National Chip Week Launches
Though the Belgians and Dutch do a better job with chips (aka French fries) — we like them crispy, you know — the Brits love their chips.
This week is National Chip Week in England. To celebrate, the British Potato Council’s Love Chips website has gobs of fun facts, games, and a bit of history. The site also features a series of classic films re-created by the spuds themselves. As the Sun reports (because reporting on short films starring French fries is, you know, part of being a crack journalist):
Chip-lovers can watch Jack and Rose sail the ‘Titanchip’, Goose and Maverick’s dogfight in ‘Top Chip’, James Bond face the ketchup laser in ‘Chipfinger’ and Sally get naughty in ‘When Sally Got Saucy’.
Though that all sounds a bit too reminiscent of Be Kind Rewind (which I haven’t seen because I’m sure it sucks), Titanchip (I never saw the original, either, because I’m sure it also sucks) is quite gripping. Especially with some malt vinegar.
