You forgot to mention that these chips cost £2.75. I might try these on Tuesday. The pack shows no air fryer instructions, contrary to Iceland's big Spiel about air fryers a year ago.
I was born and bred in Yorkshire and brought up on cooking using beef dripping and lard. We used to spread dripping and its brown jelly on bread with a little salt, delicious.
My mother comes from a Yorkshire mining family & I loved bread & dripping (with lots of brown jelly) & a bit of proper salt….yum Sadly, Haven’t had them in years
Oh before I forget 🤔😖🤔. Once the bacon was fried and removed from the pan and nice fresh crusty bread slice was used to clean it 🫶. Also who remembers beef dripping on bread sprinkled with salt? Really lovely ❤❤ .
I live in Yorkshire Baldie! The best chippies still use beef dripping, but I don't think that all of them do. Some of them mistakenly seem to think that Vegetarians and healthy cholesterol levels are more important than tasty chips...
We know now that too much veg oil and not enough animal fats actually knackers your cholesterol balance. A certain amount of animal fat is actually good for you as long as the fat hasn't been industrially processed or hydrogenated.
On a similar matter, has anyone noticed that the only flavours of potato crisps, as we Brits call them, that are labelled as “Suitable for vegetarians” are the meat-flavoured ones? Since when was chicken, smoky bacon and beef vegetarian?
@@arthurvasey most of these supposed meat crisps actually use hydrolysed whey protein which they can manipulate to taste like meat. It is vegetarian as it comes from milk but isn't vegan. There are still a few premium crisps brands that use meat drippings for flavouring, Pipers for instance claim Longhorn Beef Extract. That could be deceptive, could it be made with milk from Longhorn cows? UPDATE : They state the following; Our English Longhorn beef flavour is produced using meat that has been dry aged for 35 days to allow for a more succulent taste. The Barkers’ at Great Berwick Organic farm use sustainable farming methods to produce the very best. Excellent, real beef flavoured crisps again after decades of crap!
Our local Chippy in Cornwall cook their Fish and Chips in beef dripping Gareth. Incidentally you mentioned Beef Dripping chips in Aldi, have you reviewed them? As i cant find it if you have. Thanks for video, brilliant as always 👍
A lot of people now are trying to stop using heavily processed oils moving to dripping, lard etc they would definitely be really annoyed myself included thanks for pointing it out
@@frankyw8803 Are you serious? How does the dripping get out of the beef? It's a process . Heat is applied and the fat leaches out,. In the exact way that "highly processed" cooking oil is made.
Gareth, I am Yorkshire born and bred and I can say that if you want your chips to be cooked in drippings or even lard you have to ask the person who is doing the cooking what they are using and the same applies to the choice of fish types that they are cooking too. I am glad to say that more fish and chip shops are displaying what they are cooking in and with, so their customers can make an informed decision about their preferences either on religious beliefs or moral values (eg, vegetarian or vegan) or in my case the taste of their foods, beef dripping all the way for me. I will even ask when was the cooking range last emptied out and cleaned before refilling with fresh fats. I’m afraid that some shops in areas of high immigration populations are focusing on dietary restrictions and not the taste of the food.
@@diamondderek848yes my chippy of choice took down the haddock bit and replaced it with the word fish,im not a fish lover but this stuff didn't taste nice,I found out they were selling pollock,why not just tell you? this way they don't lose long term customers for good like me I could have bought a shossig UPDATE wives just checked online and they are now advertising as haddock,I wonder how many customers they have lost because the queues used to be out of the door and now they are quieter,just shows us in Yorkshire vote with our feet
@@diamondderek848 If I ask for the details and they either hesitate or refuse to answer, then I’m out of the door and telling everyone that I see that they are scamming their customers. If I suspect that they are lying then I’m on the phone to trading standards/ food hygiene department of the local council. No second chances!!
This is a good point that you make. At one time I imagine all fish and chips were cooked in beef dripping (lard). That was the fat that was available. Today cooking like this may be called 'traditional'. I know that Rick Steins fish and chips in Newquay, Cornwall offers a choice of 'traditional' or vegetable oil, such a sunflower. Personally, with all the fuss about saturated fat, I feel I should go sunflower. But does the f&c taste as good?
