A large portion please

It’s National Chip Week so, go on, treat yourself.

There are events across the country this week celebrating the humble chip - but perhaps the bizarrest is a bid to set a new world record for "the most portions of chips eaten simultaneously”.

This is happening tomorrow in London’s Leicester Square when the British Potato Council will try and orchestrate a syncronized scoff by 1000 people.

It's not the first time Field Day has followed record-breaking bids involving food. Wasn't that long ago we were at an attempt to make the world's biggest bowl of porridge.
