Fishy Question

[PaulB]

I think it is a myth put around by Londoners and they get out-of-towners to eat them for a laugh.

Judging by the "flavour", I can believe it! There's no way I'm going to try that other cockney "delicacy" pie and mash and liquor!

Fishcake butties are just as fab as their fishfinger counterparts!
As for chip butties - man, that is food from heaven!
Sounds like your colleagues are a bit weird!

mmm... not as nice as a chips, potato and pasta baguette with a side salad of chips and rice, and crisps for afters.

They are very nice,iv even had mash with a touch of mayo in my sarny,believe me thats nice too.

mayonnaise is very fattening...

I don't think either are particularly nice combination really.
Like fried mars bars.

You like fried Mars bars!?

I thought about having one when I was in Glasgow last month, but Magnatom said they're not as 'popular' as they once were!

Respect.

When I was a lad the local chip shop use to deep fry the meat pies. Think I might make myself a salad.

When I were a lad way back when, we used to ask the chippy for "scraps", which was basically the fried drops of batter that were left floating in the frying pan. I think we got a bag of them for free or next to nothing.

Seems strange looking back on it, but it was the done thing at the time. Maybe just a Sheffield thing.

Now thats what we always get when have fish and chips,scraps love them.

We used to get them as well - and scallops, which, rather than being hand-dived gourmet molluscs, were thick slices of spud in batter, which you could get in a cob, slathered with salt and vinegar. The snack of choice was a beans mixed or peas mixed though. (This was usually after we'd wolfed down large cooked teas.)

And scollops were my fave many moons ago from a chippy called the penguin i think,not sure if its still there?

No I think that's universal, still been known to ask for extra batter (scraps) to this day.

this thread is making me incredibly hungry. i'm going to go make a fishfinger butty

 

[Maz]

I've just had a chip butty for my tea. Belgian chips cooked in beef dripping, thick white bread and butter and loads of salt and vinegar.

Whenever I buy chips, I have to ask them what they were cooked in, as I can only eat them if they're made with vegetable oil. Some of them tell me: "In a frying pan".

That's like some of our customers at work...ask them if they have wooden or upvc windows and they say glass!

 

[Maz]

They usually are cooked in oil in Leicester aren't they? Sheffield's usually dripping (or it was when I was there a few years back).

More places nowadays do use oil, I guess as a drive towards healthier eating, but dripping is still popular.

French stick, fish fingers with a veneer of tartar sauce and some shredded iceberg lettuce.
Ooooh, La-di-f**kin'-da.
