- Title Cod Save The Queen! Chippy Creates Patriotic Union Jack Fish And Chips For Queen's Platinum Jubilee
- Summary WITH PIX A chip shop has created the ultimate British dish in honour of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee - fish and chips in the colours of the Union Jack. In the run up to the Jubilee weekend from June 2-5, a South Wales chippy chain, Crisp and Fry, came up with the wacky idea to spruce up the classic British delicacy and make it fit for the Queen. The clip, which went viral on TikTok, shows a member of staff dip a fish fillet and chips in batter with red and blue food colouring, before frying them and squirting mayo over the top to represent the white stripes of the flag, to form the iconic United Kingdom flag. The chippy's video divided the opinion of many social media users, with some saying it's an abomination - but the shop argues it tastes no different and is just a bit of fun. Jason Thomas, 36, who works for Crisp and Fry, said: "It's all a bit of fun - we like to do things that stand out and are a bit different. "I think it'll make people feel patriotic in the run up to the Queen's Jubilee. "She's done an incredible job and is still working at her age which is great. "It's funny to see the different reactions to the video - some people love it and some people hate it. "People eat with their eyes which is why they have that instant shocked reaction and as a nation we're not used to it. "There's no taste difference as it's just food colouring, customers have tried it and they love it because it's not what you expect. "We've all had doom and gloom for two years with the pandemic so this is something to brighten up people's days." The quirky £6.49 meal will be on sale in their three shops in Ammanford, Llanelli and Cross Hands next week, ready for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations the following week. Jason added: "People go nuts for our unique food - one time we did a battered chip butty and people drove from miles away to get it. "We've definitely put the chippy on the map with our Union Jack fish and chips."
