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

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

If you get a good fish supper there is no grease. You need to come to the East Neuk of Fife for a proper fish supper.

There's always sand on the walls or on the benches near the beach where I go, maybe we're unlucky with the weather but there's always a breeze that carries sand, it's not that loads of sand ends up in my food but enough to cause a gritty feeling in my mouth sometimes. It's like light sprinkling salt but sand instead.

It can be something like someone nearby dusting themselves off after hopping off the bench or wall themselves at the same time a breeze is heading my way, but I'm sensitive to it because and takes away the enjoyment of the food because there's a little bit of sand on my chips.

Aww what a shame 😔. Chips by the sea is a real pleasure of mine. That and sunsets!

Totally agree

They've never tasted better than when out out newspaper in the olden days. Must have been the chemicals in the ink. Ashamed to admit I use a plate.

Definitely off plates. Usually a large fish & chips is enough for two people, so that way you can divide it up. The paper is greasy too! And how do you eat the fish with a knife and fork if it’s still in the paper? And you need the plate for the sauces (I like tartare or mayo for the fish, ketchup for the chips, mushy peas on the side).
I’m northern and DH is southern and we both eat it off plates at home.

Plates here and sat at the kitchen table.

Biting chunks off it surely! Like you'd bite chunks off of a bacon sandwich or a snickers...??

Plate all the way, but Mr Toast is a weirdo because he transfers them from the paper using a serving spoon and fork like he's doing silver service!

Plate.

The paper soaks up the grease, so YABU. Put it on the plate and you’ll know by measure how much you’ve eaten.

All this talk of grease. You all need to find new chip shops!

Better in the air fryer and cheaper than the oven, works for any leftovers too next day.

The paper is just the packaging for transporting it home. Then put onto warmed
plates and eaten with knives and forks. Really can't imagine eating it at home out of greasy paper. How do you cut it up to eat?

YABU, love it on a plate.

Definitely on (warmed) plates. Fish and chip portions are absolutely massive, so we share one between three and there are still too many chips. Cheapest takeaway!

I likes a plate too.

That sound lovely @toomuchlaundry. I wouldn't be phased by seeing a civilised picnic. It was the fish and chips that threw me off. But I guess takeaway fish and chips al fresco is a picnic? Maybe it was the organisation that really threw me.
