he BBQ sauce with mango, and mildly spiced with jalapeno peppers the all new Brazilian Style BBQ Sauce from Crucials and it certainly has some zing to it!

June – Summer is here let’s make the most of it

W Austen Dack Publishing Editor

hether it’s a scorcher or a wet one the holiday season is nearly upon us. It is time to make the most of every opportunity and make hay whilst the sun hopefully shines. Once again this month we highlight some tremendous examples from partnerships across this amazing industry. My favourite has to be the tremendous recent promotion for fish and chips (or one and one as it is known) by the Irish Traditional Italian Chipper Association (ITICA). In one incredible day they served over 200,000 portions of fish and chips between them (180 members), and once again

organised a brilliant platform to promote our favourite dish. Ye Olde Oak have teamed up with Crucial Sauces to make the most of the Brazilian fervour by offering their great hot dogs alongside cup winning BBQ sauces from the Midlands. Plus we have special reports from Norge (Ritz & 99p days) and the wonderful KFE Ball too. Enjoy the read and don’t forget to contact me at austen@chippychat. co.uk if you have any news, PR or would like to become a partner. Austen Dack

Duo Bid for

Festival of Fish and Chips Skegness could become the first place in the UK to give the country’s beloved national dish of fish and chips its very own festival.

on Grubb the former chairman of Visit Lincolnshire, is hoping to launch The Skegness Fish & Chips Festival along with David Lambert from Cultural Solutions next year. And the duo have already applied to the Coastal Communities Fund for more than £250,000 of funding, an amount that they feel can help secure the festival for at least four days. Jon said: “Everyone loves fish and chips – it’s a part of our heritage that crosses age, social and cultural boundaries – and yet there is no event to celebrate them. “It’s time we put that right and I can’t think of anywhere better placed as the home of such a festival then the East Coast. “This county grows many of the nation’s potatoes and its peas and traditionally landed the fish in the north of the county. Skegness even sports The Jolly Fisherman as its mascot. If successful then Chippy Chat will work alongside David and Jon to make sure that it goes with a bang and we receive maximum results from the event. Austen Dack Chippy Chat Editor says “We’ve spoken to the team behind the event

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014

to offer our help, and become a partner too, there are lots of ways we can help make this festival a fantastic experience.” Although still in its early stages, a whole range of ideas for the event has already been put forward. These include a regional Battle of the Batters, as well as a series of debates and public taste tests to find the nation’s favourite potatoes, cooking oils and types of fish. David Lambert who was very pleased with our input said “If the powers that be see the golden opportunity of having the UK’s first Fish and Chips Festival along the Lincolnshire Coast, then we look forward to working with ‘Chippy Chat’ on ensuring the whole country gets to celebrate our national dish. Next to the Queen there is possibly no other British icon with a higher, international profile. And with it comes a level playing field so many other arts and cultural events would give and arm and a leg to have. When it comes to demographics, Fish and Chips hits every audience segmentation, and therefore offers Lincolnshire an audience base not rivalled since the 2012 Olympics!

with half-price ‘one and one’ This month in our chip shop(s) abroad feature we look at ITICA in Ireland. They are a passionate group of chippers who are held together by their roots and some great core values.

M The new ‘Face of ITICA’ Jessica Rodriguez helped to officially launch this year’s National Fish & Chip Day.

