A chip (American English and Australian English) or crisp (British English) is a snack food in the form of a crisp, flat or slightly bowl shaped, bite-sized unit.[1][2] Many chips are fried. Some chips can be made into dishes and served as a side, hors d'oeuvre, etc. Some types of chip are often served in the combination plate known as chip and dip. Tortilla chips can be used in nachos or with salsa, bean dip, guacamole, or a layered dip containing multiple of these.[citation needed] Other chips are sweet or strongly flavored or fragile.
