Mothersday present shopping at 10am. Local Morrison's was rammed. Never seen it so busy - going to be some happy mums - absolutely tonnes of flowers with more coming out on shelves. Cost me a small fortune as had to pay for my two teens (no money) plus also my mum and MIL's presents.

Tea has been home made steak, mushroom, onion and vegetable pie. Loads left for some lovely lunches.

Haven't managed to get out and get mum anything, but she's OK with that, bless her. Instead, I'm going to cook a slap-up poncy meal, which i know she'll appreciate.

I fitted new mudguards to my Viscount this evening and then went down the road looking for puddles to ride through!

Thinner chips absorb more fat. It's basically down to the relationship between surface area vs volume.

Also, the absorption of fat is dependent on the variety of potato. I learnt this from a farmer friend (and fellow yellow sticker-er). Desiree make gorgeous chips and roasties, but they absorb twice as much fat as a Maris Piper. That's why chip shops use Maris Pipers almost exclusively.

The surface area or lack of it contributing to an increase in fat is what someone I know may or may not have argued, possibly on alt.nuke.the.usa
Not much solving of anything went on in such egregious places.

As a cook, I find that something halfway between a thin chip and a chunky one gives the best result.

Oh, and I fry mine (cut from Maris Piper tatties) in beef dripping.

I've recently discovered that Aldi do triple-cooked beef dripping chips and they're frites-tastic done in an air fryer. They may well be Mary's Papa's tatties.
