Chicken Parmo CrispsAre you a smoggy dipper?

The Story of the Parmo

Invented in the 1950s by ex-Navy chef Nico Harris at his Middlesbrough restaurant, The American Grill Parmo was inspired by Escalope Parmesan.

A fried chicken escalope topped with béchamel sauce and cheddar cheese, it was soon copied by other restaurants and takeaways, becoming part of North East culture, especially on Teesside. Traditionally served with garlic mayo and a token side salad.

Smoggy Foods now make the nostalgia of the original dish available as a right proper chicken parmo flavour crisps with garlic mayo.

Smoggy Stories

Short local snapshots of where the smoggy name and parmo flavour came from.

Smoggies

The name “Smoggies” for the good people of Middlesbrough came from visiting Sunderland & Newcastle fans when Boro played at Ayresome Park. By the end of the matches the pitch was enveloped in a cloud of fumes, smoke and steam coming from all the Parmos being cooked up in nearby Linthorpe Road. Honest!
