CHIPPY TEA TONIGHT!!!!

Fuck I'm excited. Haven't had a chippy dinner in over a month and our local has now reopened for contactless deliveries.

Fuck me, what do I have? Does this justify fish AND a battered sausage?

Best thing to happen all week.

I had fish and chips last night
It was bloody lovely

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 18/04/2020 16:02

Yes you need chips, fish and a side of sausage and a glass of chilled rose

Lordfrontpaw · 18/04/2020 16:04

Has to be had with bread and butter and a cup of tea. Do they do onion rings too? Mmmmmmmmm

WhereIsTheSaladDoris · 18/04/2020 16:06

We had one on Wednesday!!

I had fish, chips and gravy, with thick buttered bread. And because I love condiments, I had salad cream with my fish too.

Oh now I want it again!!
Enjoy Grin you’ll love it!

MysweetAudrina · 18/04/2020 16:06

Definitely go for the sausage too. You will probably be too full to finish it all but fuck it.

Lordfrontpaw · 18/04/2020 16:07

I want chippy chips now! A chip butty with ketchup. I really want one or two now.

Isadora2007 · 18/04/2020 16:07

We’re having our first lockdown takeaway (pizza) tonight.
Our chippies are still shut. 😭

Lordfrontpaw · 18/04/2020 16:07

I made pizza last night - it turned out very nice (or maybe I was just desperate!)

GreyGardens88 · 18/04/2020 16:08

I always just have fish, chips, mushy peas and a breadcake

Crystal87 · 18/04/2020 16:09

Mine would be fish and chips or a sausage dinner.

stickerqueen · 18/04/2020 16:10

I want some but our local chippy is closed. I love a chippy tea.
We had pizza hut at the start of the week I put a little table outside the door and he left it there for me. I didn't want my food left on the floor like I have seen other peoples food being delivered.

Lordfrontpaw · 18/04/2020 16:10

All I can think about is chips now. Really wish I hadn’t looked at this thread! I rarely get chippy chips but mmmmmmm what a treat! Never had a pickled egg though.

**Does this justify fish AND a battered sausage?
Yes it does. I'd have it with curry sauce too!

We had a takeaway curry on Wednesday but can you tell I'm feeling jealous that your chippy is open!

Michellebops · 18/04/2020 16:16

Fish & chips, sausage too, add on curry sauce and 2 pickled onions 😋

A bottle of chilled wine or cider

Heaven

Enjoy

bloodyhellsbellsx · 18/04/2020 16:17

Or god, I’m practically seething with jealously!
I really really want tail end lightly battered, lightly done, chips, gravy and a can of dandelion and burdock 😍

Rockbird · 18/04/2020 16:18

I was eyeballing a chippy tea just now. Haven't had one for weeks and drooling. But. Our usual order is about £21. Getting the same through Uber Eats is £47! What the actual?? Shock

Rockbird · 18/04/2020 16:19

Same place as well I mean.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 18/04/2020 16:19

I'd kill for a huge portion of battered haddock and chips with mushy peas like we had every Thursday night (don't ask me why it was Thursday, it just was) when I was a teenager in Leeds. My Dad used to go to a chip shop in Horsforth on his way back from work. It was all deep fried in dripping or lard. While we waited for him, my Mum heated the plates until they were red hot and I'd lay the table, not forgetting salt, malt vinegar and Heinz tomato ketchup. All washed down with several cups of strong tea. Gorgeous.

On red letter days we went out instead to Brian's in Headingley or very occasionally to Harry Ramsden's.

Not sure if any of our local chippies are still open. Maybe I'll save fish and chips up as a great treat for when all this is over.

Poppyfr33 · 18/04/2020 16:19

Home made pizza tonight followed by home made banana cake and custard. Tomorrow going to make chocolate brownies from Saturday Kitchen.

Imboredinthehouse · 18/04/2020 16:21

Don’t forget the curry sauce!

iklboo · 18/04/2020 16:22

We had it last week. Fish & chips with a potato scallop. Gallons of vinegar.

DeadBod · 18/04/2020 16:22

Fish, chips, mushy peas and scraps (is this just a Nothern thing as no ones mentioned them yet).

Our chippy is doing preorder, contactless pickup only. The only issue is that you have to order on Tuesday or Wednesday in order to have chips on Friday or Saturday. But we got a slot for last night, and I had gluten free cod and chips - which was a hard decision to make on Tuesday morning tbh. It was fab.

CCaK · 18/04/2020 16:23

Ok, I'm going to go small fish and small battered sausage so I can have both, and chips and curry sauce.

Could get a couple extra battereds to have cold later...Grin
