Scottish chippies have been superior to ours in England for as
long I can remember, with only a few exceptions. I remember my first
visit there in 1969; there was one place in my home town of Leicester
that could match what any chip shop there could do routinely.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Â </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't know exactly what caused the difference, but increasingly
from the 60s onward English chip shops were increasingly run by people
who weren't of British Isle origin, and obviously had their own ideas
as to what did and didn't make a good fried spud. They remained
"indigenous" in Scotland a lot longer. That said, the chips that the
various Algerian/Lebanese/Syrian whatever kebab shops sell are usually
much better than the fish and chip shops for some reason.</div>
