I am forever doomed to be disappointed by chip shop fare as I was brought up in a seaside town where everything was fried in beef dripping. That flavour just does not exist any more
. I will never again know the pleasure of a post-pub bag of big fat crispy chips from my home town dripping in salt and vinegar....mmmm....
Potato waffles are horrible and also known by me as "potato awfuls". Dreadful things.
The weirdest chips are from KFC. They taste like they have been boiled or something. Most peculiar.
