I've just asked for a 'Super Porkie Single Supper'

Surely the veggie option is just the same cooked in vegetable oil?

We had trouble finding anywhere in Orkney that did that. Beef dripping is the norm in the chippies up there. Makes the chips taste amazing tbf but yeah, veggie options a bit limited.

What's a red pudding, iona? (Assuming you’ve made it that far down the menu
)

Red puddings are one of the great lost foods of Scotland!

Since Lawsons of Dyce, who made by far the best of them, went belly-up in 2002, I have only ever encountered one worthy of the name.

Most you find these days are like a big flabby/tasteless sausage - A proper one should have quite a bit of bacon minced into it, which gave it a much better taste/texture and its distinctive colour.

If you have found a good one, enjoy it!

Good to see Battered Mars Bar on that list. Important that there's a veggie option. Unless that's cooked in lard, of course.

I think c&o patties might be a cheese and onion version of the meat patties they do here? Not sure what they fry them in mind! Battered mars bar is probably for the tourists I imagine.

If you have found a good one, enjoy it!

I haven't, theirs is the flabby tasteless sausage type. The good ones do sound good though!

Also. It's all been cooked in beef dripping. The chips taste fucking amazing.

I did an open top tour bus in Brussels and they made a big deal out of the fact they cook their frites in beef dripping. I mean like multiple mentions at different points of the journey. It was like s cultural point of national pride.

I dunno mate it’s just the brand of the delivery module

Like this yeah

In Australia they have these in every chippy but with an important distinction. They must have a pointy spout designed specifically for injecting the sauce directly into an unopened pie.

I always associated beef dripping with Yorkshire, somehow- esp. Bradford / Leeds / Halifax.
