A
box of chips offered to eat while
watching a movie would be a great idea. And many chip lovers
like us would really vouch for it. But
the Fish and chips shop at Adventure Island fun park
has been very generous to offer chips in plenty to all the visitors in the park. So we assure
all the guys might have had a lip smacking chips treat apart
from the adventure very much lovable adventure rides in the park.
The Fish and chips
shop cooked up 448 kilos of chips piled
up inside a giant box much to attraction of everyone gathered there. About five staff took four hours and 20 minutes
to cut the potatoes, deep fry the chips and box them up. They have shattered
the previous record of the largest
serving of chips which weighed a paltry 368.5 Kg set in
the year 2004. The five men team who were the makers of the huge chunk of
chips were Gregg Smith the head of catering along with his school mate James
Gibbs catering group head, Barry
Campney, Sean Handley, and Tim Rainbow who took up the mammoth task and completed
it the unique way.
Once cooked, the chips were tipped into a giant replica of
the restaurant's chip box - 54in (137cm) long, 46in (116cm) wide, 30in (75cm)
high, and weighing 70.5lb (32kg). The
box had to be a super-sized version of the regular chip boxes to meet food
hygiene standards. The chips had
to be edible and safe and therefore the huge container had to
meet health and safety regulations.
Tracy Jones the spokesperson of the park said the process involved a lot of
effort as everything had to be done from
scratch. There was a really
good atmosphere. Loads of people turned up. The biggest problem was stopping
children putting their hands in and taking the chips before we were finished.
Visitors
to the seaside resort could buy a cone of chips for one pound ($1.60, 1.10 Euros),
with the money going to charity. The
new world record was also aimed at raising awareness and funds for the Southend
Hospital Charitable Foundation's Bosom Pals
Appeal. Philip Miller the chief
executive of the park said a fish supper on a seafront was the best way to kick a
celebration.
The Largest serving of chips weighed 448 Kilos and was set by
Fish and Chip Shop at Adventure Island Park in London, United Kingdom on June
30, 2011.
