BiffingtonClyro Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Stilton on a steak. Not a sauce but slices of Stilton. I'm not sure if that'd odd or not, I believe it may be some what unusual hence the post, but it is amazing if you haven't tried it.Battered black pudding is also a delight.Battered black puddin is all the rage in Glasgow, and has been for years. I'm curious to know: What does a run of the mill chippy in England or Wales actually sell, apart from the obvious Fish? In Scotland we have deep fried pizzas, chicken, sausage, white pudding, haggis, mince pies and the like. Is Scotland so far ahead in the chip shop game that you don't have these delicacies down south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted January 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Typical midlands chippy will sell fish, chips, fishcakes, sausages (either battered or plain), beefburgers (battered or plain) doner kebab, chicken kebab, Pukka pies, turkey sticks, mushy peas, curry sauce, gravy. Some sell pizzas, chicken or pickled eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted January 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Typical midlands chippy will sell fish, chips, fishcakes, sausages (either battered or plain), beefburgers (battered or plain) doner kebab, chicken kebab, Pukka pies, turkey sticks, mushy peas, curry sauce, gravy. Some sell pizzas, chicken or pickled eggs.My nearest chippy, which just opened last year and is only about a 2-minute walk, does some gorgeous fried chicken. My health and bank balance are in serious danger.EDIT: Most chippies I know do chicken nuggets too. Maybe that's just an East Midlands thing, although I can't imagine things are quite that region-specific in the chip shop game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffingtonClyro Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Never seen a cake of fish in a Glasgow chippy. My local Indian does haggis pakora which are fucking dynamite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted January 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Down Skeggy you could generally get the midlands stuff, but with some skate, nice bit of halibut, some delicious cod roe, and cod awful flavorless yorkshire fishcakes.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 10, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 10, 2012 In my neck, it's Fish (Nameless. Probably a fucking Sprat), Sausage, Cheeseburger, Chicken burger, Fry-It, Scallops, Peter's Pie, Roast Chicken (Fried, not roasted), Fishcake, sizeable array of half decent Chinese food.

Rey_Piste Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 My local does the whole gamut of fast food, though the really nice chippy does some dead posh stuff like goujons of monkfish. They even do salads and I don't mean some limp lettuce, dried up cucumber and a watery slioce of tomato. http://hanburys.net/Hanburys-Takeaway-Menu-2011.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spotlightmagnet1 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have to eat things in order. There are some exceptions but I very rarely mix up the order of my food. IE, if I had a burger and chips, I won't touch my chips until the burgers gone. It's just who I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 In response to Chippy menu's the north, or at rather Preston, are a barren place.  Fish, Chips, Sausage, Meat and Potato Pies, Butter Pies (Potato and Onion), Peppered Steak Pies, Steak Pudding, Curry Sauce, Gravy, Mushy Peas and Scraps, mustnt forget scraps, Pickled Onions, Pickled Eggs, Barms  Battered Sausage and Scallops/Potato Fritters are rare as rocking horse shit up here.  Occasionally there are places that do Kebabs and Spam Fritters, Chicken Burgers and Spring Rolls. Many of the Chip Shops are asian owned (and of those some have started selling Samosas, and Fried Chicken etc), or Chinese, and those that arent stick to very traditional, very small menu's and have some really odd opening hours  My local chippy has only recently extending its opening hours to 4 days a week, 5-10 for tea, after years of only opening 8-10 Mon, Weds, Thursday, 5-6 and 8-10 Friday, and dinner times. Others include ones that open 12-1 and 4.30-6.30 , 4 days a week and so on.  Its not like being back in Glos, where my local chippy was open 11.15-2 and then 4.15- Closing time for the local pub (time varied) and pretty much did everything under the sun.  If you are ever in Lytham/Blackpool/Thornton Cleveleys, I recommend checking out Seniors Fish and Chip Shops as seen here, they are much better than the 'Gordon Ramsay has been to our shop' Whelans, which are helluva greasy and rank. Indeed Seniors has just been voted 3rd best Chippy in the UK for 2011, and regularly appears on those top 10 things on MSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'm loving spaghetti with brown sauce all over the top. Nothing else on it apart from the spaghetti and brown sauce. It actually is quite good.If you're feeling a bit game, put some Branston Pickle over the pasta rather than the brown sauce. Tangy.
