Chippies!

March 14th, 2019

I’ve been meaning to write this down for ages now and haven’t had time, it’s kind of an extension of the mayonnaise posts.  While it’s definitely a “sometimes food” dipping chips into mayo is something everyone loves, so here we go.

One thing that has always blown my mind is the trillions of dollars made by simple potato, fried in oil, covered in salt.  Think of all the restaurants, junk food joints, sporting events, pubs, and bars that serve hot chips – then add on to that all the bags of “crisps” that are sold around the world and you get what I mean.

I’ve personally cooked tonnes of the things.  (busy pub, Saturday night, 10 x 10kg boxes = 100kg, ten Saturday nights and you’ve hit a tonne! – this is of course ignoring every other night of the week!!)