@@NGT4LIFEwho cares about how good for you and all that tosh you can't get a decent bag of chips for love or money these days because of that piss poor veg oil
My grandmother kept a pan with beef dripping in it. Her chips were best I’ve ever tasted , never been able to replicate taste , texture and appearance .
Blocks of lard are cheap to buy, there's nothing stopping you from keeping a pan of beef dripping these days. Growing up, we kept a metal bowl in the fridge, used to keep it topped up by pouring the fat in it after cooking. Any time we wanted to cook something, we'd scrape some out the bowl to use, it'd be full of the flavors of meat juices, bacon and alsorts. I keep a block of lard in my fridge, I've been thinking about going back to the old ways of cooking.
@@tecnogof we had a ceramic bowl. It was always cool you you poured the warm juices into the bowl and next day could scrape the jelly off and put it in another bowl whilst using the beef dripping.
That could be me saying word for word about my grans chips. Cooked in beef dripping and, try as I might, I could not replicate them no matter how I tried. She emptied the fat into a container after it was cool then, cleaned the chip pan inside and out with a Brillo Pad. The fat was turned out upside down and any residue from the last chips cooked was scraped off. A ritual indeed but, oh those chips were Heaven sent, via granny Lena❤🕊️👍
I usually only use either duck fat, goose fat or mostly beef dripping to cook with. I only use beef dripping in my frier. Oils tend to need changing quite often and ends up in the rubbish. Beef dripping however? if you do get bits of batter etc floating in it. Just bring it up to heat and pour into a bowl of cold water and leave it. All the bits sink to the bottom and you end up with clean dripping on the top, which you can reuse. I think you get better crispness with dripping. Back to the chips 🤔🤔. Going back to working in my dads chippy, ( and at home), we always “ blanched” our chips first for about 8 minutes. Then just keep them to one side until needed. Don’t over blanch just until they start to turn brown. When needed, just put into the frier. They will then come out really crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Or if your an oven chip person? Lay the chips on a tray and brush a good amount of melted dripping. The advertising on these chips was a con and I wouldn’t’ waste money on them😁😖😖. Still a good review. Can’ wait to see what’s next. 👍🏻👍🏻.
I'm going to admit that I bought an airfryer after watching Gareth's channel. I binned my deep fat fryer. When I had my fryer? I always used lard or beef dripping instead of oils. To me from a chippie background? You can't beat beef dripping chips. Oil's cannot compete with dripping. They tend to make chips and batter a bit greasy and they cling to the finished product. Beef dripping fries at a higher temperature and doesn't cling to the chips or batter. I also do my Sunday ' Fry Up ' in dripping. The best bit about that is, you cook all of your items in the same pan without having to change the oil. Then get some crusty bread and mop up the juices from the pan.
Just bought an old fashioned chip pan, went out to Morrisons to buy some lard, they did not have any so I got some beef dripping. The chips are the best I have had; used maris piper potatoes and cooked them at 160C for circa 7/8 minutes. Very tasty.
My own experience with these seasoned chips has taught me to add my own seasonings and meat drippings it's much cheaper and tastier another great review pal. 👍
Excellent review Gareth. The only fish and chip shop I know ooop norf that cook in beef dripping is in Skipton. Bizzie Lizzies just by the bridge over canal in centre. Then if you have a thirst on pop into the Narrow Boat pub very nearby!
Man Beamish is amazing. I remember going once when I was 14 or 15. There were these old posters in the entrance area with creepy smiles I couldn't stop laughing at. We couldn't stay for long but we got to see some of the old town area and I was blown away by it all. It was so beautiful. I may go back soon and give those beef dripping fish and chips a try, thank you Bald Foodie Guy :)
Hi Gaz! I live in South Yorkshire and in answer to your question, not all chip shops cook their chips in beef dripping these days, a lot use vegetable oil.
