What does everyone get from the chippie?

[Indecisivejo]

Title says it all :)

Cod, pattie and scraps with loads of salt and vinegar.

Deep fried mars bars are really sweet - more so than a normal mars bar. But delicious.

In Edinburgh I always go to L'Alba D'oro www.lalbadoro.com/

Only chip shop ever to get a write up in the Times.

Cod and chips

fish supper with salt and vinegar

Dd has scampi or kebab meat n chips

Pre veggie I'd have cod roe chips and mushy peas

Now I have pizza crunch chips and mushy peas.

Soggy chips = fryer not hot enough

Forgot to post my order earlier, cod and mushy peas extra sugar & vinegar in the peas.
Chips can be such a disappointment I don't order them anymore, good chippy chips are the food of the gods, but too many are either undercooked or been in the hotbox too long, or cooked in fat that is too fresh or to old To be good chippy chips yes I worked a chippy when younger

I'm not keen on the batter so I either get a special fish supper or chicken Kiev supper, with chippy sauce and a pickle (Scotland)

Katarzyna79 loads of places round here (West Yorkshire) fry in vegetable oil. When I lived in Hull I had a couple of run-ins with animal fat though. I do think you can taste the difference.

Battered Mars Bars are super sickly, I've had one but struggled to finish it. Best if you can find someone to share with!

Heavens to Betty. 2 excellent chippies near me. One does haddock, chips, battered sausages, chips, gravy, mushy peas. The other does the same, but also adds plaice and scampi.
That's it.
I walk in, give the fish fried a nod and say "twice" so he knows to put the fish in.
This is Yorkshire. My theory is, places that don't traditionally have good fish have to branch out into deep fried mars bars and the like. You don't get any of that malarkey in Whitby, for instance. Ooh no.

Chips & gravy with a buttered barm or steak pudding, chips & gravy.

Occasionally fish & chips but prefer to go to a 'sit in' chippy for that.

Whatever I have it has to have LOADS of vinegar.

Chips then we buy steaks from the shop across the road and I fry them.

Cheese and onion fry it, chips and mushy peas. God I'm salivating just thinking about it. Hungover as hell and could murder that right now...

Nothing - they dont change their oil often enough and the food is greasy!

Used to get sausage and chips but there are no decent fish and chip places near me now

Alba Doro in Edinburgh is the best by a mile

Chips, peas and gravy. Or fishcake, chips and peas

Nooooooo - Scottish chippies are pants! (if you are like me and can't eat fish at least)
DCs get fish suppers but I just have chips and peas - but the peas aren't proper mushy peas.
I did used to get a pie but I had to ask them not to deep fry it and they give you a funny look and then it gets microwaved...(So soggy - but deep fried puff pastry is even worse ... Battered pizza is also swimming with grease (and I am not generally fussy about fatty things but both are stomach-turningly greasy)

Our local chippie do do 'potato fritters' which are what I'd call scallop potatoes (big slices of potato, battered) but they only do them on quite days of the week.
And in the SE England it was just as bad ...
When I go back to NW England to visit family one of the first things I do is visit the chippie to get a (steak) pudding, chips and peas. (I also get meat and potato pies ...another thing you don't seem to be able to get anywhere else in the UK)

What hang on... They deep fry the pie?!

Is battered pizza a normal thing then not just in the odd place?

Where I am NE they do ...when I first came I went to a chippie which is near the university (so lots of students living around) and he asked me fried or not - I choose not but was a bit .
Then moved a bit further out and asked for a steak pie in another chippie and they didn't ask me and I got it deep fried....and it was a puff pastry pie - I actually couldn't eat the pastry ... I had to ask for it not be fried every time I went there and got a 'you want it microwaved ?'
Moved a bit further away and they also deep fry pies unless you ask them not to...and you have to call your order out from the back of the queue - with an English accent in a packed chippie I have decided probably just better not to have a pie...
And battered pizza afaik everywhere locally ... I've never tried one but one of DDs friends asked for one after a day out and the bottom of the box it came in was almost see through with grease...and in fact another of her friends had one from another chippie ...and it seemed the same...

ihave I live in a place that's famous for its fish. Probably why they don't mess around.

sausage, chips, mushy peas and gravy.
Dh has babys yed, chips, mushy peas and gravy.
The kids like chips sausage and curry sauce.

We stayed with friends down sarf and asked for these things and the man said you're not from round here are you? We don't do gravy, mushy peas, everything was so dry, I said "ave you ewt moist to put on there"?

Whaaaaat? I can understand some of the differences... But where do you live that has neither mushy peas or curry sauce? The 7th level of hell?!?! I'm (now) South, but really? 'It's a crime!!!

Chips, cheese & curry sauce

Amazing

Can I add chips, cheese, and gravy or chips, cheese, and curry?

Newfangled thing round these chippies but chips, cheese, and curry is AMAZING.

Salene - YES!!!
