Fish and chip story

[LakeFlyPie]

WTF is on the bottom of the plate in this BBC news story?
Any fish and chipper that serves a turd on the plate should be closed down IMHO!

It looks like a turd gherkin

Is it a gherkin?

Ahh, I'm up north and we have mushy peas not gherkins with our chippy tea!

I'm northern and we deffo don't have gherkins with our chippy. Although I do love them!
I went to Suffolk and they serve gherkins at chippys and they call them wallys! Also the chippies down south are mad expensive.

A chippy near here has a jar of gerkins (again up north) I am pretty sure it’s purely decorational!

Gherkin with fish and chips!?! They deserve to go out of business!!

They don't even have scraps down South.
perverts
I know levelling up is all the rage just now but I think we should tread with caution.

Hold the phone - no scraps down south? Really. WTAF.

Gherkin with F&Cs? That’s disgusting, bad enough they try to sneak them in a BigMac…

Gherkins with fish and chips?? Whatever next!

I agree about expensive!

Treated husband my 2 primary aged girls to a chippy as a treat and it cost £36 😳
2 large cod & chips, 2 bartered sausages and another chips, bloody crazy!

Op it's a gerkin 🤣 in it' true form, not sliced as per McDonald's

Wally with fish and chips is a surprisingly good combo.

I’m from the south, mushy peas here all the way, not sure who the fuck is having a gherkin with their fish and chips.

I’m afraid to say I don’t know what “scraps” refers to. (Running to duck and cover.)

We have 'gribbles' in the South West, I reckon that's the same as 'scraps'.

And if you ask for fish, chips, peas and gravy they give you the gravy separate in a pot.
As though you're the weird one wanting gravy with it. 🙄 * *

The acid in the gherkin cuts through the fat. Delicious! I prefer the little ones though, the big ones are a bit watery and not as crisp we're not talking about willies here

A turd 😂😂😂😂that has made me laugh this morning !
I'm southern and always get a pickled gherkin ( Wally ) served on the side ... you can even add a pickled egg though I'm
Not that adventurous

It looks like one of those repulsive sausages that some chippies sell.

In South London, you can get scraps/crackling. Just wish we could find a chippy that does spam fritters. The ready made ones you can buy just don’t cut it…

But you have tartare sauce with fish, and that's predominantly gherkins and mayo. Fellow northener here too.

The mixing together to make a sauce makes all the difference. 🤣

I'm a gherkin fan and all for trying one with my fish and chips. Would prefer one that's less turd like though
