Answer:
Chippers in England and Ireland started using newspaper during the depression era because it was cheaper and most of the vinegar and oil was soaked up by it so thats why even today in many chippers you'll still get you grub but wrapped in newpaper print instead.
Newspaper absorbs the extra oil...
To absorb the grease that they soak up while cooking.
It's street food---absorbant and cheap!
they're oily and yesterdays newspaper is cheap. now it's custom and a down home way for the everyman to eat.
Also cheaper than that white paper.
Its cheap and maintains good insulation.
People have already said it's cheap, absorbs extra oil, etc but I just wanted to say, when I was in England, at every place where I got fish and chips, they wrapped it in plain brown paper. It's cleaner than newspaper. I don't think anyone uses newspaper anymore.
because the newspaper will soak up the grease that all that is fried in and it's not healthy
to absorb the excess oil
It absorbes the grease, it`s cheap and it`s a great way to make the food portable. BUt most importantly it`s the traditional way... Don`t know who came up with the idea, but probably a british guy. Newspapers are easy to get a hold of, and during the depression they didn`t really have alot of choices and newspapers seemed to do the job.
the news paper soaks up the grease
its the brits experation date for the buggers ! L.O.L.!!
It has been illegal to sell fish and chips in news paper for a long time now. Something to do with health and safety. They use plain white paper now.
