Chips

[8den]

Bournemouth.

Fair enough. It's just whenever I've left the pub in the UK, my options are shit kebabs, shit pizza or shit chicken. I'd long for a nice curry chips from a proper chipper.

 

[cesare]

Chips and creamed horseradish

 

[pogo 10]

Chips with mayonnaise and ketchup, mmmh.

 

[ViolentPanda]

There are NO CHIPS in my house. I'm having a fish finger sandwich instead.

A decent substitute, especially if you drizzle some sweet chilli sauce on the fish fingers.

 

[Roadkill]

The problem with British Chip shops is they close too early around half ten. When the proper best time to consume chips is on your way home from the pub at chucking out time.

Not my local one, thankfully, which is open until some ungodly hour, although tbf that's mainly because it also does fried chicken and so on. I don't think many people order fish and chips at 2 in the morning.

Sriracha picy sauce and cheese. It was delish. This isn't really the thread for this but... I like my fishfinger sandwiches with toasted bread and a bowl of cheapo noodles on the side.

 

[discokermit]

Where is this? Everywhere I've been in the UK and the proper chip shops are all shut by 10:30pm.

wolverhampton used to have a chippy that was open 23 hours a day.

Yetman you haven't bloody voted after all this have you?

gravy is a northern affectation that I can live with, I wouldn't have it by choice but if it was all there was as a condiment I'd totally yam that.


Great story I heard from Noel Gallagher (on the radio obvs, I don't know him), he goes into his northern chippy just before closing time and asks for the gravy but is told theres only one boat left and its been claimed by someone else. He turns round and its Ian Brown of the stone roses, who graciously shares the boat with him. Northerner solidarity.

Love it!
I'm highly, highly amused by the idea that a gravy boat could possibly ever exist in a Northern chippy.

Unless it's some sort of achingly trendy and poncy hipster joint doing some sort of arty farty ironic and knowing nonsense in a particularly rarified part of wealthy rural Cheshire.

Fucking hell if you didn't want to live in Wolverhampton there are easier ways to kills yourself than 3 cod and chips a day. Faster too. None as delicious though.

There are few savoury foods not improved by a spurt of Sirracha.

Well you know I'm not that bothered really, it's not a big deal is it?

I bought some tesco alphabet potato things the other day, mainly so I could spell swear words with them.

Not only were they absolutely disgusting but were missing the essential sweary letters, mainly c and u. I couldn't find a single fucking swear word.

I know they're not chips but I really didn't know where else I could get this off my chest.

Yeah birdseye potato waffles aren't so much a foodstuff more like proof that "mummy regrets having you".



Fuck potato waffles. They're a affront to chips and waffles.

mainly so I could spell swear words with them.

I have to ask, was there a reason you wanted to spell swear words with your meal, or was that just a whim? (A whim I applaud btw).

I know they're not chips but I really didn't know where else I could get this off my chest.

There. there.

I think you need compensatory chips. You could probably spell TITS at least. I'm going to have to try making swears with chips. Soon. I'm not actually having chips today. Fucking thread.

I don't have a deep fat frier at the moment, and every week my inlaws cook chips, and when I walk into their house, I can tell they have proper chips. They've offered to buy us one when we move into our new place.

Proper Katsu Curry. Tonkatsu. Proper Buffalo Wings. Chips.


Fuck.

Samosas too.

Chemistry bought a fryer about the same time as I started losing weight. It's going slowly.


Do we have a deep fat fryer thread?
Global Stoner Did you buy one or am I making stuff up?

 

[Thimble Queen]

I had some chips. They were good.

There. there.

Waffles are far nicer!

I just saw them and felt particularly juvenile.

I put them back twice whilst my husband gave me *the look* but I wanted them and they were a quid.

Ooh katsu curry! I tried to make this recently, it was a disaster. I am desperate for a wagamama visit, I can't get katsu curry anywhere else around here.

 

[cyberfairy]

I have just had (along with a halloumi and smoked mushroom burger) 'dirty fries' at a place in Preston- If i somehow unfortunately and surprisingly end up on Death Row, I will be asking for them as the calorific intake won't matter as much. Fries (a lot) covered in bean chilli, cheese, sour cream and guacamole. This was a side dish!

My 1st post college drop was a wagamama cook. I took the restaurant cookbook with me when I left. (the problem was the recipes were for restaurant amounts of sauce . Honest to god you could make a bathtub of stock or a bucket of marinade.

Trying to divide down the ingredients to make enough of something for 4 people led to some awful mistakes.

Tescos often sell katsu paste, and panko breadcrumbs in their posh food isles. But when my pregnant wife was craving katsu curry in Swansea late one night, oven baked breaded chicken with curry sauce will do in a pinch.

I love chips and have my Dad to thank/blame. He would fry up a big plate of them and then it was everyman for themselves trying to get them. I'm a saturate them in vinegar with just a taste of salt. With chippie chips it's just S&V but with fries I will do ketchup, chilli, bbq,mayo on the side but never over them. From Chinese I will have curry sauce and chips but never curry sauce with chippie ones. I love fritters though some folk call them scallops.

Oh when I was a kid my chips would literally drown in eyewatering amounts of vinegar.

I like waffles also. Sometimes I make a waffle stack with multiple waffles, beans and loadsa cheese in between the layers of waffles and an egg on top.

 

[souljacker]

I'm quite partial to a potato waffle. Egg on top, beans on the side. It's basically a poor mans FEB.

 

[trashpony]

I had totally fucking lovely fish and chips in Margate with keithy they were crisp and lovely and needed no condiments. I dreamt about them the other night

Peters Fish Bar? They do good chips

Poor veggie FEB. We've established to be a FEB it has to have egg, sausage and bacon, as a base.

Christ people on a chip appreication thread saying how much they like a reconstituted frozen potato.

List. I'm making one.
