To ask what's your 'go too' takeaway from the chipper?

Following on from the thread where the poster asked if she should get a takeaway from the chipper in a Friday, what's your usual go too takeaway?

Either battered sausage or a quarter pounder with cheese for me, sometimes with a portion of onion rings, except for Supermacs (Irish chipper) when it'll always be a chicken fillet sandwich.

ALWAYS a garlic and cheese chip, regardless of what chipper I go to. I think that might be just an Irish thing though? Not quite sure.

Go TO. (Too means in addition/as well as.)

Seriously,do you feel better now you've corrected the OP? This is a chat site not an English paper 🙄

Cod and chips for me. We don't have garlic saucey stuff in this neck of the woods😂

ibblebibbledibble · 13/04/2019 16:32

Oh I’m hungry now
Cod, chips, pickled egg, curry sauce and a can of Dr Pepper for me 😋

CaptainHammer · 13/04/2019 16:35

Kids cod and chips, curry sauce and a cream soda or battered sausage, cheesy chips, curry sauce and cream soda.

I have dinner planned but might have to get chips now instead!

Clevs · 13/04/2019 16:36

Spring roll, chips and curry sauce.

However, our chippy rarely has spring rolls cooked so if I'm in a rush I'll have a fishcake or mini fish depending on what's in the cabinet.

CMOTDibbler · 13/04/2019 16:43

Chicken meat and chips, or a GF cod and chips (if I remember to call ahead and its a Friday).

It's a chippy here on the Yorkshire coast. Its got to be fish, chips and scraps with lashings of vinegar. Bloomin gorgeous they are too. Biased maybe, but they don't taste as nice anywhere else in the country

DrCoconut · 13/04/2019 16:54

Yabbers, I interpret supper as a bowl of cereal or some toast that you eat immediately before going to bed Grin. The bloke in the chippy was probably baffled. I love regional variations in things and am sad that our local chippies do not sell pea fritters having sampled them on holiday. My ex was surprised by the specials that virtually all chippies serve here (a main item, smaller portion of chips and peas curry or gravy, fits perfectly on a tray and budget friendly). Apparently they are not a thing everywhere.

Breathingfire · 13/04/2019 17:00

Never heard of chipper either. Cod, chips and tartar sauce for me

If I'm at the beach I'll also have mushy peas and an ice cold coca cola

Hollowvictory · 13/04/2019 17:03

A saveloy with a side order of battered sausage?

RuggerHug · 13/04/2019 17:04

Curry cheese chip baguette with jalapenos, potato cakes(swimming in vinegar) and a rock shandy.

Lush.

I must live in the only Irish town with no chipper. We have a recently added Supermacs but it's no contest for real Chipper chips i believe. My parents vehemently disapproved of junk food so I never had it growing up but recently at the ripe old age of 50 had my first proper chipper chips (and fish) in McDonagh's in Galway. Oh my god it was amazing! And curry sauce! They opened at noon and by 5 past it was heaving - on a Tuesday in the middle of term time. I was not surprised and will have to hold myself back from making a stop there on a daily regular basis.

SrSteveOskowski · 13/04/2019 17:47

@Taneartagam, ah you have to give Supermacs a try all the same. If not a chicken fillet sandwich then definitely a 5oz burger, and it goes without saying that you'll have to have an all garlic and cheese chip.

God I'm feckin starving now! Grin

We say chippy and i get a fish supper with tons of salt and vinegar and a pickle, DH gets a sausage supper. Yum!

ChristinaMarlowe · 13/04/2019 17:54

@Celebelly I live in Devon - what the hell is a fish supper if not a fish supper?! Are you sure he wasn't having you in?! 😂 I want chips and cheese now

ChristinaMarlowe · 13/04/2019 17:56

*waits for someone to patronisingly explain it's "having you on" and not "in" due to autocorrect fail as they did to the OP...

cricketballs3 · 13/04/2019 18:00

Steak & kidney pie, chips and gravy - got to be decent gravy though any rubbish and I will never, ever go there again (I also rate any restaurant by the standard of their gravy non of this runny jus crap, proper meat stock thick gravy Grin)

Rainsunshine · 13/04/2019 18:00

Cheesy chips and curry with lots of salt and vinegar.

Having worked in a chippy and seeing all the vile things that went on (Cod worms and wiping up the scraps with a rag and then people asking for them on their chips) 🤢 there’s little I’ll eat from a chippy

BrokenWing · 13/04/2019 18:02

We only do a chippie 2-3 times a year as dh and ds aren't keen on them. I always get deep fried onion pizza supper.

NameChangeNugget · 13/04/2019 18:06

Love the regional differences.

Never heard of a chipper or a steak pie supper before today.

Cod & Chips, curry sauce and a wally for me Grin

BBInGinDrinking · 13/04/2019 18:12

Battered fish, chips and mushy peas, with lots of salt and vinegar and possibly a squeeze of lemon - actually, not quite as much salt these days. Can be cod or haddock but it all has to be hot, and freshly and perfectly cooked. We're fussy about our fish suppers, especially as it's an occasional treat and we're taking in a lot of calories! Served with shandy, cloudy lemonade or dandelion and burdock for the DCs, chilled white wine or beer for the adults, or builders' tea for everyone, and we've even had it with champagne for a celebration meal. Lovely, especially by the sea, and if you know where to go for reliable quality.

Soontobe60 · 13/04/2019 18:15

Chippy tea is always fish, chips, scallops, pea fritter and grave. Loads of salt n vinny. White sliced bread and butter to make a chip butty.

Jebuschristchocolatebar · 13/04/2019 18:16

Is a deep fried pizza what I am imagining? An actual pizza immersed in hot oil? Also what is a savaloy?

IncrediblySadToo · 13/04/2019 18:17

It’s s Chippy or The Chip Shop here too (SE) but our local Chippy’s are fabulous for the waistline. Soggy chips. Bleurgh.

All is not lost though, we have a Chip Van once a week that is AMAZING. It’s a long wait 30-60 minutes as it’s all cooked fresh and is crunchy goodness.

Mine’s a Haloumi (3 sticks) & Med chips with bread & butter 😋.

...it’s just as well it’s only a possibility once a week & that often we can’t get there on that night 😂

I miss potato fritters though, no one around here does them again, possibly not such a bad thing!

chillychicken · 13/04/2019 18:18

When we go to the “chip shop” I either have 2 x fishcake, chips and curry sauce or jumbo sausage, chips and curry sauce. Partial to a pineapple fritter too.

BBInGinDrinking · 13/04/2019 18:19

I forgot to add handmade Yorkshire fishcakes. Slices of potato, fish in the middle, cooked in batter and served hot with lots of vinegar. Accept no round, covered in breadcrumbs, shop-bought, factory-made, imposters.
