Oven Chips- um, what?!

My parents used to own a Zyliss potato chipper (a fantastic piece of early 70s industrial design) and a chip pan (a grease encrusted lump of metal - IIRC it was dark blue and the bakelite knob on the lid doubled as an adjustable vent). The chipper came with two cutters: wide and narrow. My parents never used the narrow one.

Our kitchens in university accommodation were sparsely equipped, but they did provide electric, thermostat-controlled deep-fat fryers, presumably to discourage students from drunkenly using a chip pan on the stove.

They are good for putting fish fingers in. Are fish fingers even a thing in the States?

Ah, OK, you call them fish sticks. I can't really argue with that.

Or if you're a "South Park" fan, "fish dicks."
