Saturday chippy night what's your fav?

can't abide those cheap chip shop sausages yuck.

You do have to wonder what goes into those cheap chip shop bangers, especially after the recent meat-based scandals. Suffice to say, a few moments ago I asked my local chippy if they were serving any today, but the owner checked the use-by date on the pack....and they're off!

Haddock over cod for me every time. Possibly with a pickled onion on the side, not a great fan of chip shop peas.

Surprisingly, this topic is 2 pages in and without a mention (until I brought it up) of the peculiarly Black Country phemomenon that is the bright orange battered chip!

Went to the gym and walked back past the chippy noooooo the eat clean through the week rule would have gone if I had readies on me

Fish supper.

Salt and sauce. Salt and sauce being a uniquely Edinburgh thing. Cheap brown sauce mixed half and half with water. Delicious but an acquired taste apparently.

Freaks the lot of ya.

The orange dye in the batter was allegedly a WW2 invention designed to brighten up a bag of chips and relieve the general wartime gloom and austerity a bit. I like to think that the orangey-yellow colour might be in tribute to the Old Gold shirts worn at Molineux; I'm probably completely wrong though.
