Chippies

What is the perfect chippie?

What makes it the perfect chippie?

Discuss.

Battered Mushrooms

pickle o's

Good tools and natural skill.

Well it took a few years and several thousand posts, but at last Owens has contributed something meaningful to the board.

For the perfect chippy.

1- Choice of fish. 2- No Chinese Food 3- Option of size of chips portion. I.e Regular and large. 4- Hollands Pies. 5- Battered sausages 6- Potato Scollops 7- Does NOT sell baked beans.

Basically, Wilsons Fish bar in Romiley.

That one in that road off Picadilly Square in Manchester does some great scram.you know the one i mean, just near the record shops.anything you want they do.

also check out any falafel and schwarma outlets in Tel Aviv.they're ace

proper british chips nice hollands pies and steak puds fish for little more than 2 pound free tommy sauce

but the main plus of all is - chips in that grease proof paper like the OLD DAYS,rather than in a box/carton which steams your chips while you take them home.chips should not be fucking steamed.a chippy down town still uses paper and they are the best chips around

Except October !

Chippies should also NOT be selling Burgers.

What did you have last time you went to the Chippy Granbt?

I had Pudding, Chips, Peas and Gravy. No Salt and Vinegar.

Top bombing!

1. Haddock not cod (dirty fish)
2. Ben Shaws Dandelion and Burdock in the fridge.
3. Everything fried in beef dripping NOT vegetable oil.

why is it that however much chinese takeaway you get, there's always loads left over? even when you deliberately under-order to try and outwit it. it's like that bloody magic porridge pot.

its because chinese give large portions because they want to impress us so they can take over the world.which at the age of 17 i predicted they would do,due to size of population.its coming true now aint it.trade,fuel comsumtion and money,they are taking the world over

But this isnt a Chinese Takeaway thread, its a Chippy thread.

Usually opt for a pastie

Bingo!!!

best thing about chippies up north,i've been in scotland for 5 years and not found one that does them. Having said that haven't had a good fish and chips north of the border since i've been here.

you're absolutely right. i'm sorry.

yer buggers now i'm chomping at the bit for fish and chips at 11.30 am on a sunday.but the dilemma is i also feel like bacon, eggs and beans.either way it's raining outside so i'm gonna get soaked if i nip out for either

YOU ave a lot to LEARN,i do KNOW good chippies and WHAT to expect.But it is a KNOWLEDGE that can take 40 YEARS to garner.Meanwhile SAMPLE any takeaways YOU can.I used to have a PIZZA or a Kebab then a KENTUCKY B4 going home for a PROPER supper.But it as ALL gone very PC.And don't get me started on NUMBER of UNITS of ALCOHOL.It is a BLOODY disgrace.Rule of THUMB is EAT Too much,DRINK more than enough.......then at 48 go to the GYM.You die at 52 and bloody HAPPY but the wife OR girlfriend OR BOTH are VERY POOR! Now i only eat when someone ELSE is paying. SLIM Rocket....

Must have had too much yesterday!

longsight chippie on dickenson road. chippie heaven. chinese dont cook their chips for long enough. the gravy's gotta be right. no reheats either
