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.
From February 9 -15 it is National Chip week in the UK!
