Celebrating the most popular of takeaways

A french invention Pomme Frites were discovered in the 18th century with a first mention in Britain in 1854, when a chef put thin potatoes cooked in oil in a recipe book.

Today chips are the staple of a Saturday night spent in the pub, usually accompanied by curry sauce or gravy or even a kebab.

They can also accompany a burger or a fish, chicken or a steak, they can even be dressed in ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese and many other things that take your fancy, one of the most popular being salt and vinegar.

You don’t have to buy them from your local chippie, you can make your own by peeling and chipping potatoes, buying oven chips or even frozen.

You can also make them into a buttie between two pieces of white bread spread generously in butter and accompanied by your favourite condiment.

The smell makes your taste buds salivate, their taste comforts you and they generally make you want to banish your diet book.

They are a true cause for celebration, that come in a variety of shapes and sizes from skinny to chunky.
