I keep forgetting about the language difference! Yes - UK chips are fatter french fries. US chips are crisps in the UK. I think. Thin crunchy savoury potato snack, anyway

Oh. My. God. Does it taste anything like peanut butter?

It tastes nothing like peanut butter.
Umm.... taste. Have you ever drunk Guinness? Imagine that reduced down to a paste, with salt added and the alcohol removed, and it probably tastes nothing like it. But it's the closest I can think of! It's yeasty and salty and savoury, and, umm... I'm in the "love it" camp!
