We have fish and chip shops in the US.... No human American would ever say "a French fry restaurant".

Do they do scraps, curry sauce, or mushy peas though?
What's scraps precious?
It's the little bits of batter that float up to the surface when battered items get dumped into the friers.
Not all places in the UK do them which is strange because it's essentially a waste product.
A tasty wasty
A tasty wasty
This is exactly the kind of product nicknaming I would expect out of Britain
Nothing precious, what's scraps with you?
Little crunchy bits of cooked batter, sometimes sprinkled on as an extra. Normally given away free.
It is (or at least used to be) the excess batter that dripped off the fish as it was cooking.
Long John Silvers does that, though they are pretty rare these days. Never really thought about it, but that's as close to an English chip shop as we get.
BA-TTER BITS.
Boil em. Mash em. Stick em in a stew.
I'm afraid not.
No, we have standards.
The only standard yous have ever had ended in 1971
That is very kind. But these idiots elected Richard Nixon in 1968.
So people want to eat mushy peas?
Mushy peas they taste great
Mushy peas, on my plate
Have them with fish, battered and cooked
Just one mouthful - now I'm hooked
Shit ones it sounds like
No corn syrup, I get it
So Real American Politician Ted Cruz?
We have poutineries in Canada that basically are just french fry restaurants and nothing else. New York Fries comes to mind.
Is he talking about a chippy? Should be called Portuguese fry restaurant then.
Gotta be a chippy or a Dairy
We didnโt send our best.
About time your best got off their arses and did something.

Hey, friterie exists in French XD
Uuh I'll have a large fry with, uh, extra fries. Oh, and make it a Superfry Deal, so i get an extra medium fry.
Joke country
Uh... we have friteries in France. What's the problem there? I don't get it.
Brits, I will not be taking shit for this. We both know that both of us would absolutely go to a French Fry shop.
Are they referencing McDonald's?
This has the same energy as the time a sub-editor changed โrugby hookerโ to the more US-friendly โrugby prostituteโ, preserving the meaning perfectly.
