Yum yum! Why can't chippys use dripping any more? Veg oil is so bland

Not just vegetarians I imagine.

What are vegetarians doing in a chip shop in the first place? They sell deep fried dead stuff and chips

leowyatt · 20-02-2009, 22:01

they can still eat chips last time I looked

Belmit · 20-02-2009, 22:07

Are the chips fried separately or in the same tank as the savaloys and fish? Never even thought to look!

Exactly

I like chips with flavour, bring out the dripping

Don't forget dripping is bad and unhealthy..

if you want healthy food don't get takeaway, when you do get takeaway I want tasty stuff. Not flavourless oil fried chips.

There must be some chippys that still do it and probably make outstanding money by saying they use drippings. there still a huge demand for it, with no supply.

Someone should trademark that for later use.
"Deep fried dead stuff".....I'd buy a couple of boxes of that.

Leon, an ex-chip shop employee says - There's no ****ing way you could separate everything. Most chippies fry the meat and chips in the same oil but at different times (don't want sausage-flavoured chips). The reason they switched to veg oil is because it's cleaner, healthier, cheaper, easier to change/clean. Health and safety also hate dripping, presumably because it's such a sod to clean.
