Lard is from pigs and generally white and softer than dripping. Dripping is generally from beef and is harder and creamy colour. I think there is a form of pork dripping ut I am not sure.

Yes I have to think about it a lot ! and much happier with the metric system. I can barely use imperial tools without a calculator to convert to metric. I learned the metric system at school ~60 years ago so I think it is time to send my dad's old stuff to the tip.

Isn't that how everyone cooked them before heart disease and oil became fashionable

My Grandma used to make chips by cooking them in lard. Best chips I've ever tasted.
She used to make potato cakes out of grated potatoes. They were sublime too.

After trying oven chips (yuk!!) I am wondering how people cook chips on their boat. As we will be on ours very soon was wondering if there is a neat gadget or chip fryer that is worth investing in or is it a case of an old fashioned chip pan and oil (or dripping of course ).
TIA
Paul
ETA: did a search but threw up lots of things about chips and most of them had nowt to do with spuds!

Glad you are enjoying your retirement cruise.
If you come back via the HNC it will probably spoil your enjoyment and have you heading for your retirement armchair.?

Which foreign country was that? Britain official adopted the metric system in early 1965.

When I ate chips at home my mother cooked them in a pan on the top of the cooker in a deep pan with a basket in them. The only power was the hotplate, we didn't have gas. this one works on a gas ring

As I if in a pub drinking beer only drink draught I wouldn't be daft enough to ask for 330ml I would ask for either a half (it would be litre when we get sensible enough to use metric for beer) or a Litre.

Unless you get used to oven chips, or are prepared to go to chip shops then you'll need to reveiew your electrical system for capacity and capability to recharge.
I tried a deep-fat fryer, not practical.
I now use an air-fryer (sort of oven chips but very different taste) they almost taste like chips, and you soon get used to the slight difference.
I have a 1400w air fryer which uses ~ 140Ah from the batteries (via the inverter).
It takes approx 35-40 minutes to do Fish and chips so it uses about 90Ah to cook each batch, so you will need to be able to replace ~110Ah per day (90Ah + losses)
You will need 2x 110Ah batteries dedicated to powering the air-fryer and a system of getting them recharged.
Mine works OK as I have 1200Ah battery bank and 140Amp (2 x 70A alternators) and run the engines for 4-6 hours most days.

And their sheer pointlessness. Endless "instruction" videos about how to do this that or the other, all of them giving slightly different advice. Some of them are excellent, most are not and there's absolutely no way to tell which is which.
Generally, there's a rule on here about advertising, and that includes the generous "sharing" of something someone wants a bit of free publicity for, and helps them make a bit more money from the clickbait.
This isn't a site for salesmen.

Two thoughts.
The first is I don't know that anybody has suggested to rush out and change your vehicle or take out your stove merely that people need to accept that change is coming and when they replace things consider the environmental impact. The more that do that the sooner things will get better. If everyone say "sod this for a game of soldiers let future generations cope with the problem" then there may not be any future generations.
I assume you have no children/ grandchildren or you thing climate change is some conspiracy or other the alternative is you don't care about their health and well being in decades to come.
It is IMO the only way change will happen is for people to realise there is a problem and do what they can as they can.

I wouldn't worry. No-one will legislate these things away because nobody wants to lose the votes of the majority who think like you.
In the meantime kids who live in city centres will carry on dying from air pollution, wars will be fought over dried up water supplies, rivers will be poisoned by runoff from the fields, glaciers will carry on melting and California will just catch fire. None if which matters so long as you can, unlike the millions who came before you on this planet, fly somewhere hot for a fortnight.
Doesn't bother me, I've only got a few years left!
