to give the dc chips from the chippy for lunch?

[bibbitybobbitybloodyaxe]

Just chips, mind, cos we are having a proper healthy dinner this evening.

They are 8 and nearly 11 and I have never done it before

So its ok, isn't it?

And wibu to have just chippy chips too? even though I could lose a few stone pounds?

i think it's fine, once in a while.

For goodness sake yes. Out of all takeaway food, aren't chippy chips supposed to be the least bad option? Plus delicious

Oh its a lovely treat on a saturday afty - buy some some fresh bread too and have chip butties .

That's 'Yes you should have chips', not 'yes it's unreasonable'. Obviously.

Chippychips are a real treat. Enjoy !

So unreasonable. Think of all of us reading this who DIDN'T have chips for lunch and now wish we had.

If it's a one-off, then fine.

Chips for Saturday lunch is a real treat here. Straight from the footy pitch to the chip shop. Yum!

Chippy chips once every now and then shouldn't do much harm. They're better than a lot of junk food and sweets are, since at least you know what's in them. You could always give them fruit or something else healthy afterwards, to assuage your conscience.

We did! I am feeling rough, DH is very jetlagged after a business trip and there is hardly any food in the house.

Does mushy peas count towards 5 a day?

Don't see why not! Ketchup might be pushing it though.

I want chips now!
Sparkling mushy peas are really good for you. Slimming World veterans will know they're a super speed food! (I think this means they make you poo?)

That's good, I love mushy peas.

It's fine, they are just potatoes! (admittedly deep fried) no added salt or sugar!

And I think they are a good source of vitamin d? Or a? Or one of the vitamins?*

*disclaimer, this could be complete bollocks!

AH but dont you do deep fried pizza in Scotland? How awful does that sound? Far worse than mushy peas

How did you manage so many years until now?! Have you not eaten them for 11 years too or just waited until they're in bed?
Deffo let them appreciate the yummyness of chippy chips. Mmmmm.

Curry sauce. Yum.

How have you got this far without going to the chippy!!!!

Threads like this make me smile. Especially the "as long as it's a one off" comments.

Bib, are you saying your DC have never had chips from a fish and chip ship before? Or just not for lunch...

I would have thought it was just for lunch.

They are chips not heroin!

Its chips not poison hope your DCs enjoyed their chips . of course its ok to give them chips
