I agree and would compare it to chips (French Fries) from a chipper in western europe. Grew up on the stuff and a bag of chips was affordable after school, was cheap when in college, and food from a chipper is a relatively cheap and delicious dinner option. I live in the US now and it's funny that I've not come across chips as a standalone meal, except in Irish/UK expat communities.
