Oven Chips - A Revised Opinion

[sojourner]

As some of you know, I have trumpeted the qualities of Mccains oven chips, but lately, I have been very definitely swayed to the (far superior) tesco finest chunky oven chips

Quite frankly, unless I've been very lucky, they are QUALITY. Almost tastes like real potato

Yeh - feel free to contribute/derail

 

[Tank Girl]

we've had them when they've been on special offer, and yes, they're quite nice. we're on co-op crinkle cut chips tonight

 

[sojourner]

oo no, can't be done with crinkle cut

unneccessary

i think there's been major leaps forward in oven chip technology lately.

when i consider the vile excuses for chips that my mum used to give me as a child, some of the chips on offer these days are pretty damn good

i was very lucky in some ways as a child - we only ever had chips done in lard, in the chip pan. my mum could do 3 different types of chips, on demand. it's all about the double-dip n that

yeah my mum got really into making her own after i'd left home

i think there may have been a method in her madness

do you know how many housefires have been started by pissed up teens making chips after the pub?

 

[baldrick]

you know i never considered that

sneaky mother!

Steer well clear of the Mccain battered chips with paprika - they absolutely ming.

Oven chips are OK if you cook them for about twice as long as it says on the packet.

Very true - but I still think Aunt Bessie is the best for anything frozen

Aunt Bessie is blatantly boning Uncle Ben

Auntie Bessie's not like that

I've just realised I haven't cooked chips for nearly two years.

Christ.

tbh no matter how much better oven chips are then they were years ago they still aint a patch on proper chippy chips - I very rarely eat the oven things - I only have them in for 1 particular mate who loves em - so unless you used to cook your own you aint missing out.
