Do you want ketchup with this?

Some friends were visiting from Argentina, and during a picnic, I thought I would show their young son that I had a grip on Spanish. I kept asking him if he wanted zapatos fritos, and he just kept saying "¿²Ï³Üé?" I thought the poor kid didn't have an idea what potato chips were ... ahem ... I found out later chips are patatas fritas, and cool Roger was offering him fried shoes.
