Poncy fish and chips wtf

[ArseholesFlatfish]

We ate out today and I had fishnchips
The fish was cooked in tempura batter,the seven chunky chips where placed in a nice little pile and they didnt have mushy peas they had crushed minted petit pois

I dont know about you but I like getting my gob round a nice thick batter that can stand being smothered in vinegar and mushy peas and ketchup and does not disintegrate like tissue paper.

That gorden bluey has a lot to answer for

well why go to a poncy fish and chip place then?

WTF indeed. I hate this. I hate it and I'm a complete ponce. That Jenga game construction of chips - what are they thinking? Or worse, when they're served in a cone of fake newspaper. And minted petits pois - that's just wrong.

I much prefer a tempura better.

Batter.

chip shops in the south are crap. you can't even get gravy! or scraps.

What TartyDoris said. Come to Yorkshire for proper fish and chips!

well in live down south and our local chippy is blardy lovely

Who remembers when real fish and chips were served in real newspaper, none of this white greaseproof rubbish?

The ink ran and added a tang to the taste of the fish.

I would suggest that those who have never experienced it bring home some fish and chips and try it, but I expect modern printing methods use ink which would not taste the same. Ah well!

Umm ! Chips, cheese and gravy !! or Chips, cheese and curry sauce !!

Oh no I love Jenga chips - and fake paper cones! I am easily impressed but that does sound yummy. Not the same as "proper" fish and chips of course, but still a time and place for it

I live in the bloody South and really really really miss cake and chips.

Not sure about poncey but I live in the S.E and it was a revelation when I visited the Midlands where DH is from and had decent fish and chips cooked beef dripping

I like to visit the in-laws as often as possible. They think I love them

Minted tiny peas sound nice but not with a takeaway FGS.

Did the chips come with aioli? That's proper wanky IMO.

I've started doing that Jenga thing with my son's Bird's Eye waffles.

Mmm, scraps. Have moved to the sw and miss scraps. And patties.

:o @ jenga chips

I'm obssessed now!!

Burgers served on a chopping board winds me right up as well. Or sometimes a bit of slate - who wants to eat off a bit of slate?

Esp hassled when you use your knife on the slate and it's like someone running their fingers down a blackboard

To be fair it sounds like you ordered fish and chips in a restaurant, not in a fish and chip shop. So you were not likely to get fish and chip shops chips. Go to a chippy if you need lard and ketchup :)

Although to be fair our local chippy is pretty poncey - halibut, home made crab cakes, wine, rick stein and gordon ramsay have been and they have framed the signed napkins etc.

I want chips now...

Mushy peas

Off on holiday to Bamburgh next week. I'm so looking forward to fish and chips from Seahouses. Drool.

I live in S.E and always have scraps with my chips

Mmmm mushy peas
