Why are British chips so soggy and disgusting? Just like the UK, Australia loves chips. But our chips are different. Australian hot chips are thicker and larger than French fries, but we fry them until they are golden, crispy, and delicious.On the other hand, British chips are extremely sad. They're soggy, mushy, and barely even look fried. A crispy Australian style chip with tomato sauce and chicken salt is infinitely better than a soggy, limp British chip drowned in vinegar and mushy peas.
Double fat fry vs boil+fry most likely
>>22159814I'm not fighting, I'm briddish (as you big black cock lovers say) - I agree that soggy chips are dogshit. I don't get it. But I will admit that North Atlantic white fish shits all over their inferior selection. Our batter is usually better as well.
>>22159893I've seen you on here many times before complaining about British chips and you really are a plonker. British chips vary, same as they do in Australia, so I agree with >>22159814 you are an even bigger prat for trying to start a UK vs Auz D&C thread with your stupid schoolboy opinion.
>>22159814This lowers my opinion of Candians somewhat
>>22158459They are literally exactly the same.You get some shitty mushy chips in Australia too.
>eaten crispy british chips and eaten sad soggy british ones>eaten crispy aussie chips and eaten sad soggy aussie ones>eaten crispy irish chips and eaten sad soggy irish ones>Conclusion: A lot of people in many different countries both know and do not know how to do something as simple as cook chips
Aussie chips are usually thinner than UK chips. Normally around 1cm x 1cm, closer to what Americans would call fries. (Not McDonald's fries.. more like KFC fries)The UK seem to like chunkier chips, 2cm x 1cm or bigger. Closer to what we would call steak fries or wedges.We have British and Irish Chippers in Australia and they usually hand-cut their chips and they are shorter and fatter than Aussie chips. Perhaps they use a different type of potato

>>22159814Shut the fuck up Canadian, did you think you were being sly?You lost some serious Maple Syzzat with that shit you poomoose.
Australian fish and chips is better cause we have crab claws, calamari rings, potato scallops, spring rolls, chicken salt, and we remember the fucking lemon slices.
>>22160464Fish and chip shops do the chunky chips in Australia btw. You're wrong if you think they use those piddly fast food chips.
>>22158459Better over this side of the ditch mate. You don't have Blue Cod.
wedges with sauer cream and sweet chirry is the only way to go.do you guys like your sour cream and sweet chilli mingling in the same bowl or in separate bowls?
>>22162544>>22162545>>22162558>>22162567This D&C thread got to page 10 and was ready to die but you took the bait.Perhaps you are all the same anon who tried to start another UKvsOZ bait thread and got caught out?
>>22162645Weewaaa weeewaaa the board police are hereHow did your jannie application go champ?

>>22158459Love me soggy chips with loads of viniger.
>>22158459Australians are British (t. Australian), but there are legitimate cultural differences. One of them is just that in the UK they genuinely prefer sloppy chips.I found the same thing in South Africa. They literally call them "slap chips", which is pronounced like "slop" and means "limp". That's just the way they like them. They're as gross as you would expect, but they have a really nice kind of fish called snoek (rhymes with "book") which is full of bones and apparently parasites at the wrong time of year, but it tastes great.The Australian preference for crispy chips might be a fairly recent thing. This is just anecdotal but I feel like all fish and chip shops had sloppy chips until maybe 2010, when some of the better ones started making more "pub style" chips. But maybe I was just going to bad fish and chip shops. I honestly can't even eat there any more, I feel horribly unwell every time afterwards and I don't know why.
>>22164917The soggyness of chips in England is being exaggerated here. As a kid in the 90s, every fish and chip shop made chips like OP's pic. Then Greeks started buying fish and chip shops, and they started buying different chips. Then Chinese started buying them, and they started using chips that looked like they were from the supermarket. I miss the days when they'd wrap it in newspaper or that grey wrapping paper. Now they give it to you in a cardboard box. Haven't been to a fish and chip shop in person for years, I don't even want to think about who's running my local one now.
