Cooking instructions

1

Procedure

Make sure the chips are not too greasy and have been well drained.

2

Procedure

Take two slices of bread (the heel works best) and butter both on one side, then apply ketchup and spread evenly over the bread.

3

Procedure

Add chips in a manner akin to herringbone floor tiling, making sure to minimise any gaps. You can add multiple layers.

4

Procedure

Put both slices of bread together, then put the assembled sandwich on a flat surface and slap it hard several times with with an open hand to crush the filling. Eat immediately!

Read it through first

Skim all 4 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.

Scale it

Use the quantities listed in the original recipe. Adjust them manually if making a different batch size.

Storage

Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Reheating

Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
