Chip shops and what they sell.

Definitely onion in ours. Though it's not vegetarian friendly anyway as it has beef suet as part of the ingredients! 

 

Good to know - I'll be missing that, then! I assume I'm alright with mushy peas?

 

Gravy I've always assumed has some sort of animal base.

I miss the regional variations Fish Suppers, Deep fried mars bars and pizza or anything else come to mention it, fish bits, black pudding, spam, pie suppers.
 

 

The one time I had a battered Mars bar I really liked it. Wouldn't be one I'd eat regularly, but I thought it was tasty. 

 

Agree with you on the standardisation of food. It's actually something I really kick against in life generally, much preferring individualism, although it's getting much harder. I do wonder where we'll end up and am glad I'll not be around to see it.

@ZX7R you'll be alright with peas 

 

Gravy you would have to ask where you went. Ours has beef suet in. We once got sent some vegetarian beef flavoured gravy by mistake. It was crap so we got rid of it but it must have a market.

 

We only fry in beef dripping at our shop so we aren't exactly veggie friendly anyway. Though I've seen plenty of people buy some chips for their Wife/husband/daughter etc and say "ah, they'll never know anyway" 

[Tiggie]

Oh and as for battered mars bars. I worked as a fryer for 7 years before I finally decided to try one. Bloody amazing!!!! 

 

Really nice with some ice-cream on the side too

Maybe we should be adding these decent chipies to the map! 

 

I could create a category for it?

Anyone else miss turkey sticks? I used to love them!

One of the best chippy’s in my town (Grimsby) has to be Wybers Wood Chippy. Or lovingly just called Wybers Chippy. 

Owned by a Cypriot family since it opened back in the mid 70’s. 

It is now run by the two brothers after Dad retired, but should we be lucky enough to go when he has been on the fryer...which isn’t very often nowadays.... anyway it’s still top notch. 
When me and the wife go it’s Fish, Chips & small gravy for me and a Large bag of Chips, a bag of scraps and a bun for the wife. She’s a veggie. 
When I get home the Salt & Vinegar goes on before the gravy. 
Sometimes I’ll have Fishcake (home made with chunks of fish and potato), Chips and mushy peas.

The menu includes;

Cod Roe 

Scampi

Skate

But I’ve never ever fancied any of that.

 

I worked down south in my late 20’s 

Guildford, Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City etc and was always disappointed when I visited any chippy around there. No trays, no forks, no gravy, no buns, no haddock!! Can’t believe they called themselves a chippy!!

Mrs Mickly likes a Jumbo sausage with a pair of scallops

I fancy some Chips now you twats.

[Mississippi Bullfrog]

I remember the chippy in Leeds when I was a student, opposite the Engineering faculty, Sweats, known by one and all as Sweaty Betty's.

 

Extensive menu. Fish. Chips. Mushy peas. Or for the adventurous, a chip butty. 

 

The mushy peas were so inedible we used to smear them over traffic light lenses. It kind of made sense at the time.

They will batter anything up there

 

I'm old fashioned I love pineapple fritters with chips, used to get nice cheese patties too, can't remember last time I had either.

[onesea]

Pickled Eggs - Funny thing is yup I can get them down here, great in pack of crisps.  Don't worry if the jar looks old they will be nicer
Pine apple Fritter - Cannot recall seeing one of them in Chippy, one to find
Deep Fried Mars Bars - Love them, favourite place has to be sitting on the Quay in Brodick after one of my numerous attempts to scale Goat Fell.

I need to go north again, so many foods I am missing.

Pea Fritters we can them down here, they are good, also normally in hot plate so drained of excess oil so better than local fresh cooked and wrapped fish...

Banana Fritters are great so is fried banana, so is rum and chocolate (it doesn't matter if its from the fridge) and rum wrapped in tin foil cooked on BBQ but you cannot get that in chippies.

My tip get some Plantain if you can, cooks so much better than banana. Although Banana will do it is up there with Fried Mars Bars...

[Tiggie]

Truthfully though as my boss has said to me loads of times, there isn't much you cant cover in batter and stick in the pan
