Thanks so much for the reply. I also have a fascination with potatoes in general. How were they cooked in a different way? By Irish Chips, do those have similarities to normally how chips are made for British Chips or is it completely different?

One of my favourite topics :)

Irish Chips, come from Italian Chip shops in Ireland. There is a region in Italy where the Irish Italian community has its roots, Val Di Comino in Southern Italy. They are a particular style, thick, chunky and friend in rich oil, possibly with butter or lard and served with Salt or Vinegar. Absolutely delicious.

They look similar to British Chips but a bit heavier. I will have to post some photos.

Me too :) Wow, I actually didn't know that. I always made the assumption that they would probably be mostly like British chips.
