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.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g You have just described my childhood! I’m from Leeds and Brian’s and Harry Ramsdens were the top notch chippies , but we had Skyliner and Coes near us to choose from too.

Theweasleytwins · 18/04/2020 16:24

I'd Definitely order all the trimmings, just to support their business/because I'm a fatty😂

picklemewalnuts · 18/04/2020 16:26

Do you live near me, @CCak? Is the place the ARFB? I've just discovered mines opening too, and it's tempting m very very tempting!

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 18/04/2020 16:27

Oh and definitely curry sauce

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 18/04/2020 16:29

I'm going back well over 40 years, @MrsGrindah! I don't remember any of the names except Brian's and Harry Ramsden's. We lived in Cookridge. My parents aren't in Leeds any more so I'm right out of touch with the best places there now. Great city!

Scallop! Preferably in vinegar.

RightOnTheEdge · 18/04/2020 16:31

MrsGrindah I grew up near Coes and Skyliner too!

I really want fish and chips now but I need to resist. I've spent a fortune on shopping this week 😩

NW2SW · 18/04/2020 16:31

*drowned not preferably Hmm

CokeEnStock · 18/04/2020 16:31

Me want!

Bloodybridget · 18/04/2020 16:33

I'm thinking of having fish and chips for my birthday dinner in a couple of weeks.

koshkatt · 18/04/2020 16:34

I cannot eat starchy carbs but my God I want a chip butty on a soft white roll, butter, loads of salt and vinegar and a smidge of mayo.

I want it NOW.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 18/04/2020 16:34

None of our takeaways are open - there's nothing on Just Eat in my town anyway (weird I know but the population is rather old and there's no students or anything). I would love a chip butty, or pie and chips, or chicken fried rice and chips!

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 18/04/2020 16:37

Oh god I am so jealous, I bloody love a chippy dinner. With loads of thickly buttered bread and tea. Drooling.

SeaOtterFluff · 18/04/2020 16:37

We had takeaway last night. The teenager DCs had pizza, DH had a cheese burger and I had a doner kebab and chips. It was awesome. We've had wholesome meals for weeks and I needed some greasy junk food.

Cherrychops100 · 18/04/2020 16:38

You know that a takeaway is not essential. The fact that you even tried to cheer yourself up and got excited over a takeaway is awful. Really not ok!
Like other people have said on other posts, we must all be miserable, it seems to be compulsory to not have fun or enjoyment in anything. You should be ashamed.

SeaOtterFluff · 18/04/2020 16:38

So no, absolutely have two battered sausages and a pineapple fritter. You are justified.

Jaxhog · 18/04/2020 16:38

Don't forget the pickled egg and a saveloy!

speakout · 18/04/2020 16:39

We had one last night- first for months- it was lovely!!

Cherrychops100 · 18/04/2020 16:39

Now I'm just craving fish and chips lol 😂

SistemaAddict · 18/04/2020 16:40

I want a chip barm now!

MrsGrindah · 18/04/2020 16:41

@RightOnTheEdge Crossgates? @Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g Sadly I’m going back over 40 years too!

Scraps don’t forget you needs the scraps!

Ted27 · 18/04/2020 16:41

we had fish, chips and mushy peas delivered last night.

We are supposed to be in Wales on holiday and were missing our fish n chips on the beach.

SeaToSki · 18/04/2020 16:41

Nooooooooo

Im in the States and they just dont do fish and chips right. I thought I had made my peace with it (and just having loads of fish n chips when I visit my parents) but now

I really really want a chip shop dinner.

I cant even plan on my next treat as I cant see when travel will be sensible again.

MrsGrindah · 18/04/2020 16:42

Actually we live in the city centre now and about two weeks before lockdown I noticed a chippy had opened over the road . I though I must go there sometime... never did Sad

BobbinThreadbare123 · 18/04/2020 16:42

And a battered turd for afters! Probably couldn't eat one nowadays; too sweet!
