Chipsteaks are unique and delicious, with tremendous protein value

Behold the chipsteak, here presented in an extremist British incarnation but also popular in the United States until about that time. Perhaps it's time for a chipsteak renaissance?

He's a Monty Python character brought to life and quite wonderful.

What makes it special and different to the rest? Well, the owner of arguably the most famous Channel Island voice ever, makes an in-vision appearance.
