I had chips in newspaper t'other day.


It was in Yorkshire though, so I suspect that it's different up here.

Everything is different in Yorkshire. They are stil mastering electricity.

i am what we call "in deep cover" in yorkshire and am conducting an anthropological study into them. I have not observed newsprint being used to serve chips but I am still doing preliminary studies of the species' eating habits.

Just made me think, my local chippy stopped doing it in about 07 when the owner died & it got taken over, miss being able to eat and read!

wrapping is still in news- but its unprinted news- normally the end of the rolls from the printing presses.

first layer is greaseproof

Another one from Yorkshire here who loves chips in Newspaper. There is something enjoyable about having more and more reading material appear as you make your way through dinner.
