There’s no skin on our chips up north | Brief letters
Skin in the chip game | Nannies and toffs | Scottish grandmothers | Hummus hint | Department for misunderstanding | Prostate cancer tests
Michal B Paradowski (Letters, 27 September) refers to chips as “fluffy on the inside and proudly skin-on”. No chip shop in the north, where we know about these things, would ever serve chips with the skin on. Never heard of it, never experienced it. Maybe it’s different in Cambridge?
