Chips

[Barton]

I am sure some of you young foodies can help,where can I get " real chips " in East Dulwich.I am sure you could get them once in Blue brick cafe,but no more.Just to clarify real,cut from a potatoe,not reshaped stuff or oven baked,not a stack of 4 chips hard and so precise in shape that no pleasure is present in the preparing or eating of them.Golden in colour,crisp but not hard,sometimes with crispy edges,drool,drool.

A sub genre maybe, but...

I do like a chinese hand cut chip at times.

Its difficult these days. Normal chip shop would be your best bet? "Fish Chips and More" on East Dulwich Road opposite Altima - or Brittania or Emilys?

We have real chips at home by buying real potatoes. Seems to work every time.

As per Alan Medic, I cook mine at home when I want perfect chips. Delia's got a straight forward recipe, you just need a thermometer up to 200-ish C.

What KK said ^ but Heston's triple cooked chips are worth the extra faff. http://www.potatolovers.co.uk/content/recipes/info/?id=65

[KidKruger]

I like them because they are good for dipping in KFC Gravy!

Had chips to take away from ,Fish+chips+more, ok but a bit pricey, And from the chip shop on Northcross Rd

on the right as you go up from l/lane, Really nice staff ,plenty of salt+vineger,piping hot ,walk along on a cold

day? All ways seem to taste better to me!!!!!

[csaddleton]

They do gravy?

[Loz]

Get on the number 37 to Herne Hill and get yer chips from Olleys. Best around.

Did KFC have the spicy fries over here?

In NZ they had these for a few years - came with a sachet of spicy god-knows-what you sprinkled over them. Actually, maybe they were called shaker fries.

Anyway, very tasty.

In Oz, KFC do mashed potato and gravy. Oh, I loved that stuff.

It also depends on what you cook them in if a chip turns out well.

There is different oils used in various shops like nut oil,corn oil,mixed veg oil,fish oil,and in some shops they are

tipping their kebab and chicken oil in the mix.

All in all their chips are just as suss as the horsemest scandal,anything to make a profit. It would be better if people learnt how to cook their own.

"Spork"
