Chips, potato scallop, scratchings and curry (the thick, neon-coloured stuff, not the thin stuff with bits in).

Fritters, chips and curry sauce is my go to hangover cure.

Yup, deep fried slice of battered potato, the addition of curry sauce sounds like excellentness to me.

I love mussels but love oysters more. Best I ever had we’re in Seattle, although curiously Whitby was also excellent.
