Context and qualifying information. All 3 are considered "chips" like a baguette, a hot dog bun and a regular sandwich loaf are all "bread"

Nobody asks for steak and chips expecting a packet of potato chips next to a plate with just a steak on it. People usually ask for "A packet of salt and vinegar chips please" they dont just shout "CHIPS!" at someone expecting them to figure shit out. If I were to send a child to the shop I would give specific information. "A Big bag of plain chips" or "A large hot chips"

You're in for a whole experience then if you ever visit Scotland!

Ive been, the country that invented haggis doesnt get to enter in on food discussions.

A Scot went to culinary school and had to be told "boiling" something is just like deep frying but with water before he understood.
