And potato cakes, why aren't there potato cakes!?
Called potato scallops or fritters in the UK but more likely to find them in the Midlands and up North.

Chips, potato scallop, scratchings and curry (the thick, neon-coloured stuff, not the thin stuff with bits in). The meal of champions. 136% carbohydrates.

We have fritters up here, slices of battered potato. Don’t if it’s the same thing.

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.

That said, you can’t beat a mushy pea fritter.
