Not just there, but here too :)

The only way to eat chips is with mayonaise or with peanut sauce...

Same here. At least five places where you can buy chips in maybe 200
meters of high street, and while some are okay, one has a reputation for
bad quality (so much that the only people who seem to buy anything there
are tourists. Killing off a few of them won't hurt anyone :)

Make some yourself... Cut some patatoes and chuck them into oil of about
180 degrees (Celsius, that is). There's slightly more to it than that, but
it shouldn't be too hard... :)
