Chips off the old block

Fish and chips from a bygone era are available to 21st century visitors to the Black Country Museum.

You can't beat the smell or taste of one of Britain's favourite foods, chips.

National Chip Week runs from 9th - 15th February.

What better place to celebrate chips than the 1930's fried fish shop at the Black Country Living Museum which uses the old fashioned cooking technique of beef dripping.

Chips are so popular, that over a half a billlion meals containing homemade chips are eaten each year.

The museum can serve up to 600 portions during a busy day.

Video journalist Nicola Butler went along to taste a chip and found a secret weapon during her visit.
