British Expatriate Network

I seem to remember British chip shop chips being kind of soft and soggy as opposed to firm and crispy. How do they do that?

Well, actually they don't do *anything*, it's the natural effect of steam making them go somewhat soft.

Sounds a bit kinky huh? :lol:

"will it be chips or jacket spuds regards"

Has anyone seen Good Eats on Food Network and actually there has been a couple of other cooks on there who have done chips, then took them out and put them back in? When I was back in England for a while I worked in a chippy for a bit and I never see that done, yet the chips always came out looking and tasting pretty good!!
Maybe it was all that steam eh? razz

How I miss a good fish'n'chips..... sad

BofC, this is where you need to think positive and be active. Try Maczippy's Fish and Chip Recipe in this forum - It's delicious and tastes like home. For extra authenticity, wrap it up in newspaper.

Make it yourself dude!

It's taste good, and you can buya pint of Newcastle Brown Ale, do as Beng said, wrap it in newspaper and feel good!

Here's my recipe:
