to be disappinted, dismayed, disheartened, discombobulated, devastated, disconcerted, and pizzed off by the fact that the chippy

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

do not "do gravy on a Sunady"?

In? On. Fat fingers from too many chippy teas

I thought the North/South divide didn't exist until I read this thread. Gravy on chips, you weirdyweirdsters.

I'm a Londoner living in the north east. I can't get pickled onions in the chippy and all the sausages have been battered.

You should be counting your blessings the chippy's even open on a Sunday. They don't fish on a Saturday round these parts - therefore no chippy on a Sunday. Ditto Monday.

You're moaning about no gravy - even if we had gravy we'd have nothing to put it on. You don't know you're born.

I need chips. NEED.

curry sauce - yes

gravy - no

that is how it's written in my head the bible - i bet jesus wouldn't have had gravy on his fish

Chaos.

We have just had chips, battered sausage, gravy and curry sauce. Between me and the girls (DH is working).

Yum yum yum.

Thought I now feel bloated and as if I have my own gravitional pull from my gut.

Mushy peas down south are too mushy.

Oop north, they have a bit more substance.

I have researched this very well.

We have gravy in my local chip shop and that's in London. I must clearly live in the right place. And they are the Best. Chips. Ever. And they do the bits too.

Ooh bitbewildered - out chippy does smoked sausage too without batter.

Just showing off now!

YABU on 2 counts.

Firstly you should be grateful that your chippy is open on a Sunday at all -they all close in our town on Sundays which is a major PITA when you get back from a w/e away to an empty fridge.

Secondly, you want mushy peas not gravy

Mushy peas are of the devil.

My fondest memory of my wedding was a few days before with my family here from America and my family having real fish and chips for the first time.

I mean, other than the whole wedding thing, of course.

Norby.

I had chips and mushy peas and HeathenGravy.

It wasn;t perfect, but I loiked it.

Why would you batter a sausage? Why?

On the subject of the north/south divide, we went oop north to a wedding many years ago. On the eve of the wedding we arrived at our hotel in a small town and thought we'd nip to the chippy across the road.

It was the biggest chippy you've ever seen, no tables inside just a takeway. Being a veggie I was quite excited at the prospect of it having something veggie other than chips as it really was a huge place.

We wandered in and took a look at the menu behind the counter to find it had :

-fish and chips
-fish, chips and gravy
-chips and gravy
-chips

...and that was it

I am a northern lass living in the midlands, and my god, don't I miss my chips and gravy :(

Does not at all, on any day of the week, morning, noon, afternoon, evening or night, half moon or full moon, EVER sells gravy

Where were the pies & the puddings?

And the scallops?

And the jumbo sausages?

It was clearly not a proper chippy.

Brown sauce or ketchup?
My instinct tells me you are a ketchup girl...

scallops in a chippy

michelin starred chippy

@ UnChartered.

Not those type of scallops.

The battered potato ones.

When I was 11 we went to Blackpool on holiday. Had lunch one day in a seafront cafe and I ordered chicken and chips. It came with gravy poured all over it. I cried. Wouldn't eat it.

I am a fish, chips and gravy weeyurdo. And I've been gravy free for 2 days now. I signed the pledge. Now I'm tempted to eat my own words....with fish and gravy of course, Yum.....

You can't beat Hull chip spice on your chips.
