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?

My dh is from the 'seaside'. Ds loves a trip to grandmas for chip shop chips. She lives a 5 minute walk from the beach. The fish & chips there are the best.

Chips from the chippy by the seaside-yum.

Did you know mushy peas are actually yellow and dyed green?! I quite like them!

Thank goodness. I would have had to significantly alter my mental image of you otherwise. Still, never having eaten chips from the paper at the seaside? Hmm. Cultural impoverishment...

I used to work in a chippy, and the chips are made with fresh potatoes, cooked quickly in very hot oil, thus retaining their Vitamin C. Your Honour.

Fish and chips from Whitstable are the BEST!

northern, do people really buy the pickled eggs?

I cannot believe someone is asking this question.

How the heck have you managed to bring up two children?

Sparklingbaubles No! They are merely decorative

I wa surprised you even asked! Mind you - that comes from someone who was tempted to ask a few nights ago if toad in the hole was ok after my mum made a comment on it

Oh and I love a cone, not bag of chippy chips with a pickled egg :D
My child will not eat chips in any form so I hardly ever get to eat it....

Oh no, what's wrong with toad in the hole? Do tell tiger.

We dont even have a decent chippy nearby!! Lucky you. Go for it!

Once in a while, and all that.....

Why are you asking us this OP?? It's up to you what you give your children to eat. Is it some sort of stealth boast that they have supposedly never had chip shop chips? Get a life.

Oh dear God, some people really have no sense of humour/irony/basic intelligence whatsoever - do they?

Yes, SHAME on you for stealth boasting OP!!

Chippy chips with a big dollop of Mayo to dip them in, mmmmmmmmm

sparklingbaubles some toads are hallucinogenic, so you need to make sure you get the right ones otherwise the kids are up all night.

Fred it's DS2's favourite as well.

I walked past our chippy at lunchtime to drop some dry cleaning in. Smelled divine, am jealous.

Love the idea of going to the chippy being a stealth boast bibbity.

Once, we had a chinese buffet for lunch.

The other day I saw someone eating a pie in a roll

Mine get chipper chips sometimes and it's a lovely treat. Although BIL took the three of them for a day ( it was an emergency) and when i picked them up, proudly declared the two year old loved sausages in batter and the other two wolfed down steak pie and chips

Mmmm,a big,fat chip sandwich in white bread.

When we were on holiday (in UK-north) it seemed to be the done thing to walk round eating a steaming hot meat pie out of the foil. No cutlery-just stick your head in it and eat. Only once did I see a bloke eating it with a teaspoon. [shocked]

Norman that's so funny I bet they loved it.

Dont knock the deep fried pizza till you have tried it I wanted chippie for tea tonight but i was outvoted for the chinese , all that salt and gloop is a heart attack in a tub
