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

What is a scrap?

Oh this is making me want some chips with extra batter! How anyone can dislike batter I don't know.

My local chippie does

Have looooads of scraps

Mind you, the chips are cooked in beef dripping too so not suitable for vegetarians

I’m in the North East and they are called batter. Heaven in a white bread buttered stottie from Greggs with extra vinegar and chips.

If you’re ordering fish and chips here you’d say something like ‘fish and two bags with extra batter please’. The bags are the chips.

Fishbits!!

They're called scratchings here!!

Davros I always have a wally! I’m not 100%. Sure but think that’s definitely a London originated name. Scampi, chips and a wally, with a cup of tea! Best dinner ever. Ketchup on one side of the plate, tartare on the other.

They are called crispy bits

Love them.

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

Most chip shops in Norwich certainly do them. I haven't had them from the market for a while but they used to do them too.

I was introduced to scraps by my yorkshire dp, sadly we can’t get them up here in Scotland. If you take your own Scottish chippy sauce with you and then have scraps too it’s heaven, heaven I tell ya!

any of you lucky buggers that can get scraps want to post a pic of them?

Katmunchkin - do you go to Kongs chippy? Best chips and gravy with fishbits.

MrsP - I'm inclined to think scranchems is almost exclusively mackem? Lots of my older family members were/are from Sunderland.

None of our local chippies here do them almost enough to make me move back to Norfolk!

Anyone know where I can get them ion the bucks/west london/Herts border? I'm prepared to travel to get scraps again!

South East Wales here and they are scratchings. Love them

I can’t tolerate gluten and I am feeling a deep sadness reading this thread

I now live down south and they don't have scraps down here. So sad.

A Barm cake is a round, soft bread that is buttered and stuffed with chips, fish or whatever. An oven bottom if you're really lucky.

Scraps are the scraps (weird name eh) of batter that has fallen off the fish. Very tasty. Count as one of your five a day.

Gravy is what your pour over the fish and chips... And mushy peas are obligatory on fish and chips.

What the fuck is a wally?

Monkey Hanger here. We call them scraps.

OP do you like special fish?

No Lucyccc, mines Georges in North Nottinghamshire

Wtf is pea wet??? Saw it way up the thread but thought it was a typo but now someone else has put it too.

They are called gribbles where I'm from - don't know why!
