Paid Members stumobir 711 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share 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.

Rey_Piste 875 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 You can get cheesy chips everywhere. Cheesy chips with kebab meat and garlic mayo is lovely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious 1,393 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) I had a battered bounty in Skegness once. First bite was good enough, second bite was too much. I handed it off to a mate, whose experience was identical. I fucking love cod roe — people look at me sideways when I ask them to stick a battered roe on top of my order, though. I love how there's no pretense — they just take out a can, slice a can-diameter portion off into the batter, and straight in the fryer.

Kamaras-Tash 130 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Not had a battered burger in years, used to be able to get a cowboy supper from my local chippy in the north east which consisted of a battered burger, battered sausage, chips & beans it was a delight My usual order in a chippy still is a battered jumbo sausage, chips and curry sauce with extra batter ( or scraps where ever you're from ) over the chips Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Tommy! 3,496 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) You haven't lived until you've tried battered pizza. Or black pudding. Or haggis. I fucking love batter.I tried battered black pudding up by Bakewell.It was amazing and i cant recommend it enough to try if anyone see's it on their travel's. Edit: On scraps mentioned above, round here they are called batter bits but you don't see them much. I remember being in Yorkshire and being asked if I wanted scraps and not having a clue what she was talking about untill she scooped a load on anc I went "ohh, batter bits" in a horrid midlands twang Edited June 4, 2015 by Tommy!

Paid Members PunkStep 6,184 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Anyone ever had southern fried potatoes before? When I was a kid a lot of the chip shops used to sell them, but I haven't seen them in years. They were quite big, somewhere between a roast and a jacket, in a southern fried coating. Obviously not as crispy as fried chicken, but they were really nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Danger 3,576 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Chick-O-Land in Chester does/did them. First couple are dead nice but they get a bit much after that. Chick-O-Land also gave KFC a run for their money with burger quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's a chippy near my girlfriend's parents' house that sells these, quite near to the town centre. They call it Potato Surprise. Not tried it myself but my missus raves about it.

Paid Members Nick Soapdish 107 Posted June 4, 2015 Paid Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I had a deep fried snickers at an Irish bar in Downtown Disney. My want to try one was always pushed aside because of the batter taste. The one I had was an almost sweet batter, the opposite of what you have on fish. It was heavenly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
