Best Chips

[Samadini]

The food snobs will say it depends on what you're eating them with, but who cares, just pick the best ones.

Please discuss your favourite frozen chip makes in thread and also show appreciation to their cousins, the wedges/croquettes (lol)/potatoe smiles.

[bruhnaldo]

what's wrong with waffle fries :(

[Giggles]

Frozen ones that have around a 10mm square cross section. Done in oil.

[Baz]

What's the difference between 'straight' and 'fries' in the poll?

[Samadini]

Fries are the stringy stuff, straight are just normal, no thrills chips.

[Baz]

Fries are the stringy stuff, straight are just normal, no thrills chips.I'd use that to describe "steak cut" though.

I'd each pretty much any chip tbf. Curly is easily the worst.

[Shindig]

Yeah, fries are thin things that you barrel into your mouth. Fast food imitations, basically. Although Americans don't know the difference so they see fries as an all-encompassing term.

[randomlegend]

Curlys are the best, obvs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

what's wrong with waffle fries :(

The ones at Chick-fil-A :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

These are the best frozen ones btw:

[mugbull]

Best chips are Lay's Salt & Vinegar

Best fries are McDonald's fries

[SvN]

Orange chips from the Black Country are by far the best. What a shit poll.

[SvN]

I'd use that to describe "steak cut" though.

Steak cut are wider and flatter.

You're easily the worst, douchebag.

Whatever ones you get in the best chippies.

French fries can get to fuck while we're at it.

[Pleb]

Fish and Chips anyone?

[igor_balis]

i love the greasy soggy glory of chip shop chips, but have a soft spot for the ridiculously crispy ones you get from wetherspoons. chips and potato products generally are excellent though. hash browns, french fries, waffles, all amazing. i'll even tolerate curly fries if i'm having a hot dog or something. chips.

[Dark Soldier]

Curlys are the best, obvs.

Course it is

[Magic]

McDonalds ones, I could eat fucking sack fulls.

Also I like those chips you get with cheese and bacon at <chain American diner>.

[Magic]

Wedges are good, as long as they are seasoned well, and also sweet potato fries (with Sweet Baby Ray's sauce). :drool:

[Dquincy]

I love:
* Waffles
* Smilies
* Curly fries
* McCain chips

The imitation store brand McCain chips are sub par.

Edit: sweet potatoe fries are the lowest of the low in the chip family. Soggy sacks of shit.

[randomlegend]

Generally I agree with you on sweet potato chips being soggy, but we got some frozen ones recently that were crispy as anything. They were banging.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Doing your own hash browns/rosti :drool:

[Dquincy]

Doing your own hash browns/rosti :drool:
...never turns out as good. It's the straining all the moisture out that pains me.

Maccies hash browns are nice.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well you could use some egg to bind it together.

I just put the shredded potato (after being strained in a cloth) in the pan with a lot of butter. It's glorious.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The best chips I've had were served in a cone out of a hole in the wall in Amsterdam. They were like those ones northerners think are nice, but actually nice.

That was a cock. And it was a toilet cubicle.

[Lewis]

York has what styles itself as a Dutch chip shop, and the chips are great, but it's just chips in a cone and an abnormal choice of moody sauces.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What is a moody sauce?

[Lewis]

They're all mayonnaise-based versions of hard-working, normal ones.

[Jimmy Floyd]

That was a cock. And it was a toilet cubicle.

After I read the post back I was expecting 'lol cannabis' gags, but fair play you've gone one below that.

I'm not going to get into the sauce on chips debate again, but safe to say anyone who likes the red stuff should not be walking free.

[Raoul Duke]

I had some wings/chips from a place in Bristol that served them with "Srirachanaise" (Sriracha sauce (sp?) and mayo). Hot damn that was nice

[Mazuuurk]

What the fuck is wrong with saying "Sriracha mayo" then.

[Disco]

Mayo with a bit of Dijon mustard in it works quite well too. Same principle I suppose.

[Spikey M]

Curly, closely followed by Steak Cut.

[-james-]

My mum showed me how to make mayonnaise recently. The shit you get out of a bottle shouldn't even be allowed to use the same name.

Sooooo...?

[Giggles]

I like a squeeze of sauce on the side the odd time but I remember a mate of mine used to put the red sauce in the bag and mix it around among the chips before eating them with his hand :sick:

[Disco]

Loads of salt and vinegar is usually enough.

[Samadini]

Saw a bloke in the chippy once ask for no salt and vinegar on his. What kind of pervert does that? He had them open and ate on his way out, so wasn't even like he was taking them home to do it himself (as you'd have to do, because the Chinese woman serving them would barely give you a light dusting of salt).

