Plant based chips?

Reverend

Chips cooked in beef fat are the best chips.

Or how about the oddest regional chip shop thing I encountered, definitely northern this time - Chip Bap Pea Wet.   This involves pouring the left over juice of the mushy peas over your chips!!

gotta be Wigan that..

I was in Bolton at the time.

Just remembered another old factoid.  Apparently horse fat makes the best chips.

I wonder if the chip shops in Hadfield (the location of Royston Vasey, in the Midlands) uses dripping?

FFS Hadfield is not in the Midlands. It's a few miles from Manchester.

I don't think I've ever seen a fat horse.

I just had chips for lunch, with a tin of mushy peas. Not only was that based on plants, but in about an hour or so, my piss will be vivid yellow/green.

That's plants for you.

The horse thing came from a book I read many years ago where one of the chapters is about the search for the perfect chip

The fact that this thread is so long and some music threads die on their bums reminds me of why I left tfb for so long.

As a veggie I fully understand what "Plant based" means when I see it on a product, and it annoys me that it's a marketing term which has replaced the former and also perfectly well understood, Vegetarian & Vegan.  However this annoyance pails into insignificance when I see that this thread has run for almost 10 feking pages of this nonsense.  If you eat meat you don't care what they are cooked in and if you don't eat meat, you are likely to pay more attention.   Now, can we close this down and move back to arguing about toasters?

Dualit for the win, obviously.

A good toaster has to be able to toast 4 slices of proper size bread - Mother's Pride, as well as doorstop thick slices, at the same time, with at the minimum browning controls for each pair of slices.

It also has to be able to toast ''baps''.

But preferably not Mothers Pride which is not real bread, full of "flour improvers" and who knows if it's even plant based!

I'd agree with you if you could name a toaster that could handle a whole stottie cake... mmmmmm, stottie.
