Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 25, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2017 That last bit. You've got a real point. Some of my fondest hours as a teen were spent exorcising arse-demons while reading through Dad's back catalogue of Viz. Quote
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 25, 2017 Author Moderators Posted January 25, 2017 My current read in there is Viz' Book of Adventure. A great choice for Jack Black and Silver fans. Which everyone is. Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 25, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2017 we don't get those down south. We do have a few chippies that do a southern fired roast potato like thing Potato surprise, it's called in most places. Lovely stuff. The skin doesn't go as crispy as it does for chicken, but still delicious. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 25, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2017 Deep fried giblets sounds grim. I've got no problem with offal but that sounds awful. I do draw the line at tripe though, and friblets. Quote

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 25, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2017 Wish I'd known about friblets when I was last in the West Country, that sounds cracking. My dad is a noted offal enthusiast, so I was brought up eating owt. Even ate bulls knackers on a ferry once, which is the most Partridgey thing I've ever said. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 25, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2017 No. I like kidney, I particularly like devilled kidney on toast. Kidney is lovely. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 25, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2017 Can we all agree, like everything else in the south, that their chippies are dump. They're shite. The range of pies on offer is especially shit. Not a Holland's in sight either. Quote

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 25, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2017 Well I still haven't recovered from the fact they don't do steak and kidney puddings down south, or cheese and onion pies in the chippies either. Piss poor. And don't get me started on their gravy either. Quote
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 25, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2017 Our gravy isn't good enough, I admit. But it's a small price to pay for having the correct number of toes on both feet. Quote
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 25, 2017 Author Moderators Posted January 25, 2017 7 toes isn't the correct number, Westcountry yokel. Quote
MungoChutney Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I can't believe any of you think you can beat Scotland in the deep frying stakes. We have scallops, although they're called fritters. Fair enough we don't have friblets but we do deep fry pizzas (in batter it's called pizza crunch), Mars bars and Creme Eggs at Easter. Quote
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 25, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Are you doing anything for Burns Night? I have a lot of time for the Scots due to that (love Haggis). Certainly better than the Welsh equivalent, where they probably serve pickled leeks or some such wankery. Edited January 25, 2017 by Gus Mears Quote