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014

ore than 200,000 people visited their local chipper to celebrate the fifth National Fish & Chips Day On Wednesday 28th May 2014 , according to the Irish Traditional Italian Chippers Association (ITICA), which introduced the occasion five years ago. Over 160 ITICA members throughout Ireland took part by offering half price fish and chips to their customers for the day. “It’s been an incredible five years since we formed ITICA,” said association chairman Peter Borza. “This year’s ITICA National Fish & Chips Day was without doubt our most successful ever; we have built on the solid foundation of the last 5 years and delivered a memorable and fun day to all of our members customers”. “Our media campaign hit tv, radio and social media from April onwards and created a great “buzz” around the day. Each year our members put in a huge effort, a massive amount of preparation goes into this day in every shop and full credit goes to the owners and staff for making this years ITICA National Fish & Chips Day such a huge success.” “ Aside from half price fish and chips we gave away thousands and thousands of instant prizes including a brand new Fiat 500 in Libero’s in Deansgrange! Many thanks go to all of our member outlets and of course to our wonderful customers that make the whole thing worthwhile.” ITICA was created to promote and build on the traditional values and ethos of the Irish Italian chipper community, which was started in the 1880s by immigrants from a group of small villages in Val Di Comino in southern Italy. All member chippers carry the official ITICA logo (right). Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014

About ITICA

The Irish Italian chipper culture was started by members of the Irish Italian community. The history of the Irish Italian community goes back to origins when Italians arrived in Ireland in the 1880s. All members of this community come from the villages in Val Di Comino in Southern Italy. These families bore the names well-known at the local chipper today. The Irish Traditional Italian Chipper Association was formed to celebrate the unique identity of the traditional Italian chippers in Ireland and to mark the contribution we have made to the community. All ITICA outlets are owned by Irish Italians who are as proud of their heritage as they are committed to preserving the hard earned reputation for serving the best fast food in Ireland.

ITICA Core Values

Freshly cut chips are the only chips we serve Our customers will be treated courteously and efficiently All meals will be prepared to the highest food safety standard Our shops will be maintained to the highest standard Our shops remain a safe and welcoming environment We will support ITICA promotional activities

Farnham Makes it Three for Papa John’s Franchisee Papa John’s, has announced franchisee Jay Singh has opened his third Papa John’s store. The latest opening, on East Street in Farnham, will employ up to 18 staff to deliver pizza to the Hampshire town and surrounding area.

“F

or seven years, I worked for one of Papa John’s leading franchisees and in 2010 I was able to buy my first store in Basingstoke,” explains Jay Singh. “Because of my experience, running my first Papa John’s was straight forward. Since then I have opened Andover and now Farnham. Jay Singh puts his success down to: “belief in the Papa John’s brand and its concept of ‘fresh ingredients, better pizza’ and employing some great staff. Training is also key, particularly where there has been a lot of recruitment with the new opening. Next year I have plans to open a further outlet and after that, who knows where it could end?” Papa John’s is one of the largest pizza companies in the world, with more than 4,450 stores worldwide and is rapidly expanding in 34 markets around the

globe. Papa John’s, which is renowned for its product quality, has opportunities for potential franchisees throughout the UK including the key locations of the South East, Yorkshire, Manchester, West Midlands, East Midlands, South West, North East, Wales & Scotland.

De-Duct clean up at Merchants! The ducting and extraction system which serves a frying range is designed to take out smoke, grease vapours, steam and cooking residues from the kitchen to the outside.

f they are not cleaned on a regular basis, grease and debris can quickly build up creating a very serious fire hazard, which in turn can cause thousands of pounds worth of damage, loss of earnings and often lengthy insurance claims. If you are looking for a reliable company to come and do this vital work for you then look no further than De-Duct. Based in the Midlands but with Nationwide coverage De-Duct offer a fast, friendly and reliable service, that promises to meet your business’ requirements. They aim to respond to any enquiry promptly and will be happy to arrange a free on-site meeting to discuss your individual needs. Their comprehensive cleaning can also help to lower your insurance premium! Merchants Fish and Chip Shops have been using De-Duct to service their ducts across five of their sites and we spoke to Mike Jordan at Merchants to ask him what they look for from a duct maintenance company and why he uses De-Duct.

How often are each of your sites visited?

Some of this is down to how busy each individual shop is, but they are all cleaned at least every 9-12 months. De-Duct will know when each service is due so they will call to arrange. 16

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014

Why choose De-Duct for the job? All of their staff are trained to the highest standard and have the most recent and relevant qualifications. They will always work around our business’ needs ensuring that they are there for a time & day that suits us. Once the extraction and ducting has been cleaned, a certificate of compliance is issued together with a post clean report containing photographs of the ducting before and after cleaning. Anyone applying for a new insurance policy will generally find their insurance refused unless they can meet standard duct cleaning requirements.

