Are you a member of "The Chup Group?"
Thursday, 4 June 2009 by Hock
The Chip Group a partnership between local industry groups and the New Zealand Heart Foundation focused on improving the nutritional profile of chips or chups.
Judging from their website* and giveaways they have received some serious funding.
*Note awesome chip wallpaper.
If you do decide to join up like me you will be privy to some pretty spectacular videos covering topics such as optimum "chip size", "oil temperature", "basket drainage" and of course "salt"
After watching seven amusing clips which cover topics such as THUCK cut CHUPS are BUTTAR for your HELF and that you should not use SKUNNY CHUPS. I aced the tests (sorry modules) and received my certificate for which I am very proud.
The Chip Group recommends printing your certificate off and showing your work mates. Which is exactly what I did but Chalong my sous chef burnt it on an open flame. Where is the respect.
The Chip Group is now busily sending my two nieces in Auckland (I used their address as I thought it would be asking a tad much to send the goodie bag to Bangkok)
1 bottle of Kiwi Style Tomato Sauce (6 muthafucken liters!!!)
1 bottle of Kiwi Style Tartar Sauce (Also 6 ltrs!!! BURP)
1 Jar Kiwi Style Deep Frying Baking Powder (2 kg!)
1 jar of Kiwi style Chicken Salt Seasoning (2.5 kg!!!!!!!!)
1 apron and t-shirt (hopefully size XXXL as the girls little Hello Kitty t-shirts will not fit them after eating 12 liters of heavily processed condiments)
It was not a complete waste of 30 minutes. I learnt that 2.5 thousand tons of fat is equal 632 elephants. WTF? Actually this is the total amount of fat that they wish to remove each year from the NZ populations diet by cooking a better chip which is not a bad idea if you have ever seen Maytels dads tummy.
Anyway the password for my membership was horsefat which the website never once referred to which is a shame really as it is a nice middle ground, bridging the worlds of high and low saturated fats and producing a pretty good chip.
Anyway...Ella and Liv enjoy the 2 kg of Kiwi Style Deep Frying Baking Powder.
wow what an awesome way to battle the fat elephants
do we have a soda council in NZ too?
Kiwi style Chicken Salt Seasoning on my toast, please!
Congratulations on the new certificate! Too bad it did not get you any extra traction in the kitchen.
I too passed a little time better spent working by earning a certificate of my own.
Take a stab at it at:

Maybe a Poop Expert Certificate would get a little more Respect, given that you would be joining such an elite group of certificatees...
Kiwis love their chips, so much so that the National Children's Nutrition Survey vegetable data includes two categories for potatoes boiled, mashed, baked and roasted and the second is for fried potatoes!
