Chips, a bit of salt, no vinegar with haddock or (if in London) rock, a pickled onion and ketchup. If I'm taking it home I'll have lemon juice and pepper on the fish too.
Just for a snack, a chip barm, with onion vinegar but the chippies in the south look at me funny when I ask for that.
When I was in Manchester Abdul's vege kebabs were rather fine after a night out.

Did we not have a thread about different strange Northern names for bread rolls? You'd not get a barm cake south of Manchester, I reckon, and as for an oven-bottom muffin...

The last meal I had before leaving Lancashire to move down to Somerset was from the chippy:
Steak and Kidney pudding, chips, gravy and mushy peas (well, someone's got to like them!).

Talking of regional differences, where I grew up, Southampton, the chippy menus went something like:
Cod,
Large Cod,
Plaice,
Haddock,
Whiting,
Pie,
Sausage

When I got to uni in Manchester the menus went:
Fish
Steak and Kidney Pie
Meat Pie
Cheese and onion pie
Gravy
Curry

(The idea of gravy with chips was completely new to me at the time!)

S

I moved form Pompey to Glasgow. In the lattter the menus was "fish supper" or "special fish supper". Oh and the pies were shortcrust and deep fried.

There's a bit too much cod going down on this thread. If you must eat slimey flibbly things from the sea, why not a couple of hot mackerel baps?

Erm… Ham mentioned they're partial to cod roe (as am I), but other than that no-one has said they buy cod.

Cod's what I tend to buy when they laugh at me for asking for haddock

I'm a sucker for saveloy, but I must admit I do have to close my mind to what I'm probably eating

If they have nice big ones, I'll treat myself to a wally aswell

WTF is a Wally? Or don't I want to know?

Me, I'm a chips-only sort of girl. Bag of chips, plenty of salt and vinegar and I'm as happy as larry

I hate vinegar, me.

P.S what's a savaloy ?

Quote from: The Macc Lads

No gravy at the chippie
And what's a saveloy?
Every pub were full of
foreigners and bottom boys

In the days when the dokta would allow me to eat such things, chips, scraps and curry sauce. You need to go after ten pm though, coz the curry sauce needs to simmer for about four hours to achieve the correct consistency, which is similar to wallpaper paste.

Frites, mayonnaise and some oliebollen (dutch fried doughnuts) after a wet streetlight-lit kermesse anywhere in deepest Flanders.

If we're allowing continental cuisine, then the chips you get in Amsterdam are up there. They're covered in mayonnaise, ketchup and diced onion.

If it's a continental chippy then fine.

I've had poutine too. That's chips/fries covered in cheese curds and gravy. It's pretty good.

The chips in Flanders are great. I love the way they always cook them fresh in restaurants - so you might have to wait a while, but you'll get a piping hot bowl of frites. Oh - no matter how many times you go there you will always burn you tongue as you tuck in! I like them with no seasoning...

Edit: Accompanied by mosselen of course...

Had that in Montreal. Variable IMO.

I thought there'd be a chip shop thread somewhere.

Anyway, the chip shop in Llandysul closes on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Really.
Well Monday, I understand. a. Because it's Monday and b. Because most of Llandysul is closed on that day anyway.
Sunday may have something to do with whichever flavour of skypixi one favours, so ok, I suppose.
But Saturday? Really?

A flyer came through our door this week. A chip van will be visiting the village once a week.
On a Friday

I've just tried it. Not bad. But Friday?

Fish onna Friday, doncha know? Plus if it is a chip van you are being fitted in around more profitable (or at least, more established) venue days.

Isn't it obvious? You're supposed to visit the van on the way home from the chippy on Friday to buy your Saturday chips...
