Paid Members BigJag Posted August 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Just down the road from work is Bucks chippy. That's the spot that the office order comes from on a Friday. Very good chippy. Edited August 18, 2018 by BigJag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 18, 2018 None of the chippies near where I live are particularly shit hot, so I tend to get chicken & mushroom Pukka Pie, large chips swimming in onion vinegar and salt with a can of Dr Pep. Sometimes curry sauce, sometimes mushy peas. The chips aren't great, so I always look forward to visiting the chippy near my folks when we visit them, as theirs are bloody great. I never get fish from a chippy, I think it's overrated. I'd pick a battered sausage over a bit of cod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to comment that your menu was missing the brown nasty. Love a saveloy - but I've always thought it was an East End thing.

What's the general concencus then? I enjoy one but it's not my first choice main from a chippy. I did, but then I hate fish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyT Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) king ribs are fucking awesome. They are like the bbq rib burger things you get but deep fried. My locals seem to be crispy on the outside and almost gunge like between the meat and the batter. Soaked in vinegar and salt. A local thing to me you don't see anywhere else is crabsticks... those seafood stick things battered and deep fried. Usually only 30p odd each so a good accompaniment. It's also a chip supper not a chippy tea Edited August 18, 2018 by HeavyT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 18, 2018 I've never heard anyone call it a chip supper, ever. Fish supper, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted August 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 18, 2018 We just call the meal ‘fish & chips’ even if you don’t get a fish. ”Shall we get fish n chips tonight?” ”aye, I’ll have 3 battered sausages and big chips” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Does anyone ever get the spicy curry sauce? It's never even crossed my mind. Same for the mushroom gravy. Those chicken quarters always look a bit rank too, probably decent if cooked fresh though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did a Google a while back to see if anyone had the good sense to call their chippy Neptune's Pantry. Not a one. #brokenbritain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) My mate is from Ipswich and once described a Reubenesque lady as "No stranger to a fish supper", that was the first time I'd heard it called fish supper. I remember once The Night Touchers were riding out on Red Dead Redemption and Loki said "Got to go now, guys, got to have a bit of supper" Simultaneous laughter erupted from the rest of us at his poshness. Tarquin Suppertime was born. Edited August 18, 2018 by Keith Houchen More quinoa, darling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
