What is your go to from the chippy? We are having one for dinner tonight and I fancy just chips with curry sauce to dip, usually I get a single black pudding with lots of salt on it and a chip butty with salt, vinegar and broon sauce.

What do you like?

One large haddock and chips, curry sauce. I then provide buttered bread and mushy peas from the cupboard and we share the lot.

I’m wondering if these are what I used to have ( rather too regularly at lunch) when I had to do relief duties in a mining village near there - they were essentially thinly battered fish cakes rather than breadcrumbed and had a lot of parsley in them - it’s 40 yearsago and I can taste them now!!! lol

Its sliced potato with cod or haddock in the middle and battered, never had parsley in but maybe they did the past.

Oh yep - I’ve had those too - we used to call them fish scallops - god I loved those as well . You just don’t get them down here in Bath -

Small cod and a cone of chips.

TheeNotoriousPIG · 31/05/2026 20:35

Pudding, chips and gravy! That is, of course, rag pudding, which is a Lancashire thing. My uncle was appalled to find that they didn't exist in chip shops elsewhere 😂

Oh, and a deep fried Mars bar!

FutureMandosWife · 31/05/2026 20:45

Either sausage supper with cheese or the pakora supper (6 pakora and chips)

hahabahbag · 31/05/2026 20:49

large haddock and chips to share

DeltaVariant · 31/05/2026 21:09

battered spam, pickled egg and chips

ladymalfoy · 31/05/2026 21:20

When in Whitby, small chips, scrapps, peas, loads of salt and vinegar then into the Endeavour for a pint to drink with it.

You're chippy does rice??

A lot of the chippies around Merseyside are Chinese so they do boiled rice.

You'll also be able to buy a savoury. It's a big ball of mashed potato and sage (about the size of a tennis ball), battered and fried.

Bear in mind that this is MN , where a roast chicken lasts all week, so lots of people don’t have a whole portion of chips to them selves. I’ve never met anyone in real life who shares chips.

Our locals portions truly are massive. Like imagine a Tesco bag for life, half filled with chips! That's one portion!!

We definitely share.

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 31/05/2026 21:46

Mmm either, large battered sausage with chips and curry sauce loads of salt, vinegar and ketchup or chicken and mushroom pie (needs to have a soggy bottom and crisp top!), chips and mushy peas and curry sauce lashings of salt and vinegar and ketchup on the mushy peas! And a dandelion and burdock.

No human could eat a whole portion of Yorkshire chips and the fish are huge too. Plus its a lot cheaper than some of the prices quoted. Those of you paying £20+ for so little food you can eat a portion of fish and chips to yourselves are being seriously ripped off. Here its about £10-12 for a very large portion, generally enough for two if you add peas and a slice of bread and butter each.

If with DP, we get a haddock each and a portion of chips. They rarely have cod here, which is fine as I much prefer haddock. There will almost certainly be leftovers.

If just me and I don’t want leftovers, I get a fishcake, which is fish sandwiched in slices of potato and fried in batter.

Well doesn’t sound remotely healthy but yep I would try that .

The black pudding is better.. im not a haggis fan mind you. Totally bad for you but well worth the extra healthy meals after it for a month 😆 🤣.

I see, that would be so good in scotland, id be happy with chips, rice and curry sauce 😋. Ohhh that savory sounds delicious..probably call it a tattie ball in Scotland though. Ohh even better if it was served inside a giant yorkie with gravy 😋 😋 😋

Whats on the pizza? I always get loads of salt on the pizza and everything on the chips. Defo buttering your own roll though, it always tastes better with the lurpak 😆 🤣

Onion all the way

Im not a bit salt fan but I do love a roll covered in vinegar

then, around 10pm, I finish off with a box of Gaviscon 😆

Latenightreader · 31/05/2026 22:23

Medium cod and a half chips (wallies added at home). My local chippy is so generous with the portions this feeds me, my daughter, and leaves chips left over!

FrangipaniBlue · 31/05/2026 22:23

Smokey sausage, chips, curry sauce, buttered roll and a pickled egg.

sometimes I push the boat out and ask for a bag of scraps with salt and vinegar on.
