I've just got back, bloody knackered and stink of chips.

Commis, I asked where he was from and he said 'round the corner'. I also asked about the cold oil being the secret, he just looked at me strange and said Dripping goes solid when its cold, then laughed. I did note he was holding some fish whilst laughing, perhaps this is the secret.

Ray, the range was brand new and had a digital read out which was great but I couldn't understand it it as it said 1:15pm ???

The rice was neither, it was a pasata, I am reliable told its made from ground bricks.

Great find UB,

I noticed that the chef wasn't Chinese, which makes me ask, is this an authentic  BFnCSs?

No doubt they make excellent food, but how authentic is it, and does it have the taste of 70/80's BFnCSs or is it very much a modern BFnCSs

 ;D

I have some ideas that I got from JC, do you have a spare Chevy V8 lying about? but my wife is concerned about the space the Range will take up in the kitchen, any ideas?

If you look carefully you can see that they do not use newspaper to wrap the chips up. This is clearly missing from what was once a good old fashioned bag of chips. The newspaper ink must be a secret ingredient of the old style chip, surely?

I think you're right.  I'm going to concentrate on making a synthetic ink.  Maybe it could be used as a spray and applied to the dish at the last minute, just to give it the 'taste'

Guys

I think Ive cracked it!

I was invited to watch my fish n chips being cooked today at my local BFnCs.

The head Chef had nipped out for a quick drag on the old fag but one of those scabby looking teenagers you see often working in these establishments offered to cook it and let me watch.

So as I watched, i had a good scan around the ingredients on the shelves,
The usual suspects where there, salt, vinegar, tins of Batchelors peas etc.

The guy cooking really didnt care what I asked him or looked at.

But I noticed this other strange tin sitting alone.

And do you know, its something one of our members posted about a while back.

On the tin it said MSG

I nearly S*** myself with excitement.

I tentatively asked the spotty one what it was.

He said the Head Chef would kill him if he heard him telling me but what the F*** Im sick of the poxy wages in here anyway.

So? I said. Tell me?

He said MSG is the Missing Secret Gredient  ;)
