Chipper chips!


EDIT: I like my chips to be thick, not burnt crispy but not too soggy either. So i'll have to pick other on the poll

Any sort of chips as long as there on a plate next to nice big sandwich.

Preferably a steak sandwich. With cheese. And fried onions. And while your at it make some sort of dip. Maybe gravy.

Hold on did you say you were making food?.......

They need to be the handcut chips that are dripping with grease, served in a brown paper bag and saturated in vinegar.

F*ckin yum

Proper thin and crispy, not mcdonalds type though. Burger king are nice but I haven't eaten from there in years. Go to Belgium, order a bag of "friten met sooflesause en mayonaise". Possibly the nicest chips I have ever tasted.

The fat and soggy ones are quite nice too.

Nothing worse than those poxy frozen chips you get in a chipper, an absolute disgrace.

Imperial chips cut from real potatoes from a proper fish & chipper beats any of those frozen EU metric crap from fast burger joints.

Is that a sandwich?

For some reason Chinese takeaways make the best chips - crispy and golden! I know it's hardly Chinese food but they're soooo good

Chips from chippers are usually undercooked and soggy, ugh

I love it when you find a really long chip. You know the really long chip I mean? The one where you actually think to yourself "jaysus what size of spud did this come from". And then you picture a giant melon sized spud.

At the time I started posting this, you had contributed about 9% of the thread so you're partly responsible for its intellectual paucity.

Not my local chipper, if anything was undercooked he would have them thrown straight back at him.

I don't care what people say, call it nostalgia all ya want.

Potatoes are gone to fcuk and you will never tatse a bag of chips as good as they tasted in the 80's.

You'd have better luck finding a banana flavoured banana.

Ive done this a few times at my local chipper. Except i don't throw em back i just say they're not the best pet (even if its a bloke) same order again thanks.

Theres an old saying, If a chipper can't make chips.....blow it up. Or something along those lines.

The best chips (I assume you mean chips as in fries) are the ones you make yourself if you do them right, firstly cut them into big chips and soak them in cold water for at least an hour before cooking, the water will turn white but thats what you want because thats all the starch coming out, then run them under a cold tap until the water runs clear. Put on your Deep fat Fryer and heat it to 160 degrees and when it's hot enough throw them in and fry them for only 7 minutes and take them out, leave them to settle on a plate for about half an hour and then plug the Deep fat fryer in again at 190 degrees this time and throw them in and fry them for about 10 minutes (Watch their colour) and I swear they will be golden and crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, the best chips ever are ones you do right yourself

Sharpshooter

A nice plate of home made thick chips, placed on a few sheets of bounty, ( I'm still calling it bounty ) to soak away the fat, before you eat them.

Then lightly salted. Yum!

daz801

for me it's got to be the chips me granny makes (along with sauseges and fried egg)

small thick and crispy, best chips ever!

bit of heinze ketchup and your in heaven (why is it grannies always make the best food)

That is impossible to find a banana flavoured banana anymore

How the hell do you remember what the chips tasted like back in the 80's:eek:
I agree though something not right with potatoes now, so i dont cook chips at home or even eat chips that much anymore:(

Home-made thick chips ftw. With lots of vinegar.

The problem is though, shop bought vinegar is not the same.:(

My dad even went to the bother of buying a bottle of vinegar from the local chippie for me, but no way did it taste the same as the one they sprinkle on the chips.:mad:

Remember them filthy disgusting things called McCains microwave chips?

Delicious soggy, steaming cardboard sticks ready in seconds! yeah!

Thick and soggy ftw! Ewww thin+thick crispy chip perverts! :eek:

Totally agree, I think part of the flavour was them being wrapped up in newspaper or fried in the same fat (in the 80's we used fat/dripping people and not Vegtable or Olive oil and we are still alive today and seem to still have managed to avoid heart attacks, but then again we also climbed trees and fell out of them without breaking bones or having our parents wonder who they could sue and how much they'd make) as the fish and it was always hot fat so they cooked fast as they should and not slow like a normal cooker does them

Hey hold on.....that old tv show is called chips & this thread is about chips!!

Thats really very clever. Your the tops.

christ on a bike!

Does anyone have a deep fat fryer in their house any more??

Most houses seem to have abandoned them for 'health' and smell reasons in favour of rubbish tasting oven chips

TPD

Can't say for sure myself, but my Da reckons the best chips he ever had were got in Scotland, fried in animal fat. Personally, I think oven fries cooked in a deep fryer are the best. Supervalu's own brand are suprisingly good.

I think its the oil the Chinese use in their cooking, it makes it taste different and gives a different crispiness before it gets soaked with the curry sauce!

I was going to throw in tortilla chips but then I realized what "chips" you are speaking about.
