Britons are only just discovering the Christmas chip, a festive staple in Northern Ireland that has been served in cafes and restaurants since early November. The dish consists of chips topped with pigs in blankets, turkey, ham, stuffing, and gravy.
In a TikTok video, Emily Wardley from England shared her homemade version after craving the meal she enjoyed while living in Northern Ireland. She emphasised using 'chippy chips' from a fish and chip shop, then added sliced pigs in blankets, shredded roast chicken instead of turkey, and stuffing, with thick gravy on the side.
Wardley described the dish as a 'solid 10/10', prompting many viewers to try it themselves. One comment called it 'revolutionary', while others admitted they had never heard of it before.
However, some Northern Irish viewers pointed out that Wardley's version was incorrect, noting that authentic Christmas chips use turkey and ham, not chicken, and often include cranberry sauce.
