To think he is weird for putting fish and chips on a plate??

[ToddlerSAHM]

You just eat it on the paper/out of the box right?? 🙈😂

Always on a plate. I'm even confused by the people talking about eating on the beach. How does it work? Is there not grease and sand everywhere & how do you cut the fish while it's in the box?

All on a plate - home or away.
Our local pub does good f&c; the chips are crisp, not like the limp willies from most chippies. What lets them down is putting them in a silly mini chip basket

Wow thirty if you've never had chips on the beach (quay/other water places) you really have missed out!!!

They have a little wooden chip fork but we usually just get chips.

I'm even confused by the people talking about eating on the beach. How does it work? Is there not grease and sand everywhere & how do you cut the fish while it's in the box?

You sit on a bench or a wall. Why do you need cutlery for fish and chips? Just tear it apart using your fingers.

If sharing use plates, if in paper use plates. If not sharing and it's in a box use the box

??? You just tear bits of fish off to eat it at the beach, you don't cut it 😳 there's no grease anywhere except on the paper, and you just don't touch the sand while you're eating 😂 obviously not a regular beach goer!!!!

@thirtythrillionthreetrees have you never had a picnic at the beach?

😂

Why would anyone even think of eating fish and chips indoors?
They should be eaten out of the paper with the fingers.

Always on a plate as we share out the large chips and put our fish/pie/burger or whatever on the plates. We also have curry sauce and that would end up with bits of dissolved paper in it.

What is it tonight? The is the second chippy thread I’ve read and now I want chips!

Are people POURING the sauce on the chips?! Don't they go soggy? Oh no no no not where I'm from, it's a dip only 😂

One of the very best times of my life was after a lovely day out with a new man, ending with fish and chips on the beach (at Deal 😆) with the sun setting behind us.

It was at least a decade ago and it still makes me warm to think of it, even though the man is history!

We never eat it at home (because all the ones around here are crap) but on the rare occasions we do, it's on a plate.

Same as we decant any other takeaway onto a plate.

Always a plate or the curry sauce goes everywhere.

Ooh sorry but I love to smother mine in chip shop curry sauce!

Plate if at home

WHAT

On the beach us best, otherwise I’ll either put a plate under the paper or move everything onto the plate.

DH once brought home Big Mac and fries as a take away and we put it on a plate and honestly, it was a shock to see how massive it was- I thought I was going to be surprised by the smallness but quite the contrary.

I'm with you OP, we're an eat straight out the box family! It's the ultimate no washing up meal!

I eat them from the tray/paper with fingers no matter where I am. They taste better that way.

Always on a plate here, unless it's pizza when it's eaten out of the box.

But the curry sauce will soak through the paper surely?

Always on a plate.

Got to be on a plate. The tomato ketchup makes paper/cardboard soggy. So do the mini pickled onions

On a plate for me but out of the box for DH. I also use a knife and fork and DH uses his hands. We both think the other is weird.....

I also keep a knife, fork and pack of hand wipes in a sandwich bag in the car glove box in case we grab a chippy if we're out for the day.
