TYPO:
Sorry, my explanation should read: "This is the term I have previously heard which could be used for what this sounds like to me."

Example sentence(s):
  • "Everyone has strong opinions about their french fries — do you prefer them with or without skin, battered, what oil do you favor, would you rather have thick steak fries or SKINNY FRIES with crunch? "
  • “The best burger and skinny fries I have ever tasted.”
