I ate a full order last night, and now I feel as if I would like to purge my entire gastro-intestinal system. I am currently far more uncomfortable at his very moment than I would be had I just gone out and got drunk, then followed it up with a big curry.
Does anyone else find the sheer amount of calories, and especially calories-from-grease, utterly indigestible? 🙁
MTFU and go get some mcdonalds.
Get a life Fat Boy
Fish & Chips are ambrosia but only as long as they're cooked in beef dripping
the acid in a couple of pickled onions helps break down the grease. schoolboy error not having a few
I live abroad, you don't know how perfect all that sounds..........
(If there had maybe been a bit of chippy curry sauce too!)
Fish and chips = the blandest national dish going.
I think you've already discovered the solution to your problem.
In order to purge your entire gastro-intestinal system, go out and get drunk, then follow it up with a big curry.
I've just had bacon, egg and chips for lunch. With HP sauce.

Who told you it was a national dish?

So are you telling me that fish and chips is not one of England's national dishes?
Loads of coffee. That normally gets my insides going.

Well.... let that be a lesson to you! Would you like to contribute to the 'Every day's a school day' thread

Quite approriate then, seeing as we're one of the blandest nations going...

Very good point.

A little bit of takeaway trivia for you: perhaps surprisingly the first Indian restaurant was opened in [url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4290124.stm ]1810[/url], whilst the earliest claimed date for a chippy is around [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_and_chips ]1860[/url].
Maybe curry has a better claim to being our national dish than fish and chips?
Hmmm talking of fish "n" chips are we..
Round my way there was only 1 "chippy". For years it was packed out, queues around the car park on any given Thursday. They were very good mind, but I used to by pass them and pop in once every couple of months.
Roll on to now.. and we have four chippies, all popped up in the last couple of eyars. Each proclaim to be the "finest" yadda yadda.. and I've since used the nearest to me on a few occasions when miandering back from the Pub. Very good they are too I may add, with a choice of fish, chips that when scooped up look like you need some mini digger to get them in the paper wrapper. Far too many for our delicate bodies to consume so we share 1 portion between us and add in some mushy peas.
Not bad, not bad at all.
It's packed ut by the way, my local chippie. Whodathunkit??

I am well aware of the importance of curry to this country. However, fish and chips is ONE of England's national dishes, do you not agree?
Pretty sure fish and chips is a French derived dish
Poisson et pommes frites? Do me a quaver. They'd probably put salad cream on it. </casual xenophobia>
No, Jamie Oliver said on the telly the other night the Jews invented fish & chips. He also said they invented smoked salmon.
He's a ****in idiot, he really is.
Fish & chips is awesome. Was down in Padstow last week so had to sample them from Rick Stein's place. £8 a go but flippin heck they were good. Sat in the harbour with a can of coke, dark, warm, some busker playing the guitar (well I may add) and the lights twinking around the harbour. Perfect...

One of the few good things about living in Belgium was the frites shop in the middle of the square just around the corner from my flat.
There was a choice of around 10 mayonnaises, and you got a massive scowl from Mr Serving-Bloke if you said you didn't want any. Properly offended, he was.
Didn't you tell him, curry ketchup!
Mayonnaise on chips is a crime. Why on earth anyone would want to ruin the perfection of deep-fried potato with that devil's spunk is a mystery.
They've started putting it on BK beanburgers now too. I got quite a shock the other day. Just because there's no meat in it doesn't make it a farking vegetable.

Wrong. See below.

Erm, except that he's not, because it's actually true. Check your history before calling people idiots... 😉
A proper nice fish n chips is lovely. Pub near me does a fantastic FnC, with [i]divine[/i] mushy peas.
Nah mate, not from a pub. It needs to come in paper, innit
Ssh, leave him alone, he's southern.
No thanks. I want it served up propperly, piping hot on a plate with a knife and fork, not lukewarm in soggy paper. I want to be sat down nice and comfy to eat, not shivering huddled in some freezing damp bus shelter in Doncaster or wherever...
Eh? Soggy paper's the best bit!
They're posh down south aren't they?
They talk funny, an' all.
Some say, they don't have curry sauce. Or gravy.
****. That. You can keep your plates and knives and forks pal
One mans poisson is another mans national dish.
😆
Oh you poor, poor Northern folk with your quaint, antiquated ways and your outside toilets... 😥
When Mrs Grips' sister and niece came over, we had chips in Cardiff Bay, so not quite a proper sea front but similar. We sat on the quay and ate from paper whilst fighting off seagulls - the proper British experience.

... and enough water to flush 'em.
Pepper mayonnaise on your frites is pretty good, with garlic mayo a close second

No but it's true, SaxonRider. That's what Northerners do. 😐
It's not funny.

my heaven
Fish n chips! In a bus shelter!
You were lucky.
We had to share a tramps cardboard box and content ourselves with the burnt bits the chippy threw out at closing time.
Fish and chips must be cooked in beef dripping. Veg oil is just southern rubbish.
I also find that they are slightly more digestible when cooked in dead cow.
Rick Stein always uses beef dripping.
Magpie Cafe in Whitby. Best F&C I have had by a bewilderingly large margin. Accept no substitutes.
Having opened that can of worms I'm off to clean bike after last night's ride. Have fun...
magpie was OK when I went, but no better than the waterside in North shields. The best I've had is Colmans in South shields. Incredibly good!!!

As said above its a Jewish dish - but its Fish and Chip [b]Shops[/b] that are a british thing.
I've tasted hundreds of different offerings inc all the ones that warton mentions - all very nice indeed
There's dozens places all up the NE coast from the Humber to the Tyne that serve outstanding food
I reckon they're all trumped by the [url= http://www.theskyliner.co.uk/index.html ]Skyliner[/url] though.
Travelling North on the M1 on a cold, dark evening, it's hard to drive straight past Jcn 46 🙂
