What type of chip are you?

Like a hug from a parent or a hot water bottle in your bed in winter, the staple of all things good about chippers AND potatoes keeps society stable. Reliable, adaptable, shareable and comforting, it really is the king of chips.

Quick and easy, french fries are not for sharing but for indulging in selfishness. Tasty enough to be devoured on their own but also playing well with all the sauces, it really is an everyman chip. Just don't try to take one from someone without asking, unless you're looking to lose a finger.

The cooler, newer cousin to the french fry, the sweet potato fry is the hipster of chips. Usually served in a miniature trolley, hollowed out duck egg or some other nonsense instead of a basket, the sweet potato fry exemplifies the type of person who wants you to know that they're 'alt'.

The absolute notions chip that usually comes served on a piece of jewellery or stacked into the shape of a landmark and always drizzled with truffle oil. Decadent, OTT and absolutely unnecessary.

Not really a chip but also not really anything else, the humble home fry is a reliable alternative to a craving for chips in a house that can't be arsed going to the chipper or making from scratch. Lazy, cheap, cheerful and something that everyone is always happy to see.

You and your #FitFam, #Gains & #EatClean nonsense. NO ONE EVEN INVITED YOU.

All rolled up for easier placement in your mouth, the curly fry is less about taste experience and more about how many you get into your mouth as fast as possible. A solid alternative that's here for a good time, not a long time.

Your idea of 'gourmet' is adding these to your chicken fillet roll from the deli at 4am on a Saturday night. They'll make a grand breakfast in bed when you eventually wake up at 3pm on Sunday though, so fair play.
