I think my parents get fish & chips as an occasional treat. I think the last time I had a portion was when I was touring around the Norfolk coast in May last year.
It's been a long time, though there are two local chippies and they seem to have a queue when I pass them on Friday evenings, though to me, eating at 6 pm is an abomination and they're closed when I'm hungry (surely they're post-pub food, but one them closes at 9.30 pm and the other 10 pm). Plus they don't do delivery and I'm fundamentally one of those lazy people that relies on a man on a moped on the few occasions we get takeaways. I'm pretty sure the last time we had fish and chips, and some years ago, there wasn't much change from £30. I am making myself hungry now.
Nostalgic too, remember a childhood when Friday night was chippy night, and my gran would send me across the road with a couple of bowls and a plate to be filled with fish, chips and mushy peas, and we'd wash the lot down with ample sugary pop. Oh and student year specials of chips, rice, and a fritter with curry sauce from a chippy that, I kid you not, was actually called 'Chinkies.'