They look lovely. Go really well with a decent thick cut ribeye steak, peas, tomatoes, mushrooms & peppercorn sauce….. will be trying them….Good review….👍
We love the Asda Beef Dripping chips, they are expensive at £2.75 and you don't get many but they are absolutely delicious. They taste just like Bizzie Lizzie's at Skipton (who fry in Beef Dripping also)
Hey Gaz i got the beef dripping triple cooked chips from Aldi and it says on the pack 'Beef Dripping basted triple cooked chips' and they do taste really good in my opinion mate
"basted" means applied afterwards in this context. They were not "fried in dripping" hot dripping is sprayed (basted) over them to form a coating, just like these.
The aldi ones also have sunflower oil too. The front of packs are pure lies, just go straight to the ingredients list for the truth -this goes for all products.
I lived in a chip shop in the 60's on the border between Oswaldtwistle and Church in Lancashire, it's now a Bus stop. The dripping came in boxes a foot square, the Fish came from Fleetwood in the early morning, until the Cod wars. Chips had to be blanched or the cooking times would be too long for the Mill workers lunchtime. It's a habit I still have today. Yesterdays fries for my evening steak were blanched in the morning and cooled in the fridge.
Everything's becoming too "Healthy" these days and at the cost of flavor been dumbed down significantly,Youve made me want to do my own chips now with Lard,Any recommendations chat for what Potato to use? lol
Nice, you may have a better result if cooked directly on the tray as directed on the packet so they almost fry in the beef dripping while cooking like you did in the last 5 mins.
My grandma (Yorkshire lady ) used to cook chips in lard and they always tasted amazing. Last time I had chips cooked in lard was at the Ironbridge gorge museum which has an authentic chip shop on site. They were lovely too churchie , oh yes !
Hi Gareth. . I would really appreciate your thoughts and details of the little electric oven you used in this video. As I would like too but one for myself. Thank you Gareth. I appreciate your opinion chap. Cheers old friend.🎉
Yes Keith, I like it, very handy. It's expensive to buy but it's a good one from using it for about a year. Plenty of uses from it. 329 quid off Amazon but shop around for deals. Cheers
@@BaldFoodieGuy . . Thank you so much for taking the trouble to get back to me so quickly Gareth. It looks perfect for my needs dear friend. All the best to You and Your family. XX
Hi Gareth from Spain where it is 10° colder than yesterday - have to get my long-johns out soon! Most chippies used to use a vegetable oil in solid form. It came in boxes and they would drop a chunk in most days to make up for what had gone out on the previous days food. As you said you've been had again. They used grotty potatoes, chipped them, washed them in water tainted with an OXO cube and pre-fried them, they didn't even peel them to save money.
HE'S GIVEN EVERYONE A REPLY TO THEIR COMMENT, EXCEPT YOU. I WONDER, IF IT'S TO DO WITH SPAIN WINNING IN THE WOMEN'S WORLD CUP FINAL, AGAINST ENGLAND. 🤔. I COULD BE WRONG BUT JUST WONDERING. THAT'S ALL.
Hi Gareth hope you and your family are well. When I was young, many moons ago, ALL fish shops fried in BEEF DRIPPING and they tasted first class. When veggie oils started to be used many people were not won over, but it was easier for the shops so they stuck with it. I like Rape seed oil or olive oil for frying and am very ANTI PALM OIL. All our best wishes. Don and family in Thailand. ( I am a Yorky, from near Hull )
Beef Dripping .... from Yorkshire? No, I have always lived in London and Beef Dripping means to me a Sunday dinner of roast beef and then my Mum pouring the dripping into a ceramic bowl to save in the fridge for cooking with or best of all spreading on hot toast especially the dark meaty bits at the bottom of the bowl. Oh such wonderful memories and it did me no harm as I have survived to the age of 72 years old so far and I am healthy. Bring on the dripping. 🤣❤
Great video once again Gareth..I'm from Lancashire and our local chippy (until it closed down about a month ago) always used beef dripping.Really can't understand why they closed up,always had to queue up before leaving with our goodies..always smelt amazing going home in car with them. Best chips ever
I was at Beamish the day after you were there and the queue for the chip shop was massive. Didn't have the time to wait in it. But they smelled amazing.
