Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) I don't think any culinary high ground can be claimed by you southron's Punkstep. At least us northerners know that the correct accompaniment for jelly is cream, ice cream, and custard. Not eel. Edited June 4, 2015 by Lion_of_the_Midlands Quote
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2015 Every chippy batters burgers here. I haven't had a good one for years, though. Always seems to be a sloppy, tasteless burger inside, or brick-hard batter. If Burger King battered theirs I'd be in heaven. Quote
Paid Members stumobir Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2015 You haven't lived until you've tried battered pizza. Or black pudding. Or haggis. I fucking love batter. Quote

At least us northerners know that the correct accompaniment for jelly is cream, ice cream, and custard. Not eel. Ugh, jellied eels. I don't know a single person who eats them! I'm pretty sure only old men along the Estuary eat them. I bet you don't even get them in East London these days. Good, because they're rotten. Quote
Mr_Danger Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 A chippy by me does the fabled battered Mars bar. The one I had was rank, the batter was gross. I'd imagine it'd go down a treat in a less savoury batter with some ice cream though. Quote
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2015 Jellied eels are putrid - I've hardly ever encountered seafood I wouldn't eat, but that tastes like a mouthful of seawater Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2015 They're not seafood, are they? I thought they used river eels? Quote
Kamaras-Tash Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Do you Londoners have gravy? might be a stupid question but always remember seeing on of these fabled pie shops down there on tv and it was server with liqour and it looked fucking disgusting What's in it? looked like some weird parsley sauce or something Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Not at chippies, definitely not. That's a northern tradition. We do have curry sauce, though. Liquor is basically eel juice and parsley. Also rank, and also hardly consumed these days in London. Again, old men along the Estuary. Pie & Mash shops and cockney food in general are really popular these days. Edited June 4, 2015 by PunkStep Quote
Rey_Piste Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Liquor is a parsley sauce, once when I was in London I went to a pie shop for pie and mash. It was nice enough, but it would've been a lot nicer with gravy. Quote
Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 4, 2015 Author Moderators Posted June 4, 2015 Gravy, as I've stated before, is one of the five major food groups. It's wonderful. Quote
METAL ON METAL Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 A chippy near mine, the locally famous Katie Mac's, does the battered Mars Bar but they also do battered Kit-Kat's. Can't say I've ever been tempted to try though. Battered burgers are heavenly though, always thought they were common place in every chippy countrywide. Is cheesy chips primarily a northern thing too? Quote
The Cutting Edge Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Liquor is traditionally made from Jellied eels, but most places make it from Chicken/Veg stock with Malt vinegar and Parsley Quote
Paid Members stumobir Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2015 The battered mars bar is just a touristy gimmick thing, noone actually eats them. I've tried it once and not in any hurry to try it again and to be honest I probably wouldn't even know where to get it, I can't think of any chippies in the area that I've seen do them. Quote
Rey_Piste Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 You can get cheesy chips everywhere. Cheesy chips with kebab meat and garlic mayo is lovely. Quote
