Reading a novel set in Sussex - author has referred a few times to 'crisps'
as something commonly eaten. Are these what we Yanks call potato chips, or French fries? Thanks.

You got the answer to that - potato chips.

I love some of the other terms - like 'garage drive' for.... 'driveway'?

I'd like to know what the heck is a drop kerb/curb? I know what a curb is (however you choose to spell it) but what is it when it's prefaced by the word drop?

A dropped kerb is used to allow easy access to your driveway.
