Right, I'm off to the fish'n'chip shop

[Drewster]

Do you know what is in these things?

Me neither

You really don't want to know whats in them!!

On the assumption that your plan was to enjoy eating it obviously.......

Chippies serve scallops?

It’s just a potato disc in batter down ere’ in zomerzet.

The kebab shops are superseding them with big chunky spicy coated potato wedges, perfect for soaking up ale whilst I sleep.

CM is on a diet, I'm not allowed fish and chips!

Mate, the Germans probably do fish and chips better than you Poms

Having dabbled in German cuisine for about 7 of the last 10 years I can quite definately say you are wrong.
As the award for "Chippy of the year" *cant remember the real award name* has been won in my locality in the UK a number of times I may be spoiled.

Is that a thumb print on your forehead or a stiletto mark? I can't make it out from here!

Excuse me while I head off to the mad Irish bint proof bunker on another continent......

Cant face food at the mo, but I wouldn't say no to a large americano (no milk) from Cafe Nero or even Costa - just NOT Starbucks - thanks sweetie

<said with feeling>No they don't! </said with feeling>

While we are on the subject of things greasy, McCains, of oven chips fame were sponsors of the recent Scottish National Athletics Championships.

Yes, exactly.


I do miss steak puddings. The thing about Europe is they just dont do meat-filled pies.

Sadly true, although I have found a place that does savoury veggie stuff in pastry.

In France you only get sweet stuff in pastry. Well, they do a reasonable quiche and some cracking good sandwiches, not to mention les Hot Dogs - those are worth buying simply for the laughs as some young fille française tries to insert a wobbly sausage into the baguette

Ah, but don't you live near the sea? More of an east coast visitor myself, but a seaside chippy takes some beating.