What are their prices like at De-Duct?

They will beat any like for like quote, and because they look after five of our shops we receive a very good deal indeed whilst maintaining a quality service. It is a good idea to try to team up with some of your neighbouring shops to get an even better quote.

Would you recommend De-Duct to others?

Yes of course they are punctual, thorough and great people to work with. You can call De-Duct on 0121 288 1989 or 07806 487 239 to arrange an onsite visit. Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014

The Ritz and 99p Thousands of hungry Brits flocked to 99 fish and chip shops throughout the country on Saturday 17th May to pick up a portion of delicious Norwegian cod and chips for just 99p. The promotion was held in celebration of Norway Day in the UK, thanks to a campaign run in partnership with the Norwegian Seafood Council.

he offer of 99p cod and chips meant that over 40,000 fish and chip fans across the country were able to get into the Norway Day spirit by buying a portion in one of 40 regions, and many shops sold through their 400 99p portions in a matter of hours. Great news too is over 188 million people read about the campaign or heard it on the radio through 270 media articles achieved on the campaign. A total of 16 tonnes of sustainably caught Frozen At Sea Norwegian cod was gifted to the 99 participating fryers by Norwegian fishing vessels, the Ramoen, Atlantic, Andenesfisk, Geir, Frøyanes and

Granit, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian constitution. Andrew Cook, from Skippers Fish Bar in Exton, told us: “It was absolutely fantastic. We served over 800 portions and completely sold out of every bit of fish in the shop. We have has great feedback too, some people had not had fish and chips for a while so loved the offer. I have spoken to other shops that took part and they all commented on what a success it was.” The campaign kicked off in style on Friday 16th May with a Brit-infused Norwegian celebration at The Ritz London. Guests of honour, Monica Mæland, the

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014

Cod and Chips Norwegian Minister of Trade and Industry, and Kim Traavik, Norwegian ambassador to the UK, spoke about the history and the importance of trading relations between the UK and Norway, alongside award winning seafood restaurateur and campaign ambassador, Mitch Tonks who spoke about the importance of sustainable fish used in the restaurant industry. For this event, the NSC joined forces with Innovation Norway and Norwegian coastal cruise specialist Hurtigruten, to provide a showcase of the very best seafood from the Norwegian Fjords and Seas, accompanied by best-of-British ingredients. Guests enjoyed their own portion of Norwegian cod & chips, (we did ask Ritz executive chef John Williams for his batter recipe, but he refused) the delectable delights of Red King crab and paid homage to old chippy favourites such as pickled quails eggs and a mushy pea velouté.

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014

Jack-Robert Møller, UK Director for the NSC, comments: “Norway Day is a significant date in the Norwegian calendar and to be able to celebrate with fish and chip lovers across the UK was important to us, and really made an impact commemorating the bi-centenary of our constitution. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of the distributors who helped make this campaign possible and of course the fish and chip shop owners, who all worked so hard to make this a success.”

Getting to grips with

grease and odours

The mouth-watering smell of fish and chips often attracts customers in to the shop, but it can also create problems for neighbours and the environment particularly in densely populated areas. Dr David Glover, Managing Director of Plasma Clean discusses odour control solutions which are available for food outlets including fish and chip shops.

