In America, crisp is used to describe natural food that is very fresh or a nice, cold morning. But crispy is used to describe food that is cooked so long it's become crunchy.

  As an American, the fuck you going on about? A crisp stick of celery makes a crispy crunch when you bite it. All you did is make weird classification for the adverb of the same word as an adjective.

    As opposed to the UK, where a crisp is a chip and a chip is a fry.

      I like mixing some milk into my crisps to make sogs.

      But in the UK, is a crisp “crispy” or is “crisp” a derivative of another term or phrase?

  if you cook something long enough for it to get crispy, that’s still used as a favourable descriptor

  Crispy can also mean you’re contemplating the nature of Mario’s 8-bit existence