Good Sunday afternoon Gareth, they looked like good old fashioned tasty chippy chips 😊 To be fair, you weren't really done. Slightly mislead, maybe. I always buy a packet or carton of beef dripping from my local butchers. I add it to gravy & oven chips and Sunday roasties😊😊😊 You could have got more dripping flavour if you just put them in the tray and tossed them once or twice. Another good video 😊 Cheers Allan&Family
When I think of beef dripping I think of the roast beef my mum use to cook years ago when we were kids and the next few days we would have bread and dripping for lunch lovely the chips don’t look bad thanks for the video take care
I gave up with Iceland. Was about to buy a £1 curry on Friday until I saw that they're getting ready to knock another 50g off the meals for one on the price labels (still had some 400g ones left). Their prices for everything else are still a rip off.
There is a guy in my town that has a chip cart that only operates on a Friday. He uses beef dripping and does very well. Always a big line for it and the chips are not cheap. Good work if you can get it.
I’ve had them Gareth. I’m from Yorkshire & it’s hard to find a chippy that still cooks in Beef Dripping especially around my area, it’s normally Veg oil now. I’ve also had Aldis Roast potatoes in Duck fat, there just as good.
Hi Gareth, not sure if they were the same ones you bought, but I remember buying a bag of Beef Dripping Chips from Iceland some time ago they tasted pretty good but as you say the description on the bag is misleading.
If the sunflower oil is listed after the beef dripping, it's equal to or less than it (so 6% or less, probably less) - ingredients lists are in descending order of how much of the product they make up
Hi Gareth the chippy at greenodd used to use beef dripping to fry all its chips and fish they were delicious, certainly taste the difference from oil xx
Morning Gareth! This store (I knew as Bejam) once used to sell quality nosebag, frozen Halibut portions were a favourite, but spuds at £1.13 a pound? Thems should taste good! Fine review sir, VBW x
I’ll give you a tip , when I cook oven chips at home for the last 2 minutes I whack the oven up to max temp and it gives the chips a lovely crisp on the outside 👌
You know you’re old when you remember all fish and chip shops used lard /dripping to fry chips. Such a different taste. Yum. One fish and chip shop in Lincoln uses dripping. Best ever.
I found myself watching this again, thinking it was today's upload. I looked at the variety of frozen chips in Aldi yesterday and saw the beef dripping chips. But I decided to get the Four Seasons crinkle cut chips, which I had later. Very nice. So easy to cook in the air fryer. Frozen chips at Tesco are exorbitant.
When i was little i was watching dad make a beef dripping sandwich left from the sunday roast,i said yuk but he was a firm believer to try before you judge,and i did and it was really good,dripping with salt sandwich very nice… from a southerner😂
Will be giving these a try. Our local chippy fries their chips in beef dripping. Here On the Kent coast. Large portion will cost £4. Good review mate keep adopTion my girls to Beamish 12 years ago. Had a great time there.
My grandma lived in a miners cottage where she still cooked on a triplex range ( I think I've got that right) basically it was cooking on the open fire apart from the oven which was heated by the fire. She cooked chips in beef dripping on the open fire! They were incredible! Nothing has ever compared. But looking back how on earth did she managed never to set fire to everything!
Because she was "blessed" with common sense....watched and learned how other people did things and didn't spend her waking hours looking at a phone screen. Possibly?
@@patagualianmostly7437 I consider myself so fortunate to have been brought up in that world. It's not nostalgia to say they were better days in so many ways...
Have you tried Upton fish and chip shop , might be a bit far for you , beef dripping and coal fired range , it’s only open 2 days a week and there are usually queues , but it’s amazing, their curry sauce is a bit fiery 😊
I actually tried these,didn’t cop on they were fried in oil. I’d buy again,it used to be a 1 kilo bag,everything is getting smaller,thank you Gareth great honest review as always❤
You forgot to mention that these chips cost £2.75. I might try these on Tuesday. The pack shows no air fryer instructions, contrary to Iceland's big Spiel about air fryers a year ago.