[SvN]

My wife hates vinegar, so if we're sharing I have to forgo it.

[Lewis]

I ordered an all day breakfast yesterday and they told me that after twelve they replace the toast and fried bread/hash browns with chips. It sounds interesting, but it turns out that it really doesn't work.

[-james-]

Imagine not liking salt and/or vinegar. Why even exist.

[Samadini]

I ordered an all day breakfast yesterday and they told me that after twelve they replace the toast and fried bread/hash browns with chips. It sounds interesting, but it turns out that it really doesn't work.

Shite when places do that. I'd take chips as an addition, not as a replacement to two key components.

[SvN]

I quite like chips on a breakfast, but I want the decision to be mine. And they are by no means a replacement for toast.

[phonics]

Chips and toast? Fucking hell lads.

[Samadini]

I'd have a pack of crisps too if an option.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I skip the vinegar at a chippy because by the time I get home the chips are a soggy mess, plus they don't add enough.

[Spikey M]

You’re a soggy mess.

[Disco]

Chips and toast? Fucking hell lads.

Don't start, someone will be in here advocating putting the entire lot into a pie in a minute.

[niko_cee]

And then putting said pie into a buttered roll.

:drool:

[SvN]

A few months ago I had "Steak on a Pie" at a Hungry Horse pub :drool: It was only about £11.

https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/11/4e/f8/50/new-steak-on-a-pie.jpg

[phonics]

I bet that gravy is 90% salt as well.

[Lewis]

Shite when places do that. I'd take chips as an addition, not as a replacement to two key components.


I quite like chips on a breakfast, but I want the decision to be mine. And they are by no means a replacement for toast.

Its failings became apparent as soon as I bust the egg and it just flowed around the other items. They had also done that wanker thing of giving you the beans in a separate cup, no doubt because they knew that once you tipped them out the sauce had nowhere to go.

[Samadini]

How do these places manage to get it so wrong? I bet they gave you half a disgusting runny tomato as well. Weatherspoons used to let me swap that for a sausage, but they will only let me have extra beans instead now.

[Lewis]

I had already swapped the mushrooms and the tomato for more sausages, so that went a long way in their favour.

[Disco]

Love a fried tomato, can be doing with beans on a fry up though, totally unnecessary.

[Mazuuurk]

What's wrong with a gooey egg-yolk?

[SvN]

A fry up without beans is just too dry. I want every mouthful to contain at least some bean juice.

[Mazuuurk]

You sound like Magics wife. Stop it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You’re a soggy mess.

I then drench the chips in vinegar at home so fuck you.

[Dark Soldier]

Nah how you're a deviant mate, you get the vinegar splashed on at the chippy then add extra at home. Although if you're having chips from a chippy without gravy you should be sent to the gulag.

[Spikey M]

He doesn’t do well in that part of Europe.

[Spikey M]

Or this part, so fuck it.

[Lewis]

What's wrong with a gooey egg-yolk?

They're essential, provided you have things to soak it up with. The chips just repelled it.

[Disco]

A fry up without beans is just too dry. I want every mouthful to contain at least some bean juice.

I tend to lean the other way, there are also certain things that the bean juice should never touch (the egg for instance) and it's not always possible to create a barrier with the bacon/sausage. Dryness is a factor but I find whatver sauce you have (HP for preference) ably fills that role.

[John]

Square sausages are perfect for making a barrier between beans and egg.

[Adamski]

Nah how you're a deviant mate, you get the vinegar splashed on at the chippy then add extra at home. Although if you're having chips from a chippy without gravy you should be sent to the gulag.

This 100%.

[Disco]

Square sausages are perfect for making a barrier between beans and egg.

Normal ones will do the job but if you're not building it yourself then it's a lottery.

[Kikó]

Rosemary chips work well. A burger place near me does it and it makes them better. Especially served on a wooden board.

And only 13 Drachma.

Gotcha, yeah you want crispy toast for that really.

[Mazuuurk]

I know you're taking the piss, but on this topic: this pretty good burger place here in stockholm does some great chips that they actually put a bit of dill on, which I thought was going to be an aberration really when I saw it, but it actually tasted alright. Now, they didn't put that much which I think is pretty key.

Then again, I'm not sure why bother. So long as chips are cooked properly they taste nice, they don't need much more than being fryed the fuck outta and a load of salt.

[niko_cee]

Had a breakfast with chips today. They really are a cornerstone item.

2 bacon, 2 sausages (extremely low grade ones), black pudding, 2 eggs, beans, tomato, fried bread, toast, chips. Still feeling it now.

[Henry]

Of any "chain", Harry Ramsden's do the best chips, although their portion size leaves me hungry.

