You expect a food that's clearly fried in fat to automatically be fried
in vegitarian or vegan fat? Given centuries long tradition of using
pork fat, duck fat, butter fat and so on at the best fats for frying I
find this a bizzare expectation.

Maybe if you stressed how cheap the chips were I'd think you expected
them to be fried in inexpensive oil and therefore plant oil. As these
are reconstituted potato that does suggest cheap.

Okay, not all that bizzare an expectation after all. Not what I would
have expected but not bizzare either. Time to go to the vending
machines at the office and see if I can salute you with some of them.
Cheers!
