Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted September 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2019 I've had both versions, the mash version and the slice of potato version. They are both nice. A chippy that used to be near me that has now closed used to do what they called a Yorkshire fritter. Which was 2 slices of potato cut into a square with a square cut out of the middle. In the square in the middle was 2 folded to fit cheese slices. The whole thing was battered and fried. You would have the outer potato square enclosing a pool of molten cheese inside the crispy batter. I don't know what was inherently Yorkshire about it. It was nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 12, 2019 Moderators Share Posted September 12, 2019 I've never had one and didn't know what it was until now either. Sounds nice. That Yorkshire fritter sounds great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted September 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2019 A Scallop is also a type of seafood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted September 12, 2019 Yeah, if they're doing scallops on Masterchef it's not usually deep fried mash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 12, 2019 Moderators Share Posted September 12, 2019 Though it'd be inherently superior if it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will confuse the contestants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I had an unorthodox chippy tea, scallops in Brum are 30p each so bought three and got them drenched in curry sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted September 25, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 25, 2019 Late finish last night and got to the chippy as they were closing. Gave them a fiver and said give me whatever you've got done for that much. could have done without the polystyrene box but the 2 battered jumbo sausage and the scallop were cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted September 27, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 27, 2019 @Devon Malcolm, someone just told me the Seashell has changed hands again and has a new name.  This person Is a bit of a cock, but I wondered if he was speaking the truth for once?
