Chips

[Poi E]

Anything but the soggy chips dissolving under a warmer that disgrace many a chippy. If I pay I want them freshly cooked.

There appears to be too many options in the poll

You are not restricted to one answer.

Curry chips, ketchup and chips, bbq sauce and chips.

Chips and gravy. BEEF GRAVY.

 

[wtfftw]

Surely well-enough expressed on the sixty nine-plus other threads about chips.....?

Yeah. Handily, I don't care.


Also the new suggesting function said that most recent was started by Stanley last year or so so whatever. Also. None had my poll. :upyours:

That's the word I was looking for! Candaian Chips with melted cheese and gravy! Yum!

I've always wondered whether the French call the Russian president "Poutine" rather than spell it Putin because the latter might sound like Putain.

I think it is cheese curd rather than melted cheese as such *pedant*

Fish and chips

Funny you say that, I'm having cod and chips from the local chippy for dinner

Curry chips, ketchup and chips, bbq sauce and chips.

Chips and gravy. BEEF GRAVY.

Good gravy makes all the difference. I've actually been known to make my own and put it on takeaway chips, rather then pay for the overpriced bland chip shop stuff.

Thanks to this thread my diet has just gone out the window and I'm now feverishly peeling spuds and heating a pot of oil.
Feck...feck...feckity feck....


....

And I'm toying with abandoning the curry I was going to cook tonight and toddling off down to my local fish and chip shop.

Battered chips are amazing. But you can't beat normal ones cooked in beef dripping

 

[Mation]

Just for the record, French Fries are not chips. They are an abomination that must be endured when desperate. Sweet potato fries, on the other hand, are sublime.

But! At least they give a nod towards real chips. They are not totally fry. No. I can't believe that they are if you, my friend, have a (dirty) thing for them.

And I know what your game is miss, oh yes I've got your number, it'll take more than a few full stops and a question mark to get this one going. I've had enough, ENOUGH YOU HEAR

I was just asking for "... I stand corrected kitty and wtfftw"

gravy is a northern affectation that I can live with, I wouldn't have it by choice but if it was all there was as a condiment I'd totally yam that.


Great story I heard from Noel Gallagher (on the radio obvs, I don't know him), he goes into his northern chippy just before closing time and asks for the gravy but is told theres only one boat left and its been claimed by someone else. He turns round and its Ian Brown of the stone roses, who graciously shares the boat with him. Northerner solidarity.

Chips deserve brown sauce. Respect your chip; don't sully it with ketchup, you soft southern Jessie.

I should've said Wolverhampton and the Black Country to be precise
There's a couple of places in the west of wolves that do good orange chips. The Newhampton chippy in Whitmore Reans and the Newbridge Fryer spring to mind, although the Newbridge ones are not as orange.

I have a mate who djs under the name 'Orange Chip'

Frank Skinner mentioned in his autobiography a chippie on Hagley Road, Birmingham (near the Ivy Bush) that sold bright orange chips. But that must have closed down now because the only place nearby that remotely resembles a proper chippie was Chaps. Their chips weren't orange, and they've closed down due to breach of Health and Safety.

My rule of thumb is, if it opens on a Sunday, it's not a proper British chippie (only horrible kebab and fries-type places do this). In 2010 I started boycotting my local on Dudley Road after they started opening on Sundays, and began going to Bobbo's over the Smethwick border. Which is probably just as well, as the exercise would have burned up the calories. But now I patronise the City Fryer, which has now opened opposite the Frying Pan (the offending "chippie" which has - horror of horrors - has even taken to selling SALAD BAGUETTERS! Blasphemy!)

So what gives these orange chips their colour then?

 

[mr steev]

Paprika I think, but the recipes are closely guarded secrets (especially by the few chippies who all claim to have invented them)

All that good chips need is to be lightly salted; no condiments necessary.

But having said that; they're good with condiments, too. I like the stuff you can get at a Belgian Fries place. My favorite dip for chips, is mayonnaise. Yum.

There are NO CHIPS in my house. I'm having a fish finger sandwich instead.
