Re: Fish and Chips

I remember a trend for serving chips in polystyrene cones which was a massive rip off as you got a much smaller portion... cone con

I recall the day decimalisation came in ... the sweets shops ( penny tray) took the opportunity to rip us kids off bigtime !!

Re: Fish and Chips

I think that the stopped using polystyrene cartons in the 1990s because of the fact that they were harmful to the environment and gave out various gases and so on. McDonald's Big Mac and McChcken Sandwich cartons used to be like that until the Green brigade in the early 1990s got upset about them.

I also think that fish and chip shops used to stop serving meals in newspaper because of Heath and Safety as well - a member of my family got some fish and chips wrapped in local newspaper and the date of the newspaper was about five years old - the mind boggles!

Re: Fish and Chips

What about chips in those polystyrene cartons not too keen on them dont think they are the same as eating them from paper,mushy peas are yummy and a slice of lemon for the fish oh I can smell them now even it's only 6.40 in the morning lol

Re: Fish and Chips

We must be a bit civilized here as we get fish and/or chips in plain brown paper with nothing printed on it. The Newspaper is the next layer; so no ink on ours. Never found any real fish & chips in the U.S. west coast from Alaska to California, they all get it wrong. Usually breaded fish, not battered for one thing, and never heard of malt vinegar usually (I can't have mushy peas anyway so I don't miss that). Some will actually serve something from frozen called Tater Tots in place of chips, gads!

Lovely place to stay - I stayed on Westover Road and it was brilliant!

If you cannot get fish and chips from seaside places, then where can you go?

Win the lotto and move on that's if you play the game the set for life is best one 1.50 line top prize 10k a month for 30 years how wonderful

I gave up after winning £10 back in 1996, but if I did win the Lottery or had the WWTBAM jackpot (bearing in mind that I have never entered for that in my life), I would choose a house in the middle of the countryside, or even the coast. When I visited Bournemouth last year, I was talking about this on the thread that I started last September.

Speaking of Bournemouth, I will get back on topic and say that the Harry Ramsdens in Bournemouth do great fish and chips as well! - I have also sampled them from their Eastbourne takeaway in 2014 as well.

Re: Fish and Chips

I love fish and chips straight from the paper, i sit in my lounge with it and cover it in ketchup.
I eat the batter first, then check the fish for bones before i eat it.
Does anyone else check for bones?

Yes, it is one of the few City areas where Conservative councillors get a good chance of getting elected - I used to live within the city boundary, and Wollaton would have been my choice of place to live if I couldn't move beyond the boundary. Thankfully, I could move out with a bit of help, and so did just
that.