Dr David Glover, Managing Director of Plasma Clean

If we walk down any high street, the number of food outlets is on the increase and we are easily able to access food from all four continents from the myriad of takeaways, pubs and restaurants. There is a fantastic choice for the consumer, but this can lead to complaints arising from neighbours due to unwanted cooking smells particularly in densely populated areas. Environmental Health and Local Planning Officers are tasked with advising, approving and policing kitchen exhaust ventilation in line with best practice guidance published by DEFRA in 2005 and 2010. Any new food outlet must comply with this guidance in order to get planning consent, and any existing establishment must ensure that the emissions do not become a nuisance to neighbouring properties. One recent example I have seen concerned a high street fried chicken outlet which had operated for over thirty years, but then

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014

received complaints from residents occupying a newly built apartment block. As a result the local council quickly served a notice on the owners to rectify the situation or cease trading. Luckily there is a range of grease, odour and smoke control solutions available including activated carbon filters, electrostatic precipitators and advanced oxidation technologies such as ozone injection and UV-C. However it is important to choose the correct equipment after all a pizza takeaway will not have the same grease issues as a Chinese. Activated carbon is probably the best known form of odour control as it has been around for the longest. This acts like a sponge to absorb gaseous odours, but its performance drops over time and so requires changing every 3-6 months when the odours begin to break through. A common misconception is that activated carbon stops grease, but in fact grease in the kitchen exhaust air significantly reduces the performance of activated carbon. This is because it coats the surface and stops the gaseous odours being absorbed – imagine dipping a sponge into oil and then using the same sponge to soak up water, it just won’t be as effective as a clean sponge, and what a mess! So it is important to pre-filter air to thoroughly remove grease if using activated carbon. As well as requiring regular Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014

maintenance, activated carbon is heavy and bulky, and has significant ‘back pressure’ because it sits inside the ductwork and so needs more fan power to push the air through it – you will have to use more energy to power the fan or fit a bigger fan. Again, imagine blowing through a straw, and then stuffing the straw with some tissue. This will require more ‘puff’ to blow through...try it for yourself! From our experience, and in line with DEFRA best practice guidance, it is vital to remove grease particles first followed by gaseous odours, and by far the most effective way of doing this in a fish and chip shop is by combining an ElectroStatic Precipitator (ESP) with UV-C light. ESPs have a low back pressure and work by ionising and trapping 95% of the grease and smoke particles onto washable collector cells; the air then passes through a set of ozonating UV lamps which attack any residual grease particles and the odours by a combination of UV-C light and ozone.

INNOVATIVE, CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS FOR GREASE, ODOUR AND SMOKE CONTROL

The correct equipment choice is vital for the smooth running of your fish and chip shop Not only will this combination clean the air, but by removing the grease it will reduce the grease build up in the ductwork after the equipment and so reduce duct cleaning costs. The correct equipment choice is vital for the smooth running of your fish and chip shop, from the choice of frying range to odour control equipment. The correct choice on day one will help to keep your business in line with DEFRA guidance and will keep your neighbours, the EHO and your customers happy, leaving you to get on with cooking the best tasting fish and chips.

‘Field to Frier’ The Suppliers!

In association with

A message from Oliver Boutwood Director Isle of Ely Produce

o you’ve seen the film, visited the farm and entered the award (National Fish and Chip Awards). Now it’s your chance to really get involved! This month we launch ‘field to frier’ the suppliers. These suppliers will be working alongside us to promote good practice in the supply of potatoes to the chipping trade. We will work and list in all geographic areas across the UK to give you a great choice (and price) for the product you need specific to your shop(s). We will also feature these suppliers to give you a greater understanding of how they can help you achieve the best chips. Alongside this feature we will also highlight the farms where the potatoes were grown and also some key shops where they are cooked and served. We hope Field to Frier will grow into a really useful tool for the trade and also help deliver a message to the consumer of accountability.

Potato News 2013 Crop

The beginning of June has seen adequate supplies with a slow demand. This put free-buy prices under pressure as growers wish to clear remaining stocks. With a wide range of prices reflecting the frying qualities, strong demand was seen for the very best Markies and Agria. Stocks of Maris Piper, Ramos and Challenger were mainly exhausted as cleaning and pressure bruising issues have forced samples into the processing market.

Say potato, say

MSC chef of the year 2014

Winner: Raymond Blanc OBE Few chefs have done more to highlight the cause of sustainable seafood over the past 20 years and Raymond Blanc’s recent ‘Inspector Raymond Investigates’ animations brought the issue to thousands of university students, chip shop customers and fellow restaurateurs.

