I remember the days of the spice that went on frank the yank chips - not sure if it's the same as chip spice? I'm very nostalgic about the fish chips patties mushy peas sausages from Hull chippy's - however I've had to adapt now I'm in Oz - over here they have 'chicken salt' and it is delicious on chips. Does chicken salt exist in Hull/UK generally or is it an Aussie phenomenon?
I was nervous about googling for that, but, it actually looks and sounds pretty good! http://www.sanza.co.uk/Mitani_Chicken_Salt.asp
I've just given the patties on King Edward Street a try. I'm a cynical traditionalist, but these were bloody good. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull...Chilli-Prawn/story-26278007-detail/story.html Chilli Prawn: Fresh prawns, chopped onion, jalepeno peppers and chillies.

Well i had never had chicken salt until i arrived here, and does taste nice, but then i always liked chip spice anyway as well, not that they are the same. I have to say, when i was back in the UK last year i went to Sullivans in Beverley and i am sure it wasn't as good as i remembered it to be. I was supposed to go and have some from FryDays in Anlaby but didn't get there and arrived at the Star instead for tea.
Can only comment on two. Corned beef and mustard was first rate, and the people that had Chilli Prawn are keen to go back for more.
I always thought it was funny that it's called American chip spice and yet people from Hull claim it as something from their city. And nobody in America has ever heard of it. When people at uni asked me what was in chip spice, I always said 'Paprika, Salt, Pepper and grit'. There may also be sand; I'm not sure as I haven't had it in a while. I also agree with OLM, it's for fries, never on chip shop chips and the like.
I can confirm the Pattie is sold outside of Hull...they have them in Liverpool, Cumbria and I think Hartlepool. Can't say I've ever tried them away from Hull but my friend from Cumbria also thought that was the only place who did them. Same with chip spice, they do it here in Preston but call it red salt
In Manny on Saturday in their centre and a few folk Spiced up. They just don't get it over there do they?
People seem amazed that something originating in Hull could also be being created elsewhere - the internet has allowed ideas, recipes and images to spread far and wide. You can go down the combination of Princes Ave, Newland Ave and Chants Ave and take your pick of which countries cuisine you want to eat - for example, you can go get a Japanese takeaway on Newland Ave. Japanese Cuisine has made it all the way to Hull, it's not exactly shocking to think that Chip Spice and Patties have reached the other side of the Pennines.
Never had any of these things. When people say fries are they talking like thin chips - i.e. McDonalds does fries. With chips meaning pub chips that are thick cut?
They put chip spice on the chips/French fries here in Jordan. Tastes the same as the stuff in Ull. Aint seen a pattie yet.
