Things haven’t changed much since 1950, when VS Naipaul wrote to his father "I have eaten potatoes every day of my stay in England, twice a day at Oxford & either cabbage or cauliflower."
Caitlin also declared “No other nation would invent ‘Fish & Chips’ flavour crisp: a crisp (made of potato) that tastes of chips (made of potato).”
But on Red Nose Day earlier in the week Lindsey Bareham, also in The Times, shared with us her discovery that plain salted crisps make a very effective substitute for potatoes in Spanish potato & onion omelette. And she is right about that.
