What are potato chips called in England if french fries are called chips?
They're called Crisps. I agree i went to France and the chips were called crips because my brother went France on school trip and he asked for crisps and they have him chips! +++ There's also a slight difference in that British potato-chips are cut thicker than French Fries, and their surfaces are not fried to crispness so the inner should be tender but still firm. The version sold by MacDonalds, in the UK at least, is very thin and crispy to hard. For some perverse reason at least one UK-based crisp manufacturer has been labelling its packets sold in the UK "Potato Chips" (in the US sense) for a few years.

How would you separate salt from crisps?
Salt dissolved in vinegar creates a mild solution of hydrochloric acid, the same acid our stomachs produce to help us digest food. However, the vinegar (acetic acid) is applied to the chips in a crystalline, powdered form -- so the salt and vinegar do not combine there. Only after contacting liquid (such as saliva) can the compounds combine. Therefore, technically, the only acid that is on salt and vinegar crisps, or chips, is the crystalline form of vinegar. Still, in crystalline form, the acetic acid is very potent. Eating a large number of chips without drinking something or wiping one's mouth can be damaging to the mouth and lips. Otherwise, they are quite harmless and tasty.
