Dear McCain Foods
I feel that the time is long overdue when I should write
to you in praise of your McCain's Oven Chips. I honestly
don't know what I would do without them. Well I do, but
as it involves the mind-numbing task of peeling potatoes
I would rather not think about it. The fact is that your
oven chips are quite the best chips it has ever been my
pleasure to eat, and as a Northerner I know my chips.
However I can't say that I think much of your
cooking instructions, so rather than cook them in the
oven or under the grill as you suggest, which tends
to make them rather dry, I cook them in the good old
fashioned way in a chip pan. This has the effect
of making them much more succulent, believe me,
especially when using good beef dripping as the
frying medium. The only thing that worries me
about doing this is that there may be a possibility
that the chip pan method of cooking oven chips uses
more fat. Have my worries any foundation in fact or am I being over-cautious?
Yours faithfully  |
