To think he should ask for scraps?,

[Mammyloveswine]

DH called into our local chippy after work tonight, kindly bought me a bag of chips... yet no scraps (batter!).

He NEVER asks for scraps or claims they never have any...i mean is it even worth having chips without scraps on the top??

Aibu to LTB?

So as not to dripfeed... DH does not have scraps, salt nor vinegar on his chips...

We always get scraps, love them.

The only time I've seen scraps here in the south east was when M&S started selling them in little tubs. I assume they get thrown away at the chippies here.
Salt and vinegar is a necessity though.

You can't have a hips without scraps, salt and vinegar!!! What is he... crazy??

Newuser82... Chips give you hips!!

I'm a lifelong southerner now living in the North (for the last 8 years). I've never heard of scraps. I don't like vinegar on chips, and I prefer to add my own salt. I eat my fish and chips with ketchup. Gravy on a roast dinner - hell yes. With chips? Nope.

I’m Lancashire but we don’t have pea wet just mushy peas. We aren’t far from Yorkshire border so go across to chippy sometimes as DH prefers Yorkshire chippy chips cooked in beef dripping. We were in a chippy in hebden bridge that had stickers up saying we proudly fry in dripping, a woman and her bf came in and she said I’m vegan I’ll just have chips we were 🤔

I have another question. What’s the difference between steak and kidney pie and pudding? We only have pies in the chip shops here. I’ve heard of puddings but always assumed it was just a different regional word for pie until someone mentioned it on here today.
We have a couple of chippies that do orange chips and they are elite! I think they may be double cooked chips but not too sure??? I’ve always wondered if they were a local delicacy (Brum and Black Country) or if they do them elsewhere?

The Black Country Museum has a 1930’s chip shop where they cook the chips in either beef dripping or lard. Never tried them but there’s always a big queue

Pudding (I think!) is steamed and suet Pie is baked

A pudding has soft Suet pastry it’s different to a pie. They are steamed.

So if there's no gravy.....how do you eat your steak and kidney puddings? They have to be eaten on a tray with chips and gravy...it's the law!

Lizzy1980 that’s interesting it’s there too, it’s not a thing in Lancashire hence going over to Yorkshire.

I wonder if our beef dripping is vegan too 🤣

🤢 I'm with your DH, who wants the greasy dirty bits out the fryer.
However, I am not with him on the vinegar front, they should be swimming 🤣

I don't like batter so couldn't eat scraps 🤮 but salt and vinegar on chips is a must with a good squirt of salad cream 😋

@EssexLioness

Northerner moved down to the south many years ago. My biggest regret is that they don’t do scraps down here. Bloody love scraps!

You can buy little pots of scraps from M&S now!

Back home we used to call them 'scrapings' rather than scraps. Now living in the North West and the chippy doesn't do them at all, unless there is some secret under the counter code.

@userxx

I want my food to taste of itself plus I do not want it soggy. Gravy on crisp foods like chips, roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding etc is just plain silly unless you have no teeth

Bleugh... don't do dry food.

But why do you need your food to be soggy and wet?

Some foods are meant to be crisp. Why bother making chips or roast potatoes nice and crispy and then pouring gravy over them? Also they then taste of the gravy rather than the actual food.

For me (and DH) there is no food that needs gravy on it

@timestheyarechanging

I'm in London by the way snd I don't think it's a thing! Only experience is ex P who was from Yorkshire. But I do have to have lashings of salt and vinegar - non brewed condiment -like they have in the pie and mash shops snd seafood stalls. I Recently found out that Morrison's sell it, I'm delighted as it's a third of the price than in the fish and chip shop! It's called 'chip shop vinegar' if anyone wants some

The absolute devastation when someone sloshes vinegar over and its malt

I too buy my vinegar from the chippie...ive been known to eat bread soaked in the stuff with cheap salt and white pepper all over!

Its the pastry i think..pudding is also steamed not baked and made with suet i think ive just made this up based on watching the hairy bikers.

Northerner here, living down South. I've actually never had scraps although I know what they are. What's more upsetting is when chippies down south don't do gravy. The state of it!

Hes just ordered chinese and got a bloody omelette... its definitely D I V O R C E time... 12 years and you think you know someone!!

From memory, Chinese omelettes are really nice.

@Bromse

From memory, Chinese omelettes are really nice.

He also ordered other dishes..(beef and veg thing) NO CHIPS (let alone salt and chilli chips!!) and boiled rice instead of egg fried...
