Not Chipstix, they're maize, aren't they? I mean those sort of potato matchstick jobs.
The finest crisps ever, they are called Potato Sticks, rather imaginatively.Quote:

I perfected the art of the sweet potato chip in the last 12 months. The secret is parboil them first, dust them with icing sugar and then fry at 200 degress C until beautifully crisp.Quote:

And, naturally, not one of them is as good as a bad potato chip. :-(
EDIT: Cornflour, obviously. Not fvcking icing sugar. I think I've got the early onsets.
Thanks i, but I'm afraid I boycott all Australian and New Zealandish goods. Because they're absolute ****s to a man. Ill-mannered louts with ridiculous accents. I'm not giving them my money.Quote:

A brain fart of some sort. I've no idea why I wrote icing sugar. Purely because of the association with dusting, I suppose.Quote:

Manuka? New Zealand? I know gornisht from honey.Quote:

I don't know many Chileans tbf. But Alexis is a bit of ****
What is wrong with the Greeks, btw? Imagine having the wherewithal and climate to grow grapes and still not manage to produce a single drinkable wine.Quote:

It's true, I can't cope with 14% clarets during the week any more. Anything more than a bottle and I get a hangover :-(Quote:

I would like to make it abundantly clear to you and the rest of AWIMB that I am nothing like the French, the spicks or the eyeties.Quote:

I'm afraid that would mean asking someone to go to Swanley for me. And there isn't anyone at the office I hate that much. :-(Quote:
