Yorkshire people, is it bits or scraps?

[GetThatHelmetOn]

If you are from Yorkshire, where are you from and what do you call the crumbs that fall off fried fish?

Asking for a friend...

Bits!! West Yorkshire

@GetThatHelmetOn
Scraps - the scraps of batter that fall off fish

Bits - the hundreds and thousands that you get on an ice cream cone along with the red (raspberry?) sauce (juice) eg Do you want bits and juice on your cone?

South Yorks

Wait, there's a chippie in Wetwang? That could be really useful when visiting the old folks, thanks!

Scraps, of course btw. East Riding of Yorkshire.

Bits. I'm near Hudds. A fishcake is fish between potato slices and a battered potato slice is a scallop.

The chippy in Wetwang is one of the best, it gets busy though.

Time40 hate to break it to you but Wi'bits in Mirfield closed down about a year ago

Nooooo! I was up there about a month ago. I didn't actually stop in the town centre, but I drove through, and I could have sworn I saw it. One sees what one expects to see, I suppose. Oh dear - how sad.

Scraps in South Yorks.
Fishcakes don't have slices of potato in them.
Battered slices of potato are scallops.
So there.

I lived in Oxford, I worked at the hospital and there were a few northerners in the department, in the local chip shop they had a "chip butty" complete with speech marks on the menu with a description afterwards.

Having moved about a bit I can swap from batch to butty, to sandwich via a piece and whether it is a barm, barm cake, bred cake, roll, teacake, oven bottom or bun.

Oh and it's a ginnel.

What do you fine people call sweets? My granddad would say spice, I'm more familiar with spegs. When we first moved across the pennines my dad tried to buy some toffee in a sweet shop, he did not know that 'toffee' in Lancashire is any type of sweet. So in effect he went into a sweet shop and asked for sweets, and the woman apparently got a of a cob on when he just kept saying he wanted toffee.

@BarbaraofSeville was it a batch?

Bread cake
Ten foot
Pattie

@sashh we used to say spogs or some people said spice, for sweets.

Snicket for me, not a ginnel

A Battered potato/fish/potato is called a scone.
Extras are called Scraps.
The bread that you put chips into is called a Teacake.
That is all! - West Yorkshire.

A tea cake has sultanas in and you eat it toasted !
It’s a chip barm.

“Nicking off“ but I think that’s a Teesside thing.

I'm not from here originally and the other thing which confused me no end at first was casts = pots.
