Homemade chips? - Page 2

I forgot to say that I had moules frites when I was in Paris a week or so ago. They were totally nomtastic. Even more so because I ordered them with roquefort sauce.

I've never bothered to buy a deep fat fryer, I think in the 7.5 years I've lived here it would have been used maybe twice but if you can get them for Â£12 I may as well get one and keep in the back of the cupboard for the very odd occasion I'd use it.

I don't have chips very often nowadays and haven't cooked them for ages but I always found the double fry method best. Remember to let them cool down in between fryings. Also, when I used to cook them, I would always use lard - chips taste so much better fried in lard.

But yes, they do taste better when cooked in lard.

I never did get round to attempting to deep fry lard - must try that.

Mmmm roquefort sauce sounds absolutely divine!! I re-discovered my love for roquefort when we went to France in June. I think we had it just about every day, melted inside half a pepper on the BBQ. MMmmm!

My thoughts were exactly the same on the fryer. It means I can try the likes of tempura prawns, onion bhajis and deep-fried mars bars (OK, maybe not the last one

) without worrying about a chip pan fire

I adore Roquefort - one of my favourite cheeses. Unfortunately, I can't buy it just now while I'm trying to lose weight. If I open the pack, it won't go back in the fridge

Um, the day you do the mars bars, can I come round to play please?

The thought of deep fried Mars bars sickens me (must be the Viking in me) but you're welcome to come round and play any time you feel like it

Its just one of those things i've never tried, and part of me has always wanted to

I think you might have to fight Kelly for me though, if I did come round to play

It sickens me too, but you can still come round to play when I'm not making them
