    It has been a while but they were superb and there was a queue to get in to seat or take away

    Christmas is still rolling, buffet about to start, in-laws late as ever

      Well, there's Northern fish and chips and Southern fish and chips.....

      Wife and eldest daughter laid up ill, so Christmas dinner was down to self and younger daughter. Needless to say the operation ran like clockwork, though I ended up holding the baby and eating dinner one-handed (plenty of experience of that).

        and it is such pity that you have only experienced the wrong ones, I was trying to be as diplomatic as possible LOL

            Don't you just love this forum, any visitors must wonder who these " strange people are " no mention of, well hardly any of modelling but talk about the merits of Southern / Northern Fish and Chips.
            They need to be cooked in beef lard and not this new fangled vegetable oil, not my words but a friend from Up North.
            Sorry to read Peter that Katherine is struck down along with the eldest. Hope the baby stays well .

              Hi chaps.

              I suspect everyone swears by their own favourite chip shop and how to cook them etc. My wife has early memories of going to the chip shop with her grandfather, an ex miner, in Ferryhill Co. Durham. He just went up to the counter and said ''Twice.'' Last fish and chips I had wrapped in actual newspaper was in Hull, c.1985.

                      Great chip chat, well done......
                      Just out of interest, and to extend the knowledge a little, my Gran came from Hastings, and always had Rock Huss and chips when we went back visiting. She never asked for “Rock and chips” though, to her it was always “Robin’ us” . Probably a local Hastings thing....
                      Cheers

                          Lee - Thanks for putting the thread back on track!

                          To the rest of you, chips are GOD'S OWN FOOD and a little banter at Christmas, however mad, drives away the winter blues.

                          Jim - I had rock once, not realising that it is actually dogfish (hence the poor man's cod). Quite strong tasting as I remember. Not a great fish fan, so it's usually pie time for me.
