Yes, I know about the good/bad fat arguments so we just have these once in a while - no more often than twice a month. Cheers, Andy
My daughter has one of these, which is on special offer at the moment:

thank you for all answers! I have just rung my friend and told her what you have said here and she is most grateful to you all!!! Her and her husband are in their 80's and have chips once a week cooked in lard and they are both very fit and well, so a little bit of what you fancy does you no harm at all!
