        Good old fashioned chip pan is the best,not that I eat that many chips but you can't beat them:wub2:...especially if you really push the boat out and fry them in beef dripping:thud:

            Last time I was forced to go into McDonalds they didn't sell chips they were something called 'fries' which appeared to be reconstituted potato dropped into a deep fat fryer and caked in salt to disguise the taste. I wouldn't eat them if you paid me.

                  Blimey, eggy bread! I haven't had that in years!

                  I remember as a kid, going to my best friends house for a sleep over (I could see my house across the road, but hey, I was about 8 at the time so it was great!); when we woke up in the morning, his mum offered to make us French Toast - - I had never heard of such a thing, but agreed anyway; well, when it came....... boy o' boy what a yummy treat!

                  Can't have stuff like that much now, as the doctor says I have a very 'Scottish' cholesterol.....

                    Earlier I fried a pan of streaky bacon, then threw in a tin of beans, with a slice of fried bread in another pan.
                    Mopped up the bacon fat with some bread and butter.
                    God was it greasy, felt sick afterwards, but it went down well.
