Would it be awful of me to tell you that my lovely husband just took me out for the best cod n' chips in town?

I don't like fish.

malt vinegar and ketchup????
I'd die for cod and chips right now!

cindyabs

Malt vinegar, no ketchup and no skin on the cod. Looks like Friday will be a Cracker Barrel Fish and Chips night.

Mummy in the foothills

Yes it would be awful of you to tell me We are having Chicken and chips tonight

meauxna

But of course! Can't eat all those chips.. the portion is so huge!



But you have to love Chef Jim up there!

Must be how you keep your girlish figure.

Jerseygirl

Those chips have skins on. No self respecting English chippy would leave the skins on. (Although I do like the skins)

meauxna

Ahem.
He's Scottish.

And we had a lovely chat with another customer who waxed poetic about the Yorkshire Dales, where he has people, so there I was feeling all warm and fuzzy about you.
DH says it's the real deal, skins or no.

Poppy girl

Yes it would tell the old man I am not happy

We had a London Fish and Chips open a few weeks back, not been there yet, I already know what it will be like

meauxna

Yeah, we've got one right around the corner & the guy's from just around the corner from where DH lived. He fries in dripping & everything but it's just not That Good.

These ones are to die for. I'm sure he'll take you there next time you are in town (it's a little bit grotty but that's part of the charm, right?)

Hmm... that's what I thought. And they don't quite look greasy enough.

Compare these:

Poppy girl

My mouth is watering

Jerseygirl

They were also a little on the thick side for chippy chips...but I didn't want to offend Mo.

candy wy.

sacrilege....how dare you:curse: they are an insult to the good old english fish and chips..

Juswus

yes it would be totally awful of you to tell us that
