I will have to buy some too, they seem to have rave reviews on here. I usually have croquette potatoes with a glass of water! But hey we all need to splash out now and again :o

The bags are definately smaller than previous ones
So either there are 2 sizes
which according to website only one size
or they have reduced their bag size

and Rob Wolvie ate most of them! and there were some left

should see all the fat that is left in pan :oops:

I am not buying any more

5 quid for 2 bags of chips is daft :roll:


That does sound a bit steap! How much does a bag of chips from the chippy cost these days? I always think things should cost what they did when I lived in the UK - those were the days when I could get drunk on a fiver!!! Be lucky to buy more than one drink on that these days!

That sounds reasonable - I could just eat a bag of chips, no S&V though (save that for the crisps!).

Anyone remember going to the chippie and getting a bag of "batters" for nothing?

We didn't live close to a chippy :( , so that sort of thing was unfortunately not on the cards!