MSC university of the year 2014

Winner: University of Greenwich Over 30 universities got involved with the ‘Raymond Investigates’ series, but none more so that Greenwich. Their active engagement involved internal marketing and social media marketing including a blog post, facebook and twitter promotion. 34

Would you like an autograph with that? Spike Milligan was once asked what the quickest way to get rich and famous was; he answered “Rob a bank”. Maybe a more law abiding option is to work in the fast food trade. For Example... Queen Latifah: Singer/ Actress

Eva Mendes: Actress/Model/Singer

It makes sense that the Queen would want to join the king. So she started out at Burger King at the age of 15.

Eva couldn’t wait to get her worker’s permit at the age of 15, and started working at a mall lemonade stand called Hot Dog on a Stick. She says she had a great time, but admitted she wasn’t very good at it.

Macy Gray: Singer Not only did Macy work at McDonald’s, she shot a commercial for them as an accomplished singer. There’s loyalty!

Fred Durst: Singer A morning shift employee at a local McDonalds before becoming famous as the frontman of Limp Bizkit.

Gwen Stefani: Singer Gwen worked at a local Dairy Queen, scooping ice cream with the best of them.

Pink: Singer A singer with a bit of attitude may have developed her edge while working at McDonald’s. Pink says she still has nightmares about ending up back behind the counter with a forced smile plastered on her face.

Stacey Solomon: Singer T.V. Presenter Stacey served up fish suppers in a Essex chippy. She admitted: “I had to wear an orange shirt with the shop’s funny name on it - the Oh My Cod.

Andie MacDowell: Actress Andie MacDowell was a good daughter and had jobs at both McDonald’s and Pizza Hut to help out with family bills.

There’s a girl w ork dow shop sw n the c ears sh hip e’s Elvis ’ daugh ter

Agyness Deyn Super Model/Actress Deyn’s working life started at a fish and chip shop in Stubbins. In the film Clash of the Titans, Deyn played Aphrodite, Greek goddess of beauty, love, and sex. Amazing what a job in a chippy can lead to.

James Franco: Actor Franco dropped out of school and took up a job at a McDonald’s drive-thru, where he practiced his foreign accents on women customers.

Eva Longoria: Actress Ms Longoria worked at Wendy’s fast food joint for six years. Eva promotes humanitarian causes and was named Philanthropist of the year. Bet she gave extra fries.

Sharon Stone: Actress/Model Before Sharon became model and actor extraordinaire, she paid her dues working behind the counter of a local McDonald’s.

Madonna: Singer/Actress/Model Madonna worked at a local Dunkin Donuts before becoming one of the biggest singers in the history of modern pop music.

Lisa Marie Presley: Singer After moving to England, in Sept 2012 Lisa Marie spent a day working in a mobile fish and chip van to help her feel ‘immersed into local life’. You go girl!

Seventy Five Years In The Valleys Margaritelli’s the only remaining fish and chip shop in Ferndale , Rhondda Fach, has been trading for over 75 years and has been using Frymax since its launch in 1954.

he current owner, Mrs Ilda Margaritelli , started working in the shop in 1948 and in 1950 she and her husband bought it from her brother- in -law Mr Serafino Pesci. The shop is now run by Ilda’s son Giuliano.

There used to be six fish and chip shops in Ferndale supported by a workforce of miners and their families. “ Friday was fish day and after the cinema people would queue out in the street for their fish and chips from 10.30 . We stayed open and were busy until midnight “ recalls Ida. “Today we are the only fish and chip shop in Ferndale. The younger generation may have moved away in search of work but they come back to us from Cardiff , Pontyprydd and all the local villages for their fish and chips”

Margaritelli’s Chuppy (left) Andrew Marriott of Frymax presenting a commerative plaque to Ilda and Guiliano Margaritelli. (Right)

”even though many have moved away they drive back to us for their fish and chips”