£2.75 HOW MUCH ,after beamish try blists Hill chips they are even better unless I was hungrier being in the cold sarth
I was wondering about the price. £2.75 for 900 grams, roughly £3 per kilo. I'll give them a miss.
Beef dripping chips in heron foods, absolutely yummi, not often you can buy them due to they sell out quickly. Try them you won't be disappointed.
Harry Ramsden not bad, bút so expensive, Iceland sell these.
I imagine they'll need the same as any other chips do in the air fryer. I'm sure anyone who uses one would be able to figure that out on their own?
I was born and bred in Yorkshire and brought up on cooking using beef dripping and lard. We used to spread dripping and its brown jelly on bread with a little salt, delicious.

Last time I had chips cooked in lard was at the Ironbridge gorge museum which has an authentic chip shop on site. They were lovely too churchie , oh yes !
My local chippie is run by a Yorkshire couple who fry in lard, hell yea it's proper fish and chips
Hi Gareth. . I would really appreciate your thoughts and details of the little electric oven you used in this video. As I would like too but one for myself.
Thank you Gareth. I appreciate your opinion chap. Cheers old friend.🎉
Yes Keith, I like it, very handy. It's expensive to buy but it's a good one from using it for about a year. Plenty of uses from it. 329 quid off Amazon but shop around for deals. Cheers
@@BaldFoodieGuy . . Thank you so much for taking the trouble to get back to me so quickly Gareth. It looks perfect for my needs dear friend.
All the best to You and Your family. XX
As a child I remember dripping on toast for Monday breakfast after a Sunday roast. A sprinkle of salt on it- delicious.
Good product and another good video 👍🏼…..can’t beat Beef dripping spread on warm toast😋
You got that right!
Hi Gareth from Spain where it is 10° colder than yesterday - have to get my long-johns out soon! Most chippies used to use a vegetable oil in solid form. It came in boxes and they would drop a chunk in most days to make up for what had gone out on the previous days food. As you said you've been had again. They used grotty potatoes, chipped them, washed them in water tainted with an OXO cube and pre-fried them, they didn't even peel them to save money.
HE'S GIVEN EVERYONE A REPLY TO THEIR COMMENT, EXCEPT YOU. I WONDER, IF IT'S TO DO WITH SPAIN WINNING IN THE WOMEN'S WORLD CUP FINAL, AGAINST ENGLAND. 🤔. I COULD BE WRONG BUT JUST WONDERING. THAT'S ALL.
Can't beat home made chips in the old chip pan in beef dripping fantastic
My mum always had a bowl of beef dripping and a bowl of pork lard in the fridge. The fried bread, oh my goodness! 😋
I still have a pot in the fridge for dripping leftovers, the jelly is amazing with a meat sandwich, but I am of a certain age lol
Do you always use the bake function for chips? I would have used roast with those so they end up a bit like roast potatoes 😊
Seed oils are probably the worst things to consume
Why lol
@@highachiemytale6743nah, its really healthy. It comes from vegetables right? So use it as often as possible. Rapeseed, corn, palm, all great. 👍👍
Even worse than heroin?
@@amanwithaplaninavan heroins more fun atleast
@@robertocaba5915nonsense …they turn toxic when heated which causes inflammation.
Hi Gareth hope you and your family are well. When I was young, many moons ago, ALL fish shops fried in BEEF DRIPPING and they tasted first class. When veggie oils started to be used many people were not won over, but it was easier for the shops so they stuck with it. I like Rape seed oil or olive oil for frying and am very ANTI PALM OIL.
All our best wishes. Don and family in Thailand. ( I am a Yorky, from near Hull )
Cheers Don and family. Yes I served in the forces with a lad from Hull. He used to say ull lol
Thank you Gareth 😊 in east Yorkshire we have one local fish shop frying in beef dripping😊
I live near Driffield and I can think of several.
