This is how it feels. My mum likes them but suffers a bit in the belly if she has too many so her and partner always ask for half and half so she eats mostly the normal chips. Mrs raid loves them, although as a recently naturalised citizen I should probably start forcing her to have bread n butter with her chippy tea, put milk in her tea etc "so she can be proper British" and various other things I don't do myself.

Everything was even better than last time. Cod tastier, chips crisper, curry sauce fruitier. Mrs raid again instead I tried their onion rings and though I wasn’t sure I could be bothered, they were the “beer battered” type and delicious. Shit photos, keen to dig in as I was, cod’s still hidden by chips, but great eating.   Edited May 31, 2023 by air_raid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted June 4, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 4, 2023 So, went to Rhyl yesterday, I felt right at home however as the town was absolutely awash with Man United shirts, which is quite lost on the way to Wembley. Anyhoo mid-afternoon Mrs raid got bitten by the chippy bug as often happens by the sea and I was delighted to see how close we were to Les & Rita’s Fish Bar, so headed over. To further my long standing belief that everything is cyclical, this came back around ; On 4/23/2019 at 11:05 AM, air_raid said: A couple of times recently I've had battered haddock for my fish choice (at my gal's request) - the thought arises, why have I been wasting my life on cod? Not long ago we had a small disagreement ; I insist she was the first to suggest haddock instead of cod, she says it was me and that she never ordered it before me. Anyhoo, upon ordering, the staff told me it was haddock rather than cod, and I approved. WELL… this was a game changing experience. Chips had great flavour and were probably the crispest I’ve had from a chippy in memory. Fish was out of this world. Minor quibble, she salted the fish side of the carton so fish was too salted and chips not salty enough, but I’m nitpicking. Very satisfied with one portion between us for £8 odd, which was all required as we had a proper meal planned for the evening. Enjoyed in the shadow of the town hall a comfortable distance from a group of… well, at least drunkards but I’m tempted to say smackheads, while over the road a car park was cordoned off as a policeman up a ladder against a garden wall trained his gun at a bloke for infraction unknown. Broken Britain, you’re welcome to it. Went to the dentist & hygienist today so in much discomfort, so grateful Mrs raid snuck this treat in beforehand.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted June 7, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 7, 2023 Chips look decent though. Glad you're having fun exploring the 'Scouse Riviera'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were smackheads I worked in Rhyl once, and it remains the only place I've ever been that the theatre manager was proud to tell me that both the theatre and the sports centre had bullet proof glass in the windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both elements delicious if neither lived up to Rhyll. Hoped to post these earlier but much more stuff got in the way. Like popping the question to “Mrs raid” who now really IS going to be my Mrs, as it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted June 22, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 22, 2023 Way to go! That looks like a cracking chippy tea. The other thing is decent too I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted June 23, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2023 Sadly the chippy and proposal were not at the same time. About to go to Weston Super Mare on the way home, have been promised more chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
