The Official French Fries Pages
French Fry Danger! Chip Pan Fires!
UK Home Office Warns of
Potential Disaster!
We thought French Fries were benign! A tasty French Fry would never hurt anyone! Or so we thought. Then we saw this from Her Majesty's Home Office (a department sort of like the US Department of the Interior, except it has a different name and isn't in the US):

This leaflet clearly demonstrates a very good reason to buy a temperature-controlled cooking unit, and we'd probably recommend one brand or another if the manufacturers would simply sponsor the site and send us a unit to review. Even better would be a totaly fair review of various cookers/fryers (each supplied by the manufacturer, along with some discretionary general sponsorship which we promise would have no bearing on the outcome of the results -- really -- unless that's the dealbreaker). The Select Ware Laboratories Culinary & Food Technology Division is in desperate need of some new lab equipment.
The British government copyrights just about everything (even British money has a copyright notice on it), and since we're so careful not to tread on the copyrights of others (not only have ours been violated, but we'd also really hate to have the Queen of England sue us since she probably has much better things to do and certainly has a lot more money than we do), we went to extraordinary lengths to obtain approval to reproduce this flyer on our site (but not, we repeat, NOT, any sort of endorsement of this site on the part of Her Majesty's government or Her Majesty herself or her family, although maybe they like French Fries if you call them "chips"). Our next UK goal: an interview with a French Fry- (chip-)loving member of the British royalty. Our more realistic next goal: How chips are made in the UK and a full experiment on the "Chip Butty".
