New unpeeled potato crisps by Tucker Foods hit the market, as a healthier alternative to traditional crisps.

Nature's Choice Extra Thick Potato Crisps by Tucker Foods are attempting to break into the health food market by introducing the healthier, unpeeled potato crisp. The new crisps are coated only with natural flavouring, with no artificial additives.

Reporter Chris Young interviewed Ray Watering, Production Manager at Tucker Foods in Norwich, Norfolk, for this video, made to be shown in a news story on Anglia Television early evening news / magazine programme About Anglia.

What We Ate

If 'we are what we eat', then we're definitely not who we used to be...

The British diet has come a long way since the days when lard, suet and condensed milk were the staple of every kitchen, and when 'takeaway' invariably meant a fish supper. We still love our fish & chips - and our Sunday roasts, full English breakfasts, sausage & mash and neeps and tatties. But today our supermarkets stock food and ingredients from six continents, and our comfort food may just as likely be curry, sushi, risotto, chilli con carne or peri peri chicken. This selection of cookery shows, news reports, adverts and debates gives a taste of how our appetites and our palates were transformed, as well as highlighting some of the food fads and fears that simmered up along the way. So take a seat, browse the menu, and remember: watch what you eat!
