Best chips in the Med?

The Greeks win hands down.

One of the most nemorable for me was at Cala Llonga on Ibiza. Calamari and chips, perfectly cooked. 15 years ago but I still remember it with pleasure.

Vyv, Calamari is another one the Greeks do so well! Small Tavern just outside Kalamata marina called Nikis..

I still remember our first visit to Greece about 40+ years ago and they were trying to do chips at that time. I think the process must havve been:
1) Slice potatoes thinly
2) Drop into cold or lukewarm olive oil and slowly warm
3) Remove from heat? when translucent
4) Leave to cool whilst gently warming the main dish
5) Remove plate from fridge to hold main dish and chips (see through and dripping with oil)

At least that's what it seemed at that time.

Things have certainly changed hugely now.

There is also the best ice cream shop i have ever had the pleasure to visit at Kalamata town high street, it is just down the street from the commercial dock, they have a choice of toppings lined up, you pick what you want and the ice cream cornet is dipped into it!, 2 euro for a large ice cream, we shall return in May, sheer heaven

If you want Chips. Why would you go to the Med?

Where do you get the best Kebabs in the Med? Or Spanakopita?

It's so sad to think that people thing Greek chip are best , I can only imagine they not visit places like Italy, France
Probably Belgium chips come up high on the list .

Vic, we lived in France for ten years, Italy for over a year or so, wintered in Barcelona for three years now live there, I've eaten chips and mussels many many times in Brussels, from Tokyo to Texas IMHO Greek chips are the finest, as I say IMHO.

We have cruised half the year for the past 10 in Greece and eat calamari on average once a week. The Spanish meal sticks out in the mind not only because it was perfectly cooked but because it came as a meal, with peas, onions and mushrooms. Most unusual in Greece, where the fish on its own is the standard offering.
