to wish chippies here gave you scraps

[ssd]

god I love scraps, with salt and vinegar on them

we used to get them on holiday in England, bloody loved them

Bacon. Tea. Cake.

Sounds horrific.

I live between London and the South Coast. They aren't available at any chippy I know of and it's a total bummer. I went out with someone from the Wirral for a few years and scrappins are the only thing I miss about him.

Teacake has fruit in it to me
Many, many drunken arguments. I thought a cob was a horse but apparently that can also be bread

Mmm Cips ‘n Bits

Chips obvs!

I'm north east and we have always called it batter 'fish and chips with extra batter'. I always thought they were the bits that fell off the fish, rather than something they made specially. And a bun would be a chip stottie, but a stottie is a very specific type of bread, quite different from a bun/bap/barm - a chip stottie is the food of gods

Ew never heard of it before. Don't think they do it here in Surrey.

Bread is the great divider.

I give you a bunny.

And sod yer scraps.

What about specials.

Scraps in Norfolk. One chippy used to offer a scrap butty and ohmyfuckinggoodgod it was all I could do not to fall to my knees and promise to worship them forever after one mouthful of fried batter buttery soft white bread goodness.

I think a couple of stalls on Norwich market might still do them... and suddenly my weekend looks brighter.

Scottish did you use oil or beef fat, we use beef fat

Scraps are a bit Marmite, it seems.

I'll raise you a pig cake.

Scraps in Yorkshire. Also we call baps/rolls/ barms.....breadcakes. I thought they were breadcakes everywhere until I moved cities and nobody knew what I was talking about.

Another thing I miss from my home city....a proper Yorkshire fishcake! First time I asked for a fishcake here I got what we call a rissole. Still bloody bugs me that I can't buy I proper fishcake from any chippy.

Chip butty in the NE where I am but I like a ham and peas pudding stottie

We call them scratchings, I want some now!

Scraps & Pea Wet on a barm. The food of Gods. Get over to the NW!

Waves at fellow Yorkshire lass must. I will not get fish and chips outside Yorkshire because they're not as good anywhere else. Haddock, beef dripping, breadcakes, scraps, and proper fishcakes all the way.

Pea juice and crispy bits. That's what you want.

In fact I'll raise you, scraps, pea wet and a babby's 'yed.
Us northerners know how to do 'chippy tea'.

LOVE scraps. We called them 'crispies' where I grew up.

In the good old days when I was a bairn, we used to take newspapers the to fish and chip shop for them to wrap the chips in - we got a bag of batter with salt and vinegar as payment.

It was lovely!

East Midlands and never heard of them!

Never heard of them. They sound awful. Sorry. They must be a southern thing.

Foxyloxy- I'm from Yorkshire too and we definatly call them scraps here. And nobody says barm, it's a bun. Bread bun. Yorkshire is a big place!
I'm amazed by the number of people in here who don't know what scraps are. I just thought they were an all over the country thing. I have no idea why they are regional, but probably because traditionally we are much poorer up here and nothing food wise would go to waste. Scraps have as far as I know never been a charagble item so they would be a good way to get calories for no cost when things were very tight on the money front.
And just so people who don't have them understand, they are not left in the fat. When the fryer is taking the fish out he will use his big scooper to ' trawl' the fryer of the tiny bits. These are generally put in the hot plate which also drains any excess fat off. They are very crispy, and taste delicious. But obviously a tad high on the calorie front.!!!

You could buy a bag of scraps for 5p when I was a lass..... (I think they are foul btw)

Waves at Barb I love a bit on Hendo Relish on my meat and potato pie too mmm, everything tastes better in Yorkshire.
