one chip two chip
Its a real culture shock over here going to the chip shop...shall we tell them about it...????
My worst habit is that now I say 2 fish 1 chip, no mention of portions or even a please!!!!
What do you all think about our chippies...
(are we losing the plot here or getting low on things to talk about???)
Off to the chippie now...gonna get 4 meat fritters and 1 chip!!!!!!!

For the emigrating Scots, a battered sausage tastes just like red pudding (in my local chippy anway) - what a bonus!!
I'm never going back to Britain!! we have it all here now

Re: one chip two chip
I like the choice of fish - its huge 
snapper fillets are my fave. Tend not to actually bother with the chip!

Very impressed with the choice. I like snapper, have tried hoki and Takahini (Tahakini?) too, both good also. And the chips - HUGE portions eh? Fantastic

Re: one chip two chip
We have fish and chips every sunday evening... they are from the shop in the next village and absolutely lovely... even my little lad loves eating it. Youre right about the portions..... we have 1 portion of chips between the 3 of us and some still go in the bin.

Good grief! I'd best stick to the Fish then LOL!
