Review: St Austell Brewery Tribute Beer Battered Chips

You know how it is, you have had a hard week playing Xbox 360 and getting your keys sticky when that 16.30 time comes and you need to head to the pub for a bit of reality and second-hand smoke.

And so, there we were. Seven of us, drinking beer, talking about the chicks, well, hens and that kind of thing.

Then the impasse comes..... we play the quiz machine.. twiddle our thumbs... and we all start feeling hungry. So we order some chips.

But not just any chips. These babies are new and these babies are special. The pub has the big-mini-billboards on every table:




We order two lots. They arrive. Shalom Pomme Frites!

When you expect something extraordinary and it comes and you realize that its not what you expected, there is a sinking feeling in your soul. Marriage, anal sex, holidays, freinds, fun, they all let you down when it comes to expectations. And with the St Austell Brewery Tribute Beer Battered Chips we all felt this.

Where is the batter?

Where is the beer?

Here are the chips!

And what chips they are! It dawned on us, as we munched our pint glasses full of chips, that they were exceptionally good chips. They might not be as distinct as the concept would suggest but they rock when it comes to the ranking of chips. Dont get waylaid by some traditional beer battering going on, these things are made with the help of the oven chip mafia, McCains.... but made so well....

Sensing we were munching something that was in the higher echelons of the chip fraternity we decided that these chips needed a good, hard, impartial review. We voted. We commented and this was our verdict:

8,7,9,8.5,8,8,7

Whats that on average? 8 out of 10?

If any pub in the country has better chips than these, make me a hat out of them and I'll eat it.
