Salt and pepper chips

“On a day where I ate three portions of chips, technically for work, but mainly for pleasure, it’s the ones from Lucky Dog that I’ve found myself having hazy, chilli oil-laden daydreams about. They’re salt and pepper chips. Salt and pepper chips are, like the parmo, a gastronomic gift from the north of England that decreases your life expectancy but increases your enjoyment of life exponentially. They’re chips, deep-fried, then pan-fried with chilli oil, dried Sichuan chillis, white onion, pepper, shredded carrot, and MSG. Best enjoyed on a Brick Lane doorstep, but just as good inhaled whilst walking, on the bus, or at home.”
