We all love a few chippies - and we all have our own preference.

Whether it's curly or straight, chunky, skinny ... even sweet potato, everyone has their favourite!

But research has actually found the perfect chip is golden brown, two inches long with a crispy outside and a fluffy inside

A new survey found more than 40 percent of us prefer a chunky chip, 22 percent favour skinny fries and 5 percent go for wedges.

Ketchup is the most popular sauce for dipping, followed by mayo at 31 percent.

Oddly, 10 percent admitting to dipping their chips in ice-cream.

Meanwhile, fish (57 per cent), burger (38 per cent) and steak (27 per cent) were the top chips-accompanied meals, according to the OnePoll study.
