Has anyone ever had chips from Hull? Hull is fucking awesome. They've got wrong-coloured phoneboxes. They're the only city in Great Britain with non-red phoneboxes. That's how to be an awesome city. You can produce as many Smiths and Oasises as you like, chips and interesting telephone boxes are the way forward.

I've not been to Hull, but the chips thing interests me. I'm curious to know what they do that we aren't because i had a bag of chips yesterday and they were pretty terrible. Sort of soggy, which isn't what I want from a chip. At all. I don't want the thin French fry version either but I like their crunchiness. Ideally I want the crunch of the French fry transferred over to the fatness of the chip shop style. McCain Oven Fries get the balance right, but I refuse to endorse frozen oven chips.
I do genuinely think that London's lack of interest in applying curry sauce to its chips is a real problem. I suspect that the Hull chip has a firmness able to take such a sauce that, if poured over London sog would reduce it even further into mere mush.
Tell me more about chips in Hull. Seriously.
