[Closed] Should the UK public have the right to chip barms?

Butter spreads just fine if you don't keep it in the fridge, should be in a nice butter dish in a cold area.

Although slices of cold butter ARE awesome!

Margarine!? Just, no! It's made of plastic!

Apparently thEeeyeu wants fer tban the chippy butty due to carb overloading .......fact !

what a load of bollocks. who told you that?

Might be the WHO's advice on trans-fats and then Denmark, Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland's response to limit them. Unaware that this was to extend further.

Anyway, lard, dripping, butter etc is ok. It's the veg oils that are no good I think.

This might all be bollocks anyway, so I reckon chip butties/barms/baps/muffins are safe.

You'll be saying that a stew in one of those earthenware dishes with a pastry lid is a pie next.

I specifically commented on that bit of misselling

After all, the pastry is *just* a delivery mechanism.

Woah woah, did you see a [i]just[/i] in my post, no you didn't. My point was that pastry is a delivery mechanism so it doesn't need another one (bread - if you spin it around I'm very doubtful you would find anyone suggesting a sandwich pie even amongst some of the reprobates on this thread) Good pastry is also damn tasty but is still an [i]accompaniment[/i] to the filling and the filling:pastry ratio should always be generous.

1) butter doesn't tear the bread apart, just slice it and put it on, if it couldn't be mistaken for a hunk of cheese from a few paces you're doing it wrong.

my dad used that method to assemble his post nightshift cheese crackers, cheese sliced only slightly thicker than the butter. Unsurprisingly he isn't allowed these anymore.

But without the soft medium of butter to squash them into, surely either the crackers break or the pickled onions just roll off?

Well, whatever.

In about ten minutes I'm off for the only thing I look forward to during the working week (other than going home in the evening and the Wednesday night ride) - that's right - Steak and Kidney Pie & Chips for lunch on a Friday.

No cobs, but the chippy we frequent is particularly good in my opinion.

I'll spend the afternoon semi-conscious as a result - just how I like it.

You can not seriously buy a pie from a chip shop?!?

Battered haddock or cod (depending on how keen you are on bottom feeders - cod seems popular in that there "the south", coincidence?). Fish cake maybe so long as it's the proper fish fillet sandwiched betwixt two thick slices of potato, battered and deep fried (rather good in a bun). A battered sausage at a push. But not a pie, I bet it's not even pan fried let alone deep fried in dripping.

Heretic.

Should Scotland have the right to chip bams?

Woah woah, did you see a just in my post, no you didn't. My point was that pastry is a delivery mechanism

No, you're right on that point, and I'm duly chastised for adding my own just for effect.

However, while you may have not specifically dissed the pastry, you haven't shown the pastry the reverence it deserves in describing it as merely a delivery mechanism. Especially when it's got beef and kidney juice soaked into it.

Those chips in the original photo need at least another minute. Golden Brown not flaccid pale.

S&V (or sawss) - ffs do it yourself, chippy servers never put enough on no matter how much you emphasise 'LOTS'.

According to Wiki, the bread has to be 'White and butterd'!

Just goes to show, that you can't trust the internet 🙄
