Paid Members DEF 850 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think it might just be a south thing that we don't get battered burgers. At least round Reading I don't know one chippy that does them. My eyes popped out of my head when I saw them at my old local in Cheltenham. I've no idea if all battered burgers are as good as these but they were pretty heart cloggingly special. I definitely agree about kebabs. A good one is as good as any other food on earth. There's a shop in Rugby that does them on Naan's and their meat is proper spicey. That ones definitely in my top 3 Kebabs of all time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members PunkStep 6,066 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Battered burgers?? Nah, not down here. I've never heard of them until this thread. Then again, you northerners would put your mum in batter if you had half a bleedin' chance. Edited June 4, 2015 by PunkStep Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious 1,389 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 U wot, mate? you saying my mums battered? There was a supermarket chain in Nottingham that used to sell a pie with a filling of a cheeseburger, ie a burger with cheese in the middle. Greasy delight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands 3,689 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme 639 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members stumobir 649 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 You haven't lived until you've tried battered pizza. Or black pudding. Or haggis. I fucking love batter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Danger 3,413 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious 1,389 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members PunkStep 6,066 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 They're not seafood, are they? I thought they used river eels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kamaras-Tash 125 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members PunkStep 6,066 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Rey_Piste 875 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators PowerButchi 7,659 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Gravy, as I've stated before, is one of the five major food groups. It's wonderful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
METAL ON METAL 80 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
