They should all. Now be described as chips

Same with the term French loaf

First time I've seen it and I thought it was funny. Did you get a sense of superiority and satisfaction with your post ?

To be fair, I thought the Yorkshire sprouts quite funny

I wonder how many gallons of champagne and proseco have been consumed with Yorkshire sprouts........

Just call them fries then (which is correct), if fries are from France, call them French fries, if lamb is from Wales, call it Welsh lamb, if sprouts are from Yorkshire, call them Yorkshire sprouts, I see no problem with that.

If you speak French in Yorkshire, is it no longer French?

Shouldn't they be called Yorkshire Brussels Sprouts?

Because they are Yorkshire sprouts, sprouts from Yorkshire and not from Brussels .

They are Brussels Sprouts (that's their name) from Yorkshire.
