Outdoor Deep Frying

[webbaldo]

Some background info first!

Im quite lucky I think to live in the North East, we have miles of lovely northumberland coast and alot of countryside attractions, including Beamish.

Anyway, you may or may not have seen the Brick by Brick program last week

I've got a season ticket to beamish (live 5 mile away) and everytime I go, the queue for the chippy is rediculous. Anyway 2 weeks ago, by chance the queue was smaller so I thought sod it.

The chips/fish are fried in beef dripping in a 1920's coal fired fryer, then wrapped in newspaper



I got fish dab and chips (half a fish) and its some of the best i've ever had! (Wife's pictured)

We normally dont fry much food, mainly cause of the smell which coats everything. BUT with my normal gas bbq having a ring burner, im gonna try chip pan-beef dripping proper chips the next time the weather allows it (probs june by now!) And serve in our local rag lol.

Anyway will post pics and story when it actually happens.

Originally from Oop North myself and fond memories of Beamish, cooking with beef drippin brings back memories of nanna and grandad.....grandads bubble and squeak and nanna's roast pot's

yep!, the outdoor location will avoid smells and reduce fire risk as well!

I always do chips on the side burner of the bbq to keep the small out of the house
