What is chip spice?

Heyyyy tracy....about time that you turn from being a lurker......? from the neighbourhood...where are u getting married?

Chip spice is something you shake onto chips - they only have it in Hull and its gorgeous!

I think it is made up of salt, and maybe paprika and perhaps some sort of tomato powder. All the chippies have it and you can get it in the shops too. But only in Hull.

Cat -plans are coming along great thanks, just sent out invites this week so every day I am excited waiting for the postman! Have got menu tasting soon, looking forward to that - and the wine!! ? How are your plans?

Mmm might have to take a trip to Hull then!!! Is it only Hull or all that area? I have family in Sunny Scunny.
