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.

Had my first one last night. It's the small pleasures....Have also managed to get a couple of small disposable barbecues ready for when the weather dries up again.

Aragog · 18/04/2020 17:39

We had one on Tuesday :)

Its a curry night tonight. DD's favourite curry house has reopened for delivery and collections so ordering from them in a while.

I’ve ordered chippy tonight and I’m soooo excited! It should be here any minute so just made a brew in anticipation Grin

Doobedoobedoobe · 18/04/2020 17:44

Our local chippy does, wait for it... battered black pudding slices. They are honestly divine! I don’t know how I lived without them before trying them Grin

LittleTopic · 18/04/2020 17:52

Oh goddddd I am so jealous.

Medium cod, sausage, chips (with salt and vinegar), curry sauce, and a roll for a curry chop butty.

cries in the corner

battered black pudding slices

Where is this! Do they deliver, or where can I rent helicopter?

Grumpbum123 · 18/04/2020 17:53

Love fish and chips with battered sausage however I have to pick the batter off as I don’t like it!

maddiemookins16mum · 18/04/2020 17:53

I’m awaiting a Chinese as I type and DD is having Chinese chips and sweet/sour pork balls.

The day before lockdown was announced but we all knew it was coming, I went to my local chippie and bought a bag of chips and ate in the park. It was sooooo good - they were just closing so the lady gave me all the chips that were left and all the scraps too. It was about the size of three regular bags. I shared it with a friendly crow and between us we managed to polish of nearly of them. One of my happiest memories of The Beforetimes.

My chippie reopened for deliveries yesterday but we're all veggie and the only veggie thing they do is chips. Not sure it's worth having three bags of chips delivered. I'm going to hold out until we can eat chips at the seaside again. Mmmmmmchips.

Enjoy your dinner, OP!

WorraLiberty · 18/04/2020 17:57

Oooh we had fish and chips last night from our local chippy. It was lovely Grin

HolaVida · 18/04/2020 18:05

Entirely because of this thread, we’ve just ordered a chippy tea!!!!!!

tiredanddangerous · 18/04/2020 18:07

There are two chippies in my town and they’re both closed Sad

There’s not a single Chinese left on just eat either. I think takeaways are gradually closing down. Even dominos has drastically reduced its menu.

tessiegirl · 18/04/2020 18:09

Just waiting for ours to arrive! Our chippy has stayed open the whole time and of course we are supporting them by having chips weekly HmmGrin
I have saveloy and chips
Dh burger and chips
Dd fish and chips!!!!Wink

Amimissingsomethinghere · 18/04/2020 18:12

Omg I'm so jealous!!! No where near me delivers and I'm now drooling!

Lemonblast · 18/04/2020 18:12

Just chips.
With vinegar.

Maybe gravy at a push.

bloodyhellsbellsx · 18/04/2020 18:13

Okay I need to unfollow this thread now because it’s getting too much 🤣

ednclouda · 18/04/2020 18:13

oh my battered black pudding sounds superb

Melroses · 18/04/2020 18:14

Our village chippy opens twice a week.

You go in and order and pay with contactless, then you go outside and hang around at 2m intervals until they bring it outside for you.

It makes everyone very happy. Grin

LemsipLemsipLemsip · 18/04/2020 18:17

I could murder a potato scallop right now.

Lozz22 · 18/04/2020 18:17

@DeadBod no fish, chips, mushy peas and scraps for me too. I'm East Riding

wowfudge · 18/04/2020 18:18

All the chippies in our area are closed. We've had a couple of Chinese takeaways though and I've made chicken balti for tea. Battered black pudding sounds amazing!

Dk20 · 18/04/2020 18:18

Dp has gone to get ours, I chose chips, battered sausage, curry sauce and onion rings. Cant wait now Smile

spiderlight · 18/04/2020 18:18

Ours will be here in half an hour, and I've just discovered that they do pineapple fritters!!!

BananaLoafer · 18/04/2020 18:18

Our local Indian restaurant reopened for takeaway last night and I could’ve cried with gratitude and delight when our curry turned up. It was so, so good. I slept so well last night, with belly full of deliciousness Grin.

Now I want fish n chips! Cod, chips, a pickled onion and a gherkin with lashings of salt, vinegar and ketchup.

nuttymomma · 18/04/2020 18:18

I've had takeaways too but only from those that do contactless delivery (payment in advance).

I'm concerned at how many take aways are opening up and still taking cash, letting people queue up, letting drivers deliver and take cash with no gloves or social distancing from the customer.

The ice cream van has just come around the street and DD wanted a cone but you don't know where he's been or how clean his van is. Plus there was a huge queue of neighbours all right next to each other.

I'm concerned that businesses are making up their own rules about when to open and how to open.
