Just had scraps for the first time

[Blossoms291]

Why aren't these a thing everywhere?! We're on holiday in Yorkshire, went to collect our chippy tea and they asked if I wanted 'fish, chips and scraps'. I didn't have a clue what scraps were but I said yes anyway. Delicious!! Gutted it's taken me 44 years to discover them!

I don't like the fish batter (or the fish, so its fishcakes for me in a chip supper!) either, but did used to get scraps - and loved them - as a child in Hampshire.

Not keen on stuff cooked in beef dripping either - although DH is a fan - but loved my grandma's toast and dripping when I was little 😋

Yes it's one of our things the rest of you are missing out on!!

I think this threads proven it's not a northern thing, although I guess that depends how far south you are

they were called bits where I grew up. A Yorkshire fish cake was two slices of potato with fish in the middle then battered. Amazing!

im intrigued
all I understood was gunel 🤣

🤣

Ginnels and snickets = alleyways (tend to be used interchangeably)
Beck = brook or small stream
Croggie = being given a lift on the back of a bike
Pushrod = bike
Pack up = packed lunch

Ta @JoanThursday , everydays a school day 😃

I like the occasional fish and chips but am not feeling the love for patties or scraps. 🤮

NB. They just can't make good fish and chips in the south, they are uniformly awful. But that levels out because you can't get Purbeck ice cream in the north. Nothing - not even the best ice cream parlours - can even compete!

We have a lovely fish and chip shop thanks @MarieIVanArkleStinks
dont you worry about us southerners, we can eat it on the beach too, makes it even better 👍

I'm in the Southwest and they are known as Scrumps around these parts.

They're called bits round here, but they'd know what you were talking about if you asked for scraps.

Fish n chips twice wi' bits please

@Sluj Klondyes because they are like little nuggets of gold, probably?

We used to buy a bag of scraps for 5p on the way home from Brownies.
They add them for free now. DH came out of a chippy a few months ago and said “They asked if I wanted extra……scraps? No idea what they meant but I said yes anyway”

Haha

Nottingham - where I had my first mushy pea cluster!
