From the Chippie i also miss Spam fritters corned beef fritters mushy pea fritters and Vimto.

And battered burgers. Fishcakes too.

Oh noes.
Now I really really want a battered sausage & there is no chance.

I have burger thawed out and may just give it a shot today. As Canada's Food Guide stipulates; something from the burger group, something from the fries group, something from the beer group, and something from the excessively sweet group.

Lol I didn't realize what I'd started! Sorry for making others end up sharing in my current despair :-)

Please tell me the spam, corned beef and mushy pea fritters are not actual things! I never came across them and never want to, haha

Yep they are all actual things, all battered and deep fried

Rissoles

I like the sound of that guide.

I just did a normal burger mix; chopped green onion, bread crumbs, an egg, and Montreal steak spice. I thought they were good. Used my usual beer batter and corn starch instead of corn flour.

Love it! Was it as easy as it sounds? I've never done batter before!

We'll just come round, haha

Absolutely easy! I haven't watched the guy's batter video yet but my method is simple. I use about 3/4 cup of flour, a good rounded tsp of baking powder, same of cornstarch, large pinch of salt, 1/2 can of beer or so to nice gooey consistency. A tiny bit of flour or beer will correct for too thin or too thick. I kept the size and thickness of the patties under control, coated with cornstarch as per the vid so the batter sticks well, and 8 or 10 minutes was about right. There should be no stopping you now!

Caretaker, you need to have a crack at a Scottish chip shop classic... the mock chop

Or the deep fried Mars bar

Thanks!

I'll need to try it sometime (soon!). I assume the deep-frying was just the same way as the video? Another thing I've never actually done!

P.S. - those chips also look amazing! I assume you deep fried them too?

Thanks!
