    • 2018 January 2, “No son vigueses ni jicho ni chollo ni patatilla ni tenis”, in La Voz de Galicia‎:
      Lo común en España es que no exista tal diferencia y que todas sean patatas fritas, mientras en Iberoamérica se decantan por papas fritas. Pero la distinción de patatillas para nada es exclusivamente viguesa. Porque es cierto que no aparece en el diccionario de la RAE, pero también se dice habitualmente en la otra punta del país: en Baleares se utiliza patatillas con el mismo sentido que en Vigo. Otra palabra viguesa descartada.