Beef Dripping .... from Yorkshire? No, I have always lived in London and Beef Dripping means to me a Sunday dinner of roast beef and then my Mum pouring the dripping into a ceramic bowl to save in the fridge for cooking with or best of all spreading on hot toast especially the dark meaty bits at the bottom of the bowl. Oh such wonderful memories and it did me no harm as I have survived to the age of 72 years old so far and I am healthy. Bring on the dripping. 🤣❤
Great video once again Gareth..I'm from Lancashire and our local chippy (until it closed down about a month ago) always used beef dripping.Really can't understand why they closed up,always had to queue up before leaving with our goodies..always smelt amazing going home in car with them. Best chips ever
Cheers Steven
Great review Gaz it’s strange the way they label things now a days and keep up with the great work 👏👏👍👍
Thanks 👍
I was at Beamish the day after you were there and the queue for the chip shop was massive. Didn't have the time to wait in it. But they smelled amazing.
Good advice...ALWAYS check the ingredients and info. Glad they were to your liking bud. All the best.
Cheers Adz
Saw these many times but never tried them. Will get them next time - you sold them well!!! Thanks
Glad you like them!
Every time i check there is a new video, you work so hard on this channel, I hope it continues to grow for you, I am sure it will... good job :)
Cheers pal
Good Sunday afternoon Gareth, they looked like good old fashioned tasty chippy chips 😊 To be fair, you weren't really done. Slightly mislead, maybe. I always buy a packet or carton of beef dripping from my local butchers. I add it to gravy & oven chips and Sunday roasties😊😊😊 You could have got more dripping flavour if you just put them in the tray and tossed them once or twice. Another good video 😊 Cheers Allan&Family
Thanks 👍
When I think of beef dripping I think of the roast beef my mum use to cook years ago when we were kids and the next few days we would have bread and dripping for lunch lovely the chips don’t look bad thanks for the video take care
I gave up with Iceland. Was about to buy a £1 curry on Friday until I saw that they're getting ready to knock another 50g off the meals for one on the price labels (still had some 400g ones left). Their prices for everything else are still a rip off.
The trouble is we trust what is written on the packs,as you say Gareth you can't, you have to read everything
Eazy mate, love the show, i would of thought they was done in beef dripping aswell. All the best from GRIMSBY.
Thank you
I agree Gareth, the front description is misleading.
Nothing beats Homemade deep fried chips. The price of frozen chips is going up every week yet potatoes have stayed low priced
Hi Gareth I’m in Barnsley in Yorkshire my local chippie uses beef dripping 😊
I'm in Yorkshire and some chippies do still use beef dripping.
Congratulations on 75k gaz when’s the next live to celebrate 🎉 another great video!!!
Not sure yet
There is a guy in my town that has a chip cart that only operates on a Friday. He uses beef dripping and does very well. Always a big line for it and the chips are not cheap. Good work if you can get it.
Oh very nice mate yummy 😋
I’ve had them Gareth. I’m from Yorkshire & it’s hard to find a chippy that still cooks in Beef Dripping especially around my area, it’s normally Veg oil now. I’ve also had Aldis Roast potatoes in Duck fat, there just as good.
Cheers mate, yes think they are getting fewer
Such a lovely person, your reviews are brill 👍
Hi Gareth, not sure if they were the same ones you bought, but I remember buying a bag of Beef Dripping Chips from Iceland some time ago they tasted pretty good but as you say the description on the bag is misleading.
Cheers Eric
They look tasty Gareth, i sometimes do my yorkshires in need dripping
Love chips in beef dripping adds to the flavour don't find many about now love your reviews
Thanks for watching!
A lot of manufacturers do the minimum but it allows them to tick the box....just like the dripping on these chips
Gaz youre a man of the people. Love it
Aldi ones are marked 6% beef dripping but not marked what the Sunflower oil content is? With maize starch rice flour pea flour salt and dextrose
If the sunflower oil is listed after the beef dripping, it's equal to or less than it (so 6% or less, probably less) - ingredients lists are in descending order of how much of the product they make up
Hi Gareth the chippy at greenodd used to use beef dripping to fry all its chips and fish they were delicious, certainly taste the difference from oil xx
Sounds great!
