Topic: I'm going the chippy...

[Danny Boys Dad]

My nan lived on Kirkby Row so we used to go in there a lot when I was a kid, sausage dinner was one of our favourites. We moved to Southport in 1986 and the local Chinese did a fantastic sausage dinner with a fried egg on it. Our kid ended up moving to Bournemouth in about 1995 and could not get the local chippy to understand the sausage dinner. he was oining for one so much I actually got one from our chippy and took it down. My girlfriend at the time thought I was mental when I stopped at the chippy on our way down.

You drove all the way from Southport to Bournemouth with a sausage dinner in the car? Interesting choice of air freshener

Used to be an old chinese fella that owned it and when he was retiring, the couple who wanted to buy it would only buy it if he told them what the recipe was for the curry sauce was so he charged them extra and gave them the recipe. Type of place that no one would ever stop at if they were driving through cos the row of shops were shit and mostly boarded up but it was a great chippy.

Ha, always forget supper (in the context of a chippy) is a Scottish term.

Salt & Sauce is an Edinburgh thing, surprised you were offered it in Aberdeen. The sauce is brown sauce mixed with extra vinegar and it's horrible.

Yeah, 100% was Aberdeen where they offered me S&S. We used to go up there every year back in the mid 90's. We had a couple of lasses on the go.  Loved it up there, great city.

[Purple Red]

Lord no,  one average  portion of chips can have up to 400-500 calories and that is without including any disgusting fatty extras like Doner Kebab or Sausages.

Calorie counting in the chippy is rather pointless. It's a delightful indulgence.

[Alan_X]

My missus does that too. She's from near Edinburgh but has spent a bit of time in Norn Iron, if that helps.

My girlfriend calls it the chippy as well. From just outside Edinburgh as well. They have some odd sayings up there.

Prefer it with an egg rather than pineapple.

Not a fan of tartare sauce whether from a sachet or a jar delivered by Jeeves.

Always get egg on my chin and then cant get it off.Have ye done that? Its like havin ye crack waxed peeling egg yolk off ye face

Nice one

Right mate. Just brought up google street view and its amazing how quickly I got my Aberdeen bearings after 25+ Years

The chippy was on Holburn Street. We used to stop on Great Western Road close by in a B&B.

Looking at the street map its now called Hass's Fish & Chips but I couldn't be sure if it was called that when we were there

Night-Club we used to frequent was called Mr Gee's

Went to Hass's a few weeks ago - it's one of the better chippy's in Aberdeen, though pretty sure it's not been there 25 years. No doubt was a chippy there before under different owners.

[TheMissionary]

My girlfriend calls it a chippy, anyone else do that or is she just nuts?

Lived in Sheffield/Rotherham for six months, they called it.....well it was pronounced chip oyl.

I'm darn sarf now, chippies are generally shite, but what I really miss is Hollands pies.   Sodding Pukka pies, basically aren't.

Pudding, Chips, Peas and Gravy or

Near killed me to not eat it on the way down

Dear God,  with me being a strict no dead animal flesh eater I'm seeing some things in this thread which will give me nightmares.

I'm convinced some of you lot would eat a tin of Chappie, you weirdo's   

[BlackandWhitePaul]

A few have mentioned "scraps"   are we talking batter here?

It's batter isn't it?  It has to be.

It's quite nice actually...

[BlackandWhitePaul]

I have heard canned dog food has to be fit for human consumption and in the factories they have "tasters".

Seeing some of the things you's eat, sausages, burgers and all the rest of it you's have all ready more than likely eaten tons of horse meat so what's the difference ehh     

[Youb]

Came back to the UK for the first time in 5 years.  First meal was fish & chips,  plain sausage,  battered sausage,  steak & kidney pie, mushy peas,  red curry and a chicken curry.  Salt and vinegar. Smashed the lot. 

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

A few have mentioned "scraps"   are we talking batter here?

yeah mate.Its from when ye throw the fish in an the bits of batter mix that drop off float in the fat.Ye have to take em out so ye have ye scoop to clear them so they dont burn and turn the fat bitter

Either you're a massive fat c*nt the size of Shirley Crabtree, or you're lying.

[BlackandWhitePaul]

I love batter on my chips, the crunchier the better.

I've not heard the word scraps used here on Tyneside before.  Ohh, and we say bread bun, not barm and sandwich not butty.

Something else I will sometimes buy when in a chip shop is a pickled egg   

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Either you're a massive fat c*nt the size of Shirley Crabtree, or you're lying.

My thoughts exactly, but I didn't like to point it out haha.

[Youb]

Neither! True story. My local chippie is the best and after five years of missing it I couldn't decide what to have so had it all.

[Youb]

You stick to carrots mate! Imagine gorging down a smorgasbord of vegetables,  yummy!

[liversaint]

I work with a girl from St Helens and she eats that. Pie barm and pea wet. Basically a pie in a bread roll with mushy pea juice on. Not for me. Love some of the regional delights on offer in chippies. When I worked in Crewe 'smack bap' was very popular - basically a potato fritter inside a bread roll. They were also mad for battered sausages around those parts. They can't hold a candle to Scottish chippies though. I saw a man order a battered donner kebab once. Beyond grim.

Large fish (not arsed which species) - just salt and lemon wedge if they have it, small chips salt and swimming in vinegar and pot of mushy peas or sometimes curry and a can of dandelion and burdock. Delicious.

Pea wet is a Wigan thing, along with the babby yed mentioned by Rob1966

Minted peas are very common in Nottingham chippies

[red vinyl]

Is black peas a Wigan thing? Ive them somewhere and the didnt have eyes in them.

Parched peas, another name for them, are more of a Lancashire thing in general.
