Today for lunch, I had tuna mixed with hummus, 3 stuffed grape leaves and some chips that had lots of protein in them. It was a very low carb. meal (37 total carbs.). Very good!

Hi Leah a perfect lunch I love humus I've never had stuffed grape leaves but with chips it all sounds really good and tasty. 😀

What kind of chips?

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Popcorn type of chips made with chickpeas.😀👍

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

Ok, you must not be in the UK, here chips are made from potato.. You had me confused a bit. 😊

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

We have chips also made from potatoes, too.

Yes, I’m in the USA.😀👍

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

Ok 👍

[AnnieW55 in reply to Hidden]

Generally speaking, I think it is

USA chips = UK crisps (and similar snacks)

USA fries = UK chips

[Hidden in reply to AnnieW55]

But are they French fries in USA, in UK we have chips and French fries. French fries are skinny chips.

[AnnieW55 in reply to Hidden]

Try typing French fries into google (other search engines available 😀) and pick the Wikipedia page there’s a whole host of interesting things on that page.

[Hidden in reply to AnnieW55]

Just did that but don't agree with the alternative names, chips and French fries are not the same thing 😀

[Nugger in reply to Activity2004]

What she’s referring to by chips is home fries, large French fries

In the Uk chips as in Pringle’s are called crisps

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Nugger]

They are popcorn made from chickpeas.😀👍

I like stuffed vine leaves which I think are the same as grape leaves. I haven’t had any in a while, something to add to the “for a change” list.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to AnnieW55]

They are good and have 10-15 carbs.-- depending on the amount you eat. For two grape leaves, it's 10 carbs.. For three-- 15 carbs..
