No, to English or Welsh chip-shop chips. The salt-and-sauce I don't mind, but Scottish chips are uniformly awful.
Couldn't disagree more. I've lived in the north of Scotland, the north of England and now I'm in the South of England. Here has pansiest chips of the lot, nevermind the shops at the beach in Bournemouth whose chips feel like they've been fried by English willpower alone.
Well horses for courses I guess. Chips is the south aren't great and you take your chances on pensioner beach, but you don't like north of England chips? I'd rate those as the best. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Northern chips are fine. I was strongly disagreeing with the notion that Scottish chips are the worst.
Where in Scotland were you? Quality varies everywhere in the UK I find but if you want a proper good chippy either go to a real Italian chippy or one of the Fife village chippies.
Mostly Glasgow & Edinburgh, intrigued by the "Italian chippie", that's the same priciple as the "Italian cafe" I guess (ex POWs who hung around to provide the locals with decent food) used to be so common in London, now mostly gone; thanks for the tips :-)
There are just a lot of chippies run by Italian families, particularly in Glasgow. As a general rule they tend to be better than most chippes. The often have Italian names, are family run and do pizza & pasta as well as chip shop food.
The Merchant Chippy in Merchant City, Glasgow. Not a finer chip has been fried.
