potato wedges aren't the same as chips - they are potato wedges. Your steak fries are closer to chips.
But fish and chips using french fries aren't proper fish and chips. That's like a McDonald's version of fish and chips.
And what happened to freedom fries? Did that not take hold?

And in Australia we sometimes put them on a sandwich too.
@Chlidonias - I've never heard of Freedom Chips, what are they?
@wensleydale ; In relation to the confusion a few posts back I realise now the way the conversation was going. But there wouldn't have been any confusion to start with if you simply accepted there is nothing wrong with barbecue chicken on a pizza.
In fact, I'm thinking about having one tonight just to emphasize my point!

NZers put them on sandwiches too, usually with marmite. I personally think that's not a good sandwich but lots of people do it.
Not freedom chips, freedom fries. It was a thing America did a while back when France opposed America's invasion of Iraq. In a protest of stupidity, they changed the name "french fries" to "freedom fries".
Crisps on a sandwich is something that's considered normal here too, although not very typical. And @Hix, while I respect your tenacity, there is definitely something wrong with barbecue pizza
Hang on - it's not a barbecue pizza (i.e. a pizza cooked on a barbecue), it's a barbecue chicken pizza - a pizza featuring barbecued chicken.

@Hix: I was referring to a pizza that uses barbecue sauce in any way. Barbecued chicken on pizza is fine.
@Chlidonias: No, and I don't know anybody who does.

You break an egg on top of the pizza before you cook it. It is the best thing to have on a pizza.
Only accidentally. I once tried to order a pizza from a driving car and I wanted a pizza with onion (ui), but somehow they understood that I wanted a pizza with egg (ei). These words look very different but sound somehow alike in Dutch... So I was negatively surprised when they delivered this pizza with 2 boiled eggs on it... After I recovered from the shock, I actually found out it tasts quite nice....
I'm highly skeptical, but I'll give your claim the benefit of the doubt for now.
What are people's feelings about seafood on pizza?

Supposedly the clam Pizza at Pepe's in New Haven (and they have a couple of other locations as well) is absolutely superb, with fresh clams, not canned, almost their signature dish, however it contains no tomato sauce so I have no interest in trying it.

Here they are called "Aussie" pizzas (bacon, ham, egg), and its worth getting one when ordering a few takeaway pizzas and saving it for breakfast the next day.
once again, the Australians take an idea from a New Zealander and pretend it is their own. Sigh.
Throw on some potatoes and you have a "breakfast pizza"
I've never had one but apparently it's good.Personally I LOVE pineapple on pizza! I can't get enough of it! Barbecue chicken pizza and chicken bacon ranch pizza are also good.
In Rhode Island, they serve pizza that's cold, cut into squares, and literally only sauce. Now that is an abomination, especially when someone drops their chewed gum onto your slice...

Once I got a slice of pizza with dog hair and a hotwheel wheel on it, I refused to eat it.
was it not what you had ordered?

No, I specifically asked for one that hadn't been on the floor.
