😄 I remember those: brown paper and that whitish white-ish soft paper on the inside at the corner-café. Heehee! The shOPs 😁.

[@Whats4chow]

Yup, that's the stuff..... thanks for watching!

The term "Greasy Greek" hailed from this cost saving practise.

Hey Bruce.... hahaha, yup I remember that -- thanks for watching!

Wow that looks delicious. I personally add crushed chili for a spicy flavor and a mayonnaise dip. Bon Appetit.

Any way you like..... thanks for watching!

Trevor, how are you? Hoping you are getting back and strong again. Good old SA slap chips are the best.

Hi from the Netherlands. Ooo you make me lekker homesick. I will tackle some Dutch spuds and make slap tjips. Haha my wife doesn't get the concept. Frietjes must be crisp.

[@Whats4chow]

Hi, I think you have to taste them to get the concept.... then you're hooked! Thanks for watching!

I have ALWAYS cooked chips that way. Before living in the Republic and afterwards. You cut the chips, heat the oil until it seems hot enough and then cook the buggers. Warm skyfies and Slap Chips are usually only different names for the same thing in reality depending on the cafe. But the historic difference is interesting. (Love your videos though. They are all Lekker)

Hi Kevin, thanks for your input, and thanks for watching!

[@MattBrunton1965]

Quite a lot of UK chipshops seem to serve their chips like this, I presumed it was because they were just not cooked for long enough, but as you say, it could be to make the oil last longer.

Hi Matt, thanks for the feedback.... thanks for watching!

[@MattBrunton1965]

My pleasure, found your distilling uploads and stayed for all the other great content 👍

[@peterdewberry3082]

Thanks for the history lesson and demonstration, but for me crispy is best.

[@Whats4chow]

Hi.... yup, me too -- I must say I do prefer authentic crispy French fries, however these do have their place in the sun! Thanks for watching!

[@brucedownunda7054]

Limp French Fries..... should be a hit in the UK

[@Whats4chow]

Hahaha..... give it a try --- thanks for watching!
