Hi All,ive been veggie for 3yrs,i dont eat from takeaways at the best of times,but i took my children out to dinner at the local chippy in town and out of curiosity i asked the waitress how they cook their chips.She said they cook the chips separate from the burgers and sausages etc,they have their own pan,BUT they are cooked in the same oil!..lucky i ordered a salad roll,i just wondered if anyone else knew this...blessings butterfly
Did she mean literally the same oil, or perhaps the same brand/type of oil?
Holistic
yes literally the same oil,it might just be that chippy,but all you vegans/veggies ask before you order!..x
My chippy uses the same brand of oil but has 4 seperate fryers, one for fish, one for meat products, one for chips and one for vegetables. Might be why he wins awards so often....
Slightly off topic but it's worth mentioning that many fast food outlets use hydrogenated vegetble oil which contains trans-fats.
Trans-fats are far are even a greater risk to health than saturated fats and a major contributor to heart disease.
So it's worth checking out what sort of oil your local chipy uses.
