Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted August 7, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 7, 2020 Picked up a Chippy Tea from our usual haunt tonight. It seems to have gone a bit shit since Covid. Just wasn't the same as before and they didn't even put a fucking lemon in! On a brighter note, the misses asked for Fish Bites and was given this unit I've never ordered Fish Bites before. Is this normal? I was expecting a few chicken nugget sized pieces. Anyways, fuck Covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members gmoney Posted August 7, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yeah those chips looks like they've been boiled. I'd smash the fish bits though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'd bite my own cock off for just one of those chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting fruit from the chippy? Strange times we live in. I suppose “blame covid” could be trotted out. Since everyone got bored of “blame Brexit.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted August 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2020 That feeling of biting in to a starchy, undercooked chip is horrid. Like nails on a chalk board. The chips from this place usually look pale, but they've always been soft and fluffy chunks of goodness. They weren't undercooked last night, but something was certainly off. Also, Lemon squeezed on battered fish is top drawer and I won't hear another word about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Pie Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 The only time a piece of lemon is appropriate with a chippy tea is if you're eating near seagulls and need to use it as a weapon to save your chippy tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you 18 weeks is a long time...but come on mate, those chips are paler than a Magic The Gathering tournament and the fish looks like it was caught shortly after its life began.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted August 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2020 There is a vast difference between pale but crisp and fluffy, and pale but flaccid. You can also get dark flaccid, it's all in the crisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenryck Pilchards Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 It all depends on the sugar content in the potato. The more sugar in the potato the more colour you get. White potatoes are shit for chips. The best are King Edward's and Russet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
