Chips or Potatoes???

Hahahaha well I am with your Daughter there lol I prefer Potatoes, tell your Boy Chips are bad for him all the time. Not very often I have Chips. You mean Weemam made Rice Pudding and I am having it out of the Tin thats bad lol.

I had to go suck on an Ice lolly i am starving lol , got dinner kooking :) Ross is the same he would have chips with everything if he could ,Ok some times but I don't want him to get " cuddly" like me , your son like Ross has no worries with his weight so I would still give himes chips but not every day , he can have rice pudding though PMSL xx

Ewww did you mention those horrid words, rice pudding! Tell weemam you are welcome to my large portion (rice pudding that is!) I've never eaten it after being served it for school dinners, put me off for life. Sorry, I digress here well I'm siding with your 13 year old son, chips with everything! But they HAVE to be OVEN chips, I can't abide them cooked in the fat fryer or out of the chippy, far too greasy and yukky! I hate those boiled potatoes. Jacket potatoes or chips every time for me!

I like roast potatoes, or baked. Chips are ok occasionally and I'm surprised a five-year-old isn't keen on them. There are lots of ways in which you can dress potatoes, and most of them are quite palatable. I like mashed potato as well if made from real potatoes... I hate the Smash mix, as it has no taste, whatsoever. I like my potatoes when mashed, to have black pepper and butter mashed in with them. These are particularly nice with sausages and veg. Yummy! I like to eat jacket potatoes with curry, prawn and thousand island dressing, chili con carne, or cheese filling. Wow, I like potatoes just about all ways you can come up with. Maybe your little man would like a jacket potato occasionally? Brightest Blessings.

Mummymo, I think your chips are different then here in the states,right? And what is this about rice pudding?I love rice pudding and it's almost lunch time! At my house we love potatoes of any kind,mashed,french fried,baked,scalloped,ohhhhh I'm hungry. Raydene

i love both potatoes and chips. I eat potaoes everyday in my meals and chips especially Lays

I thought chips were potatoes?

Hi, I eat mainly potatoes but I must admit that I do prefer chips over the two of these the reason I prefer chips is that they seem to taste a lot better than just ordinary potatoes, and are you looking for how to make rice pudding.

I think this is a case where you should deside what is healthier for your children. Almost everyone will tell you that chips are their favorite but we all know they are not healthy like potatoes. I think you should stick with the potatoes.

I guess you will have to mix and match. Eating potatoes is far more health then chips so good for your 5 year old. Why not try making potatoes for them both done in different ways.

I'm definitely not much help to you because I like chips.. and I like potatos. If I'm eating a sandwich I'll eat chips.. with a burger its definitely fries.. with roast its potatos too.. so maybe potatos win on this one!

I like potatoes more, though I like chips as well. You can do more with potatoes. Chips arent really all that good for you, and most of them have a lot of salt.

I have 3 kids 2, 7 and 8 and they all like different things my oldest eats chips but not roast potatoes they all eat some chips but not alot my middle son will eat chips but not potatoes I dont mind which I have I love my mums roast potatoes and thick cut chips she makes them from real potatoes not out a bag of chips in the freezer not very healthy but very tasty

Why not giving them both of the things?

My favourite is Chips ,the main reason is that i need something crispy while eating rice and i feel chips is the best ,well sometimes potatoes will aslo do but my perfernce is chips

well potatoes and chips are both the same as they are both made from potatoes but i would prefer them cut up into chips as potatoes are too big

Well now that I figured out what chips are I would have to say compromise. Some days potatos and some chips. I like both and so do my kids so I'm safe on that one.

Children always like different foods at different times, mine always had different tastes in food. The other one is the when one week they like somethng and the next week they can't stand it.

I don't have a fixed idea on this. I sometimes ask for chips, and sometimes ask for potatoes. Here in Singapore, we sometimes get another option - rice. It is not the usual white rice in asian food - in "western meals", this rice would usually be some butter rice with raisins.
