The first two options are home made options as opposed to the various takeaway or manufaftured options.
Fat chips or French fries or wedges. ie. Whether you cut them fat or thin.
Sorry, I thought it was clear.

nekomimi rocks!!!
proper chips cooked on the right temperature and served in a box.
paper wraps makes the chips lose it's crunchy texture.
and who voted for chinese chippies? damn...some people have no taste.

My local chippie is chinese run and is good, if a little sad.
It's run by an elderly chinese couple - the man takes your order, passes the order to his wife who cooks to order, then he takes your money and knocks you down in his rush to the bookies over the road to lose your £4.50 on the 19:00 at Haymarket. Refusing his offer of free chips while you wait is likely to offend him as well and could result in hard fu manchu style glares.

Chip shop chips are best.
There was a good article about chips in the Mail on Saturday, I doubt any of you lot read it though! Basically the bloke was moaning about how he went to a Michelin Starred place and was served oven chips with his steak. Their response was something along the lines of "You don't expect us to chop the potatoes and cook them ourselves do you?".
The Mail asked a load of top chefs how they cook their chips. Some of them, like Heston Blumenthal, go through a ridiculously complicated process. Jamie Oliver's was pretty straightforward though, so I followed it last night. They turned out ok, but could have been better. I need a bit more practice.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
I do not get english chippies at all at all. For starts so few of them use fresh potatoes. (I walked into my local chippy around the corner from me, a few weeks after I moved in to see a sign saying "we are frying with new potatoes" and nearly wept with joy). Secondly the time that they close at 11FFS. Back in Dublin no chippy in their right mind would consider closing before 1am. Why? Because stumbling home from the pub, with a stomach full of guinness, there is nothing better than a trip to the chipper, and getting deep fried proper chips. Helps the hangover with some serious soakage as well.
Over in Engerland can I get proper chips anywhere after last orders? Can I fuck. Fried chicken, nasty chips and kebabs yes. Proper chips no? Mental.
Incidently the other two options are my mums, and proper chips from a chipper in their curry sauce.

i always knew there were something wrong with you!
I love chips, i can often be heard yelling chips down efra road about 2am on a saturday morning, i will yell CHIPS till i get em too and if i am allowed to steal chips from someone else i am even happier.
Chips are the food of gods, specially if covered in the following:Curry sauce
Mayonaise
English mustard
Gravy
Orang Utan
Maybe I like the misery
Oven chips are horrible - chip shop chips all the way for me - couldn't eat them very often though - they're a bit boring

this reminds me, when I was living in Dublin years ago, there was a chippie very close to to christchurch (?) in the Liberties area. there was a huge queue outside and appeared to be quite renowned. and the fish was excellent.
Anyone who moans about the quality of chips and then covers them in grimbo-yellow coloured curry flavour chemical gloop is a bit of a ninny really.
You get the chips you deserve. And folks who want to corrupt the beautiful simplicity of the humble British chip with cheap-arsed industrial curry or gravy flavoured nastiness don't deserve any.

nothing like a good bit of belgian mayonnaise on your chips!

Mayonnaise has more integrity, but it's still a foreign interloper on our British potato traditions.
Use with caution - and certainly none of that lamentable Hellmans crap - as you'll be absorbing a little bit of the Belgian style. And you know what that means guinnessszzzzzzzzzz...zzzzz

many things have been said about belgians but they can definitely not be criticised for their style of chips!

Milesy was actually born in a vat of amoy curry sauce after an unfortunate hospital mix-up. Most of the turmeric yellow scrubbed off (although you can check behind his flappers for a small patch of discoloured skin) with time, but the whole experience did soften his bonce and thinking abilities considerably.
With Milesy's tastebuds shot for life, there was some compensation from the kindly Mr Amoy, who gave the famiy a lovely bit of porcelain. The Ming-Milesy urn is stlll on prominent display on the family fireplace...
aqua said:AND ANOTHER THING
they don't do gracy round here, which is shit - good fish n chip shop chips with gravy on is food of the god
And what god would that be? The little mouthed god with no sense of class. It's a chipped potato for christsakes - not a vehicle to carry some MSG-laden grimness created in an East Molesy industrial plant rejected by the Bisto corp.
It's a chip. Deal with it. eat and enjoy. Not smother it in that cack.
