Fish Supper
Re: Fish Supper
Can't believe you spent time in Thurso and never had chips, cheese and mayo.
I mean, I'm not a huge fan of it, but after kicking out time in Skinandis it was nice.

If I must, I'll have a battered sausage, chips and curry sauce. I must have a fork of some description to eat this on the move but at home, it's transferred to a plate and eaten with cutlery. The plate is then washed.
Re: Fish Supper
I think i lead a much more sheltered life than you when in Thurso
I didn’t even know mayo existed, let alone that some people put it on chips until about the year 2000.
Chips and curry sauce, yes, but never cheese or mayo. Chips n cheese seemed popular down Edinburgh way though.

Have you never been to Belgium?! It’s the only bloody thing you can find there
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Fish Supper
Mayo is a good name for a horse.
Re: Fish Supper
Oh I’m a big convert to it now, but was utterly unaware of anybody doing it for a very long time. Actually, maybe it was Pulp Fiction that first mentioned it...
Cheers,

Re: Fish Supper
I went to Belgium on a school trip in the early 90s and have been a big fan of mayo on chips since.
Not chippy chips though, they’re different for some reason. Only vinegar or chippy sauce.

Re: Fish Supper
Mayo can get in the bin. It's minging stuff unless homemade.
Chips and salad cream though, now that works peachy.

Re: Fish Supper
I was first introduced to mayo on chips in Holland, I love it

Re: Fish Supper
Having never had it, nor been to Edinburgh ( ) I just looked this up.
Might give it a go tonight as we've got burger and chips on the menu (not from a chippy though)
Left over crest; tightens.
Re: Fish Supper
Must admit, not had cheese and mayo on chips since moving to Leeds (I mean, cheese, yes) but I can see it working better on 'dirty takeaway' fries, rather than proper chippy chips, now that I'm a touch older and (allegedly) wiser.

This.

Re: Fish Supper
Anyway I see there’s still no correct option on the poll. Down in the sophisticated South East takeaway fish and chips is served in a rectangular cardboard box, with tartar sauce and ketchup. Mayonnaise is optional and a pickled onion is essential.

Re: Fish Supper
Yeah and you'll pay about £6-7 just for the fish down there. In fact, for the cost the correct option in the SE should be that they cut it up and feed it to you.
Re: Fish Supper
I hate the cardboard boxes you get now. Loved the old expanded polystyrene which retained the vinegar well.
Re: Fish Supper
My preferred place in London costs £14 for a large cod and chips. Add condiments, a drink and just round it up to £20 with a tip.
South coast is more like £10 for the same.

Re: Fish Supper
£12 gets double that here
I'm aware of the painful cost down there after staying on the southcoast a few times for GFOS or the Revival.
