> Here in Norway we have something called "Chips O'hoi" (a word play on "ship o'hoi!", I don't know if that's a Norwegian or "international" expression), which are seasoned with sea salt.
Weird. We have a mjor brand name in North America, Chips Ahoy (a similar play on words), but their product is chocolate chip cookies.
> And we also have different "old style" chips, made from unpeeled potatoes, fried in peanut oil. They're labelled with words like "original", because they're supposedly made the way the first potato chips were made.
And again, weird. The label "original" in North America is usually applied to the original way a company made chips, not the _true_ original style chips. In general, original here simply means "Not salt & vinegar, barbecue, ketchup, or any other special flavoring".
