Chips
Was down at friends in Somerset over the Easter Break and they introduced me to a lovely fish and chip thing that they have down there, its sounds disgusting but it was FANTASTIC, it was: Chips, Grated Cheese and Fried Onions on top!!!! Its guaranteed to ensure weight gain immediately but it was lovely, anybody got anything else food wise they are going to miss?

Mmm I think so, but would be hard pushed to find a saveloy though from a Aus chippie I would imagine, must admit I hardly ever eat Fish and Chips but sometimes nothing else will do.

Yep have to agree about the fish & chips at Balmoral - we had prawn cutlets, baby octopus, squid rings, fish - with sweet chilli dip etc. It was amazing - it was everyone for themselves though - there were 10 of us & the kids used their elbows with great effect to make sure they got tp the prawn cutlets first.
YUMMY - making me feel hungry now.

You found a good chippy in Oz.
That must have taken some time.
I was most disappointed with the Aussie's efferts:
No battered fish (always crumbed)
No mushy peas
Walked into my first asked for fish, chips and mushy peas they just looked at me like a 3 headed alien.
Guess its all good for the waist line if I dont frequent the chippy so often.

There are probably very very few places in the world where you would get mushy peas with fish & chips .Michaela, almost every fish & chip shop & takeaway I have been into has vinegar! You only have to ask for it!!
And if a "saveloy" is a type of sausage, then yes, you will get them here as well

I'm hung up on mushy peas because i like them with my chips.
All I was offered as an alternative was tartare sauce.

See, I miss more aussie food stuffs when I'm here in the UK than I do pommie stuff when I'm in Oz.
I miss sushi in Sydney with a passion. YOu can't get proper sushi in Cambridge
I miss lollies - esp warheads, ripe raspberries, and, most of all killer pythons
Mr B misses Burger Rings and Twisties. And proper burgers with pineapple and beetroot in them.
Got to agree on the seafood thing too, especially after a particularly divine meal in Byron...mmmmm....

Hi Leanda,
You've never been to Scotland, then?
I remember my Nan serving that when I was a kid. Sometimes I make it as well.
Best by far, though, Is the cheese and jam sandwich. Strawberry jam and slices of cheese.
Your mouth will love you forever!