Ilda recalls the coal range of yesteryear , replaced by a Preston & Thomas in the 1950s and by three more since. “ I well remember the old coal range. One day I put some wood on by mistake,a small fire started and we had to close the shop for a week. I’m pleased to say that since then we have had no further incidents” “In the early days our main fish was hake. It was delivered by train from the docks and on a Thursday I would clean and cut 10 stone of hake in preparation for the Friday trade. In those days we also removed the heads of the fish. The potatoes came in large sacks. The Frymax was delivered directly from the Peerless factory. I remember the rationing of oil and how pleased we all were when it finished“ Today the main fish is cod and plaice,the Maris Pipers come in 25kg bags and the Frymax comes from Catering Connect. “ In the 1950s a portion of chips cost 3 old pence (1.25p) today the cost is £1.40. We have changed our menu to offer smaller portion sizes to an ageing population and we now stay open in the afternoon as many of our customers like to visit us then” Two things haven’t changed. The batter is a special recipe paseed down through the generations and the oil is Frymax. “ We have used Frymax for 60 years because it is a top quality product. It has no smell; it isn’t greasy and most important of all the food tastes lovely” 38

Giuliano was born into the trade. In fact he was born above the shop and started working in the shop when he was nine years old, standing on a box to serve the customers. He formally joined the business after leaving school and has now clocked up over 30 years. Giuliano believes that two factors have helped Margaritelli’s maintain their business over so many years while others in the area have closed. “ Most important is the quality of our food. We use top quality ingredients to produce the best tasting food for our customers. We cook well. Frying is always done by a member of the family experienced in our procedures and knowledgeable about our range. Secondly we are a part of the community. We have been here for over 70 years and I have been in the shop for over 30 years. Our customers know us and more importantly we know our customers. That’s why even though many have moved away they drive back to us for their fish and chips” Much has changed in the Rhondda during the past 70 years but Margaritelli’s have shown that by maintaining high quality standards and adapting to meet the needs of a changing community there is still a place for a quality fish and chip shop in Rhondda Fach.

Anne Wallace always fries in Anne Wallace has run the award winning Taylors Fish and Chip restaurant and takeaway in Stockport since 1987. The reasons for her success are twofold. Anne believes passionately in effective staff training and, having previously won several awards, recently received a well deserved O.B.E. for her contribution to adult learning in the community. Good training goes hand in hand with great food and Anne’s Fish and Chips are simply the best. The reason is quite simple. “The oil is the most important thing in this business” she says and her years of experience have shown that there is only one oil that will produce delicious tasting food every time and keep her customers coming back for more. The oil Anne Wallace chooses is Frymax. Frymax is pure white premium palm, made from the highest quality raw materials. It is additive free, contains no hydrogenated oils and less than 1% trans fats. Not only does it guarantee consistently good results, its performance is long lasting without any deterioration in quality. Frymax has been the fryers favourite for over fifty years and is as good today as when it was launched all those years ago.

FriFri introduced Maxfry to Super Easy range FriFri, one of the leading names in commercial catering equipment, has introduced its unique oil protection system, Maxfry, to its Super Easy range of fryers.

he Hybrid Standard MaxFry system delivers a small measured dose (once an hour) of a 100 per cent organic, vegetable-based additive, which is proven to extend the life of the oil. Trials have shown that it can at least double life span and protects frying oil from the effects of heat and oxygen and so improves the quality of fried food. It has been introduced as an option on all models in FriFri’s budget Super Easy range (including 211, 411 and 422), following the success of the system on the Basic+ and Vision fryers.

John Shepherd, International Brand Manager for FriFri said: “Cooking oil is one of the most expensive commodities in a kitchen and this system has the ability to extend the working life of the oil, thus saving costs for caterers. It made sense to introduce it to our Super Easy range, in addition to the Basic+ and Vision, and we’re sure it will be just as successful. “MaxFry also protects the oil, which improves the food quality, too. It also gives the ‘golden’ colour to a chip from the very first cook, whereas this normally occurs after a period of time when some carbon has built up in the oil.” The FriFri range of high specification fryers comprises freestanding, built-in and counter-top models, all built to the very highest standards in a number of power and voltage variants. Options such as pumped oil filtration and automatic basket lifts can also be specified on selected models. The range also includes chip scuttles.

