Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 It depends where you get them from. I'd be suspicious of onion rings from a restaurant/chip shop/whatever (cos of the possibility of egg or milk). The ones I've seen in supermarkets tend to be fine though. Potato, onion etc, the batter tends to be breadcrumbs or flour, all the ones I've seen have been safe Just check the packet, or if it's a restaurant ask many, many questions! , carole <carole@b...> wrote: > Quoting John Davis <mcxg46@d...>: > > > Hi, > > > > Does anyone know what is in these things?

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hi, Thanks for that. I was hoping that I might find something to buy in a chip-shop other than chips (which they always swear are cooked only in vegetable oil...). But perhaps the old chips with chips meal is still the way to go! John - " gothcatz " <gothcatz Friday, May 28, 2004 4:12 PM Re: Onion Rings > It depends where you get them from.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 The chip shops I use to go in to and ask about the oil they always said the fish was cooked with the chips in the oil. I havn't been in a chip shop for a fewe years now, maybe some cook the fish and chips seperately now. Simon Thanks for that. I was hoping that I might find something to buy in a chip-shop other than chips (which they always swear are cooked only in vegetable oil...).

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hi, The ones I go to tend to have a separate, um, big sink with oil in (couldn't tell you the right term!) for the chips. So unless they reuse the oil from cooking fish, I think they are all right. Of course, the person serving them has also handled fish and burgers...But there is only so far down the 'not come into contact with animal products' that you can reasonably go.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 'puters down..havn't had a chancs to answer emails sooner. I wasn't so lucky a few years ago to find chips shops who used separate oil drums. I usually make my own now anyway.
