WIBU to ask for more chips?

[KatyaZamolodchikova]

We were supposed to be having salad tonight for tea but I —accidentally— ate most of the baby plum tomatoes this morning, so my penance was to pick up a chippy tea on the way home. It wasn’t busy, only one person in being detected when I got there. I ordered a fish butty for DP and a chip butty for me (no kids). I paid £6 all together (live in Yorkshire) and this is all I got!!

The chippy is local, and usually much more generous than this.

Was I being unreasonable to drive back to the chippy, via the bloody temporary traffic lights to ask where the rest of my chips were?

chip *butties!

The best one has only two

Irish & mild curry 🙂

£1.70 here for a portion of chippy chips and you get LOADS!

No one would seriously be planning a salad and then replace with a chip butty

Of course they would. Who in their right mind would fancy a miserable salad with all this chip butty talk?

Are savloys not a thing in Scotland?

I went to a chippy in a small town and he appeared to have no idea what I was on about.
To be fair, I'm very Southern and he was very Scots so neither of us had much of a clue what the other was asking.

@TinoTheArtisticMouse if you are ever passing through (or hungry on your mat leave) then try the Trawler at Drighlington. MASSIVE fish and best chips for miles!

@bluevelvet not that I've ever hears of. Aren't they tiny cocktail sausage things or am I thinking of something else?

That's crap. Well done for complaining.

I love this thread so much
No one being unreasonable ....

Eliza that is what I know them all as.

I'm having chips tonight......,,, all inspired by you Katya, you chip and bread/bun/bap/cob legend!

Sheworeblue velvet saveloy? Do you mean a battered sausage?

I've never had a chip butty forrin descent It sounds revolting and a waste of stomach space that could be filled with more chips. Lucky I'm on a diet and can't eat it

Looks disgusting

miserable salad

Speak for yourself!

That picture of the chip butty was only of the least appetising dinners I can imagine!

I’ll never get over the teeny portion of chips I got in Kent 20 years ago. The fish was ‘rock’ too. Not cod.

Yabu for making me crave for a chip butty and sending Hubby out now for one now. But yanbu to expect more chips. I love food and I’d have been very sad at the lack of chips 😂😂 🐖

@greendale17 there is nothing disgusting about a chip butty!!!

@huggybear It wasn't £6 it was £2. The £6 was for fish butty & chip butty.

Wait, you think £6 for a bread roll and a handful of fried potato is "very cheap?!" Get real.

Glad you weren't around during the war with rationing!

I love saveloys, but they have to crunch when you bite them, not be nasty boiled things!

They are not the same as a sausage-in-batter.

You can get battered jumbo sossies aswell.

@powerless

I think £6 for a treat is a very cheap tea!

While I've found it fascinating this thread has also been difficult. I absolutely hate the word "portion" and you keep writing it!

Is a saveloy a smoked sausage?

Total born and bred soft southerner here. Don't mind what you call it, barm, breadcake, roll, stottie etc I'll be eating it!