[wullie]

I think I've been to the same one Jimmy mentioned in Amsterdam if it's the place near the train station. The menu was just chips but about 50 different choices of sauce.

[Dark Soldier]

My local greasy spoon does a great breakfast.

2 bacon, 2 sausage (surprisingly decent), beans, 2 fried eggs, tomato/mushroom if you're a weirdo and the best toast I've ever had slathered in butter.

[SvN]

You know, I bet there's less than 5 times in my life I've not enjoyed a sausage (:henn0rz:). Are they all delicious, or do I just have low standards?

[niko_cee]

My comment about the quality was meant as an endorsement. Super processed greasy spoon sausages are quite excellent.

[Samadini]

They're all great. The cheap nasty stuff has its place, similar to shit quality kebab meat, sometimes you just want that rather than the posh stuff. A 'proper' kebab after a night out isn't the same.

They always fuck up the sausage part in all hotels abroad.

Seriously disgusted as Cyprus has some quality sausages (Pastourma :drool:) which would be amazing as part of a 'Full English' abroad.

[Samadini]

That's just reminded me of the disgrace that Americans call a breakfast sausage to go with the horror of the 'biscuit and gravy'.

That photo actually makes them look better than they are. They're tiny, dry and just a waste of everyone's time.

[Giggles]

Had a beef sausage when I was travelling through Northern Ireland yesterday. I'm all for beef and masses of grease but there's still something not right about them.
It was made up for by them having scotch eggs on the deli counter though :drool:

[bruhnaldo]

You fellas really are some sausage experts:p

[John]

Americans get most things about breakfast wrong. The only exception is their crispy, seventy percent fat bacon, which is terrific.

[Spikey M]

Until you put syrup on it, anyway.

[bruhnaldo]

If choco-chip pancakes are wrong I don't wanna be right :drool:

[Giggles]

I used to make Waffles in the shape of Texas every morning in the hotel. With the aforementioned crispy bacon, they were fucking epic.

[John]

You couldn't have illustrated my point any more vividly than that. And so quickly too.

[bruhnaldo]

@Spikey Well I mean, children DO have superior taste in food. They don't have to worry about things like diet, nutrition.. they just want things that taste delicious.

We have that in common, me and the children.

[bruhnaldo]

Right, but a full English has to come with a side of sorrow. Here in America we just put chocolate chips into things and draw smiley faces with whipped cream. :)

[igor_balis]

My ideal fry-up:

LOADS of black pudding (not that Bury Black Pudding stuff as it's shite), two fried eggs (really really crispy white, hot oil poured on yolk to seal it in but still...yolky), a few GOOD QUALITY sausages (i don't might cheap shitty meat in a burger or something but gristly sausages are fucking wank), hash browns, bacon, slice of fried bread, brown sauce, fried/grilled tomato. I wouldn't do beans but I'll eat them if they're there. Would happily substitute hash browns for other similar potato products (but not chips). Mushrooms if they're not shit. bye x

[igor_balis]

Would be quite happy with a black pudding sandwich with shit loads of butter and brown sauce though. It's comfortably my favourite fry-up contributor.

[John]

Black pudding is great. Plenty of well salted butter on a crispy roll with black pudding and Tiptree brown sauce is my go to breakfast if I haven't got time for a full fry up.

You're a slice of toast away from perfection there.

If someone put a proper fry in front of you you'd have to order another one, because you'd have wept all over the first one in deep sorrow at all the children's nonsense you've been eating over the years.

Fucking chocolate chips and whipped cream for breakfast.

[Giggles]

For such a hellhole, and even for the lack of pudding, the nordies do the best fry. 3 kinds of bread :nodd:

[Lewis]

I tend to avoid bacon in fry-ups when you can select your own items. If it comes with it then whatever, it isn't worth swapping out, but ninety-nine times out of a hundred places offer you pink shitty under-done bacon, so when you see it there sweating in the tray you end up going for more sausages.

yeah i hear ya, somehow closer in consistency and flavour to the ham you'd get in a spoons ham egg and chips than proper bacon

[Disco]

With wobbly fat/rind on it too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I wish they'd use streaky bacon more. Back bacon just isn't as good.

I had pulled pork on nachos smothered with green salsa and a couple of fried eggs for breakfast in America. It was amazing and so much better than their sweet shit.

[Spikey M]

That sounds great, but breakfast? Come on lad.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It was at like 10 so I felt I could get away with it.

I can't stand undercooked bacon. Why do so many places get it wrong? Most places serve it so it's basically like warm ham.

[bruhnaldo]

There's a fine line though isn't there? I like a little crisp to my bacon but I also don't want it crumbling into an oily mess when i try to pick it up.

