I think a lot of the random stuff is just 'unidentified fried fritters'. Rey, no gravy or curry I'm afraid. You're getting a coronary in a box for a tenner, you can plump extra for a bit of sauce. There's battered burgers there isn't there? That looks amazing. I've just had a slightly stale sandwich and that has made so jealous. Our local chippy has gone so down hill it's crazy. They even gave me food poisoning last year. There's pretty much no alternative unless you drive (I don't). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted August 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 20, 2018 The chippies around here are a bit odd. The closest one to us is called Ye Olde Reindeer for no discernible reason. Doesn't sell reindeer, not even deep fried. The ones in the next villages along in the opposite direction are owned by the same family. I may have mentioned Radwan before so if I'm repeating myself I apologise but he is what they would call A "Character" around here but in environmental health terms he would be called "A reformed character". Radwan used to own Chez Radwan which was far more low rent than it sounds. If you went out for a night on the town in the 80s/90s in Lincoln the walk down the pedestrianised part of the high street to the taxis always included a slight detour down to Radwan's kebab shop. The kebabs were fucking awful, rank chips, and burgers that an #EatClean specialist would turn there nose up at. You still had to go though, it was almost a rite of passage to see if you could survive the combination of alcohol/food poisoning you were sure to face. You would also lose a few quid in the bandit that flashed enticingly against the wall. The jackpot was always on the verge of paying out but never quite would. I suspect that was the same in all chippies everywhere.  Having moved out of town he has cleaned up his act, quite literally as it happens. The old Radwans was closed about half a dozen times due to food hygiene breaches. The new Radwan has 2 chippies both with 5 star ratings. The only thing that I don't like is the third kebab meat. The 2 traditional great turning legs of lamb doner and chicken doner have been joined by chicken tikka doner that is an unhealthy looking purplish colour that looks more like your old nan's thrombosis ridden leg than an actual foodstuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'm really tempted to start a Tumblr of fish and chip shop menu signs. Does anyone in the thread mind if I pinch your images? Completely uncredited because, fuck it it's Tumblr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 A very obscure reference / callback.  Someone moaned about their cousin blanking them at work and to make matters worse, they got a lift home from a balding asian man who wasn't cool.  I implied it was you and got angrily said it wasn't.  You said you're a balding uncool African.

Oh yeah! I remember him. That sounds about right. Now, if you don't mind, I'm off for my evening repast of salmon en croute with sautéed potatoes and steamed samphire, followed by a nice dairy dessert of baked egg custard tart.   Ocean Colour Scene.