Another great video Gaz. Did I spot you in Blackpool yesterday?
No not been to Blackpool for years. Used to go as a kid.
Iceland quality has gone right down whilst the prices have gone up
Just started watching your videos, loving your reviews , what is the make of your mini oven please?
My mother always cooked her chips in beef dripping it's very old school never did us any harm 😊😊
Apart from clogging up the arteries if enjoyed too much 😂 Everything in moderation as me mam used to say.
Think when we go to supermarkets we should look at back of the packs thats fly lol.not fan skin on chips .great video 😊x
Thank you 🤗
Morning Gareth! This store (I knew as Bejam) once used to sell quality nosebag, frozen Halibut portions were a favourite, but spuds at £1.13 a pound? Thems should taste good! Fine review sir, VBW x
Cheers Glenn. Morning pal
I’ll give you a tip , when I cook oven chips at home for the last 2 minutes I whack the oven up to max temp and it gives the chips a lovely crisp on the outside 👌
You know you’re old when you remember all fish and chip shops used lard /dripping to fry chips. Such a different taste. Yum. One fish and chip shop in Lincoln uses dripping. Best ever.
I found myself watching this again, thinking it was today's upload. I looked at the variety of frozen chips in Aldi yesterday and saw the beef dripping chips. But I decided to get the Four Seasons crinkle cut chips, which I had later. Very nice. So easy to cook in the air fryer. Frozen chips at Tesco are exorbitant.
Thanks
They look rather nice pal. Have you tried Lidl deluxe beef dripping Yorkshire puddings Gareth. Out of this world 👍🏻👍🏻
All chippies used to be Beef dripping especially North half of uk 🇬🇧 there are plenty left try Bell's restaurants bfg another great Vid!!👏🤘
Thank you
I love your videos Mr. Foodie Guy ❤
We all do
Very kind thank you 😊
I was raised on beef dripping sandwiches as a kid 😄
Same ere mate.... I reckon it's an "Anywhere North of the Watford Gap" thing. Lol
Beef dripping spread on warm toast 😋
They are always telling us what to eat nowadays but I bet you are still alive after eating all those dripping sandwiches.
With a sprinkle ofsalt.
When i was little i was watching dad make a beef dripping sandwich left from the sunday roast,i said yuk but he was a firm believer to try before you judge,and i did and it was really good,dripping with salt sandwich very nice… from a southerner😂
Yorkshire born and bred and my local chippy when I was a kid only used beef dripping so that is what I grew up with and that is what I prefer.
And in Kent. Whitstable. Many years ago. I don't know about now.
Will be giving these a try. Our local chippy fries their chips in beef dripping. Here On the Kent coast. Large portion will cost £4. Good review mate keep adopTion my girls to Beamish 12 years ago. Had a great time there.
Hope you enjoy
My grandma lived in a miners cottage where she still cooked on a triplex range ( I think I've got that right) basically it was cooking on the open fire apart from the oven which was heated by the fire.
She cooked chips in beef dripping on the open fire! They were incredible! Nothing has ever compared. But looking back how on earth did she managed never to set fire to everything!
Because she was "blessed" with common sense....watched and learned how other people did things and didn't spend her waking hours looking at a phone screen. Possibly?
@@patagualianmostly7437 I consider myself so fortunate to have been brought up in that world. It's not nostalgia to say they were better days in so many ways...
Loved Harry Ramsdens theirs was always beef dripping
Have you tried Upton fish and chip shop , might be a bit far for you , beef dripping and coal fired range , it’s only open 2 days a week and there are usually queues , but it’s amazing, their curry sauce is a bit fiery 😊
Not yet!
I actually tried these,didn’t cop on they were fried in oil. I’d buy again,it used to be a 1 kilo bag,everything is getting smaller,thank you Gareth great honest review as always❤
Thanks for sharing
How do they compare with the Aldi ones?.
Thanks again, good man 😁
lidl do triple cooked beef dripping chips .... absolutely lush , Also try Icelands own cheese hash browns ... and their Chicken Tikka Kievs