[Disco]

Are potato cakes the same as potato bread?

Potato cakes on google images gives varying results.

[Lewis]

I got given sourdough toast with a breakfast once, and then they gave me shite cutlery as some sort of joke.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The only kind of bread you should be having with a fried breakfast is indeed fried bread.

Potato bread and soda bread are both fried for breakfast.

Normal bread fried is a bit shit though. I prefer toast to it, the rest of the food is greasy enough.

Imagine being hungover and getting that. I'd cry.




:nodd:

Potato bread. :drool:

Also filled sodas if you can't be arsed with a full fry.

Sausage and egg soda with brown sauce. Fuck yes.

I'm going to Templepatrick later and that's on the list if I can find one without going too far off the M1/A1/M2.

EDIT: I forgot the pancake too :drool:

There's a place I stop at in Tyrone if I'm heading north west that does the potato bread, wheaten, soda, and pankcake with the full fry. Godly stuff.

The only kind of bread you should be having with a fried breakfast is indeed fried bread.

What sort of bread? Last English woman that cooked a fry for me just fried white sliced pan.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Yep, normal white. It's a heart attack fest, but you're not in the fried breakfast game for health reasons.

[Mazuuurk]

Late to the party here but Black Pudding is ace, fucking love it.

[Ian]

Black pudding is great but I saw some mad fucker up here order it in a roll with no butter or sauce once. How you'd get through that without regular slugs of water I don't know.

[Mazuuurk]

We eat it in Sweden (an equivalent) with Lingonberries and Bacon :drool:

Our bacon isn't what the British is unfortunately, but it's still Bacon so better than most other things.


Stuck in a full english though, it's even better.

[Magic]

There is little else worse than fried bread.

[Dquincy]

Has anyone tried cooking a poached egg in cling film?

[Spikey M]

I’ve done them in sandwich bags, it works alright. It’s easier to just get a poaching pan though.

[randomlegend]

Fill a saucepan with approximately 15-20 cm of water then add the salt. Place a plate upside down in the bottom of the pan then place the pan over a medium heat and bring the water up to 80ºC.

One at a time, crack each egg into a ramekin dish and pour it into a slotted spoon with small holes. Allow to drain any residual white for approximately 1–2 minutes.

Lower the slotted spoon into the warm water and slide the spoon out. Allow to poach for 4 minutes.

Remove with the slotted spoon and place on paper towel to drain the excess water. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper

I've found this method the best (from Heston lad) even if it's a bit of a faff. The fresher the eggs the better for poaching obviously.

More people should paint their ideal cooked breakfast.

There’s a question, what do you call it? Cooked breakfast is so vague but I figure everyone knows what you mean. Full English is too BNP for me, and fry up is too down south.

A little poacher is so easy to use, I also have some little silicon bowls that floated in the water, they're not bad.

[Giggles]

A fry.

[Jimmy Floyd]

To me a 'fry' would involve quite an array of fish.

Fry up / cookers / bacon and eggs. 'Full English' is a bit tourist board.

[Spikey M]

It’s only a Full English when abroad. It’s just a fry up otherwise.

[Disco]

Cookers?

:D

[Dquincy]

Not one person has opted to go with scrambled eggs in this thread. Given the choice, 100% scrambled every time for me. When done right, it is delish.

[Boydy]

A fry.

Yeah, it's just a 'fry' up here too. Dunno why the English feel the need to add the 'up'.

[Adamski]

Fry up here as well.

[Boydy]

I can't work out which way to read that.

[Adamski]

Fry up, here as well.

[Spikey M]

Fry up her.

Right up her.

Guitar hero freak.

[Spikey M]

That’s pretty much fucking poetry.

[Dark Soldier]

Had chippy tea cos this thread is donning it, A+ pudding chips gravy and a jumbo sausage. Course I took the chippy vinegar all up in that gravy then doubled it at home Mahow ya cunt.

[Magic]

Chips and gravy FUCK OFF.

[Dark Soldier]

You utter fucking degenerate.

[Giggles]

Chips and gravy FUCK OFF.

You've been wrong before but never as wrong as this.

[Lewis]

lol no wonder he's depressed.

[Kikó]

Chips and gravy from the Chinese chippy. Nearly as good as chips and curry.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Chips and gravy FUCK OFF.

You mental twat.

[Magic]

You lunatics. Why would you want to sog up perfectly good chips? Freaks.

[Lewis]

Gravy. Research on THAT!

[Disco]

Fucking gravy, you're all mad.

[Dark Soldier]

There's some absolute chuffs in here who need sortin' out

[Giggles]

You can buy them pre made these days. Look out for an up and comer called Walkers. They'll be big.
