This week is National Chip Week, when the nation’s favourite traditional fast food is celebrated throughout the country.
In America chips are known as french fries or just fries, but of course here in the UK they are known as good old chips, delicious deep fried strips of potato.
The first chip fried in Britain was supposedly at Oldham’s Tommyfield Market in 1860.
There are many different types of chips “thick cut chips”, “shoestring fries”, “steak chips”, “crinkle cut chips”, “curly chips” and many, many more! They can be coated with spices to make “seasoned fries” and of course some people even leave the skin on the potatoes (which I personally think is just plain lazy!)
I have to say, my absolute favourite chips are chip shop chips, nothing beats them, no skinny fries, no oven chips – but the great traditional chippy chips!

I was just doing some surfing on my Garmin Phone during my lunch at my work place, and I came across something I thought was intriguing. It linked over to your website so I came over. I can’t really figure out the relevance between your site and the one I came from, but your site good anyway.
This post was very nicely written, and it also contains a lot of useful facts. I appreciated your professional way of writing this post. Thanks, you have made it very easy for me to understand.
Your review made me nostalgic a bit.
