Put in the context of Mars Bars and Rubiks Cubes... Sorry for lowering the tone everyone!!

Belgian fritjes, when made properly and in context are great, but go anywhere else and the chips are just total shit. In Greece they were all very much like your average McDonalds processed essence of potato fries and utterly woeful. Uk and Ireland do splendid chips as we know, but why has Europe not embraced the love of chips? I don't buy into the whole "we're too cultured for chips", they are the ultimate convenience food! Much as we in the UK have learnt to love Italian food (it's my favourite type of cuisine bar none), I feel it's a small gesture, tip of the cap if you will, for the Italians withtheir passion for food, to do decent chips!!

Nothing beats a chip butty and deep in your heart of hearts you know this. I take umbrage with the fact that you use this lovely flowery language to make me dribble copious amounts of saliva into my keyboard, make me hungry with the descriptions of the ingredients and malancholy for the sense of place achieved using just one other sensory inlet. So I put it to you sir, that you just call a spade a gardening implement and do the right thing. You go to Italy, you get your fantastic sounding bread, and you make us an Italian chip butty. Go on, DARE you... Go on... I'll allow the tomato sauce to be red pesto too if it makes you feel any better... Norm P.S. Just kidding mate, sounds like an AWESOME sanger! :) Alright Simon
