"Chips are great in all their varieties, from shit to fancy."
"Yeah, they're like the Martin Freeman of potatoes: loveable, goes with anything, makes you feel good about yourself. The everyman potato."
"Big, fat, vinegar-soaked chippy chips are the best though."
"Why is it so hard to find a decent chippy in London?"
"You know, it's very confusing for Irish people in England because we call a chippy 'the chipper'."
"What about the scraps you get in the chippy?"
"*bits."
"Amazing in a sandwich."
"Ooh yeah, they'd give real texture to a chip buttie."
"Tee hee hee, 'buttie'."
"Bits/scraps mean fish shop chips, which are clearly the finest chips available."
"Deep-fat-fried. None of this oven chip malarkey."
"Oven chips are manky. The end."

"Nans love boiled potatoes."
"They like to have them reliably present on every plate because who'd want a meal without a simple potato?"
"The only thing to do with boiled potatoes is let them cool, slice them up, then fry them. Eat them with a fried egg and beans."
"That's the kind of reason nans like to have a few boiled, just in case."
"I'm a nan at heart."
