Did you
know that if you laid all the chips eaten in Great Britain each year
end to end, they would take you around Silverstone Grand Prix circuit
over 1.5 million times?... that's the equivalent of more than 26,000
British Grand Prix's!
National Chip Week, organised by
Potato Council, is back for its eighteenth year. Last year more than
800 chip shops took part so there's sure to be something happening
near you in February 2009. During the week itself we will be
revealing the winners of Great Britain's Perfect Portion awards, and
Keith Chegwin will be on tour to find his own perfect portion.
Visit www.lovechips.co.uk to find
out which chip shops in your area will be taking part. From 12
January 2009 readers can nominate their perfect portion online -
whether it's their local chippie, home cooked oven fries, or chunky
chips in their local pub, we want to hear what makes their perfect portion.
TV chef, Paul Bloxham, chef
patron at the award-winning Tilbury pub in Hertfordshire, is
passionate about the chip and an advocate of National Chip Week 2009. "There
are so many ways we can all enjoy chips, from home-made traditional
chips, to oven chips spiced with a kick. Chips are always a favourite
choice at my restaurant and it doesn't surprise me that we all love
them so much - fluffy on the inside, crisp and golden on the outside
and with all the goodness of potatoes!"
