and delicious all

But have no answers to my quell.

  3. Muffins are not English. They must have brought them all over here, and left none in England. Biscuits over here are more like a plain scone, so I got confused with biscuits and sausage gravy. I wouldn’t want to dunk my English biscuit in sausage gravy. Haha.

    1. I have an English friend who loves to correct me on these terms. We met online when we disagreed about what constituted a muffin.🙄😂