Lincat offers cleaning tips for chargrills and griddles in new ‘how to’ videos Lincat, the UK’s leading manufacturer of commercial catering equipment, has created two new product demonstration videos for its website...

resented by Lincat’s Development Chef Paul Hickman, they offer advice on the best way to clean and maintain Opus 700 clam griddles and Opus 700 chargrills and can be viewed at http://www. lincat.co.uk/promotional-pages/productvideos Launched last year, the product videos section of the Lincat website has proved popular with both operators and service engineers. Subjects for operators include how to replace the filter cartridge in a water boiler and how to operate the built-in filtration system in Lincat’s Opus 700 fryers. Instructional videos for service engineers include how to set up the valves on Lincat gas fryers. Rachel Smith, Marketing Manager of Lincat, said: “You can explain in brochures how to clean a clam griddle or operate a filtration system, but there’s no better way to show people how to do it than with a video. It also demonstrates perfectly the quality engineering, first-class design and ease of use of Lincat equipment.” Lincat Ltd manufactures one of the world’s most comprehensive ranges of catering equipment. Products are sold in the UK and in over 50 countries worldwide through a comprehensive network of distributors. Britannia Kitchen Ventilation is the UK’s market leading supplier of commercial and institutional kitchen hoods. Both are member companies of the Middleby Corporation. To view the videos, please visit www.lincat. co.uk/promotional-pages/product-videos/ product-presentations-for-operators Alternatively they can be viewed on Lincat’s Vimeo video channel www.vimeo. com/channels/lincat 43

And now for something completely different...

Fish and Chip Flavour Ice Cream

Yummy! Nicole Plant samples Teare Wood Ice Cream Parlour’s new fish and chip ice cream

hroughout history Brits have been an inventive lot; Charles Babbage gave us he first programmable computer in the 1820s. Alexander Graham Bell- the telephone, 1876. John Logie Baird - the world’s first publicly demonstrated television - 1925 and

virtually all of the most popular sports in the modern world trace their history to Britain. But are we still inventive? Well the good news is Shayne Wood, joint owner of Teare Wood’s Ice Cream Parlour, Whitby, is keeping the British end up! With the invention of fish and chip flavoured ice-cream. Oh Yes! Using fresh ingredients from Russell’s takeaway next door, Shayne created Whitby’s newest local delicacy. With bits of real battered cod, deep-fried potatoes and mushy peas it melds two of the best loved traditional holiday tastes to truly tantalise tourists. The finishing touch for this culinary master piece is to roll the fishy ice cream in batter bits (or is it scraps or scribbles or...) and insert a chip in place of a flake. “So does it taste good?” I hear you ask, well, apparently it strangely does. Now, form an orderly queue and no pushing in. There’s enough for everyone.

The Pizza Bread Army Not quite the same ring to it as ‘The Terracotta Army” granted, but an impressive work of art all the same.

hese tasty looking little chaps are the creations of Birmingham food artist, Annabel de Vetten. The pint size army was assembled to mark the opening of the 500th Pizza Express restaurant, which was launched in Beijing. Annabel used the brand’s pizza dough to sculpt her tiny troopers, painstakingly cutting and arranging minute slices of pizza dough to form flat little soldiers that when cooked fill out to just the right depth.

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014

It’s a delicate time consuming operation that demands a lot of patience. A former taxidermy and sculpture student, Annabel has specialised predominantly in creepy horror cakes which have earned her the nickname “Annabel Lecter” but she can fashion almost anything out of edible ingredients. It’s well worth giving her web site a visit... www.conjurerskitchen.com Don’t miss the wedding cakes. Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • June 2014
