All it's got to do is get hot & lift the chips out. What do you think?

Oven chips are far healthier anyway.

yerrbut "chips" made by slicing celery would be even more healthy

And I assumed the Brexit link was the failure of the EU to grant
traditional specialities protection so "fish and chips" could only be
used if cooked in beef dripping

The Tefal one slowly 'tumbles' the chips with a rotating scoop to ensure
even coating and cooking, it works very well but is expensive. I don't
think the cheaper ones do this.

Apart from using much less oil, it's better than deep frying because you
can add things, for example, a sprig of rosemary, black pepper or a good
pinch of smoked paprika, even some Parmesan towards the end. All this
gets tumbled around with the chips. I like to crinkle cut the chips, or
if the spuds are small, make them more like Tapas.

Because the tablespoon of oil is only used once, you can use just about
any type. For me, it's usually either grapeseed oil for crispness or a
50/50 mix of olive and chilli oil for flavour.

I was watching something the other day and the suggestion was we (or

Along similar lines, when buying a sandwich out we to try to go for

rather than say a white baguette because we believe the content to

I also read something about the 'viability' of the grain (if it could

Agreed (although some oven chips can be ok).

We don't have a deep fat fryer (and haven't for many years) and would
rarely have chips at home of any form. We also don't fry much food,
preferring to bake, grill or microwave.

If we want some carbs with a meal and fancy potato for a change we
might first actually cook it in the microwave and then crisp it up in
the over with whatever we are cooking (and so eat the skins as a
slightly crispy treat). And we now only have half of a small / medium
baker between us, rather than one each.

I think in spite of getting smaller plates and trying to serve up
smaller (and better) portions, we were brought up to 'clear up your
plate' rather than stopping when you think you have had 'sufficient'.

If you watched any vox pops from the areas which were once prosperous, it

And when they explained there were more immigrants coming into this
country (legally) than those coming in from the EU (also legally) they
seemed stunned (it was definitely 'news to them')? When it was
explained that these 'immigrants' were often a) doing the jobs that
many English people wouldn't and b) paying their taxes and buying our
products and c) many industries wouldn't be able to cope without them
.... they were even further stunned.

However, being stunned didn't seem to stop the auto response of
'well, yeah, but we have too many immigrants ...'

*Every* honest discussion I have seen or heard since has had this
undertone of 'no one fully contemplated the consequences of leaving
the EU', because no one could of course.

Some however had a reasonably good idea and from a general
man-in-the-street and most experts POV, it now looks like leaving
seems to be more negative (especially in the short term (~12 years))
to most people lives than staying.

The leavers that aren't seriously (now) considering the consequences
of their actions are generally those who voted Leave for some bogus
and most likely never-to-be-seen-ITRW 'outcome'.

Like, home many *more* immigrants might we see over the next two years
as opposed to those who might have been coming in over the next 10 had
we stayed?

How will the leavers cope with not 180,000 p.a. but 750,000? They will
come even knowing there won't be a job or housing because it's their
'last chance'?

And I don't think you could accuse the BBC of being
pro leave so showing a carefully edited viewpoint.

Nope, they generally show an equal number of both sides.

It might just be him when the cost of dog food goes up. ;-(

Or even his own food.

If it's delivered by a vehicle it will already be costing more (with
fuel bought against the pound - dollar value).

And that's the point isn't it ... most of the great unwashed have so
little idea about the 'bigger picture' of all this it frightens me
that they are allowed to vote. I didn't vote (well I voted NOTA [1])
because *I know* I don't know enough about it.

Cheers, T i m

[1] And that's another thing that has often been brought up in these
post Brexit discussions. Had the people been able to vote for a few
more options, we might have got closer to what the people *actually*
wanted than the binary *choice* they were given (or were tricked into
making).

Didn't seem to matter. That awfully nice Mr Farage had assured them that
they'd get their country back by voting leave. And their town back too,
obviously.

So like someone with terminal cancer, they got hope from any old quack.

If you don't know how to chips you don't know how to live.

I occasionally tip mine into a saucepan for filtering but if i just turn it on long enough to melt the fat I can upend it into a skillet and scrape any crumbs and crud off for use frying eggs etcetera. The inside just needs a wipe with tissue, not washing.

Less fat in a portion of fish and chips than in a sandwich:

The total fat content of an average portion of fish and chips is estimated to be 48.2g. This compares favourably with a cheese and ham sandwich with mayonnaise which has 51.98g fat and a donner kebab in pitta bread with salad and chips, which has a total fat content of 57.74g.

http://www.greatbritishfishandchips.co.uk/page8.htm

So all pretty similar then. So, the next question would be what are
the benefits of each?

(FWIW I'm also trying to say away from 'processed meats' so would
rarely have ham. If I have a kebab it would generally be chicken and
rarely with chips (and I often don't eat all the pita)).

An average portion of fish, chips and peas contains only 7.3% fat of which 2.8% is saturated fat. This compares with 10.8% fat in a pork pie and 16.8 grams you will find in a tuna mayonnaise sandwich.

mayo (in case that makes any difference (either way)).

As with salt, fat is now good for you.
Fish and chip shops are the new health shop.



It has been known for a while that Dripping or Lard is healthier than
most oils, if not all. A lot tastier, too.

Many pages on the subject.

Just because some fool claims something...

If I want fish and chips, I generally don't want a bit of nasty end of
beef mixed in, thanks. YMMV.

I do find *all* chips from fish and chip shops simply awful. I want crispy
and brown. They do pale and soggy. I have no idea why?

Because they dont run the fat hot enough so it lasts longer.

Oh, I like the sound of that. Shall give it a try. Cheers.

All it's got to do is get hot & lift the chips out. What do you think?

Oven chips are far healthier anyway.

Aren't the ultra low fat air fryers healthier still?

I think Lidl are doing one for 50 quid. Tempted to give it a try.

The Tefal one slowly 'tumbles' the chips with a rotating scoop to ensure
even coating and cooking, it works very well but is expensive. I don't
think the cheaper ones do this.

Apart from using much less oil, it's better than deep frying because you
can add things, for example, a sprig of rosemary, black pepper or a good
pinch of smoked paprika, even some Parmesan towards the end. All this
gets tumbled around with the chips. I like to crinkle cut the chips, or
if the spuds are small, make them more like Tapas.

Because the tablespoon of oil is only used once, you can use just about
any type. For me, it's usually either grapeseed oil for crispness or a
50/50 mix of olive and chilli oil for flavour.


First press rapeseed oil (doesn't spit as much, apparently), dash of
chili oil, microwave covered for up to 5 minutes, oven for 15 minutes,
turning once.

The amazing thing is that the customers buy them.

Most customers are undiscerning.

My *local* chippy (for local people, shuts at 10pm so no after-pub custom) does proper crispy light-brown chips. Expensive at £1.80 a poke though..
