"We fry things, that's what we do. It's like banning the wok in China or outlawing the pizza oven in Italy."

Bake Off's Mary Berry criticised by MasterChef judge over fryers - BBC News



Rubbish, Mr Wallace. All I hear in your intervention is someone trying to get his name in the papers at the expense of the nation's health.

I wouldn't dream of having a deep fat fryer in my kitchen. If I want chips I'll go to the professional in town and eat his chips in the street the way God intended them to be eaten.

My dad wasnt too keen on chips after they began using white butchers paper instead of newspaper.....

Its just not right i tells ya!

I have to admit i do own two fryers.....small one for chips large one for fish. Not used often but ....town .... is a very long way away.

I also have a pizza oven for exactly the same reason. Thats only used very rarely. But i also have a wok.....that permanently sits on the stove. I use that all the time.

I havent had take away or fast food in years.

No matter what you do, you can't do chips as good as in the chip shop - a cultural delicacy that Americans are totally unfamiliar with.

Them there are frozen re-constituted chips and not at all like the ones we consume from the chippy.

Your chip has to be made out of your natural potato to which nothing but a sharp knife has ever been applied.

There is nothing wrong with a decent chip, shop bought or home made. My chips are famous.

The only thing against chips is the regular addition to a well balanced diet.

Our local greasy spoon cuts the potatoes fresh, and fries them up perfect. I will have to get a picture next time we are there for dinner.
