Re: Pie & mash, Sunday Roast, Fish & Chips and Yorkshire pudding
My other half & myself went to a local chippy very recently after he'd finished work.. it was a Tuesday & we play darts at 7.30 so dinner can be a rush if ive been out n about all day... anyway I waffled there!! We go to a chippy right on the coast where we live overlooking the sea . We ordered 2 pieces of cod & 1 portion of chips as they're huge & I can only eat a few. I had a coffee & himself had a can of coke. The chips were ok and the fish was ot the best & I picked all the batter off mine as it was raw & gooey underneath.... £15 later we left promising ourselves we'd not use that chippy again. Himself has seen the owner since & told him about it & he offered us a freebie for 2 whenever we fancy it. Trouble is we dont lol Even the coffee was yuk but I am a coffee snob and most places do horrible coffee for my liking. Fish & chips used to be a 'poor mans' meal.. well it's certainly not that anymore

Re: Pie & mash, Sunday Roast, Fish & Chips and Yorkshire pudding
In answer Linda to your question do others eat Haggis. I don't andnever have I just don't fancy it and its contents. My Sister however
does eat it and thinks it is great. So just depends. I don't know
anyone else who eats it and I do know lots of people.
Those fish and chips Cassie sound horrendous. I go to the bingo
and when I meet my friend we get fish, chips and mushy peas for 2.
It only costs £7.99 and that's for 2 meals the drinks are extra.
If the batter was mushy that means the heat was not hot enough
to cook it properly.

You get a small fish supper at my favourite chippie for £4.50 and its plenty. I'd hate to be feeding a treat to a family in a chippie. The prices are ridiculous.I only have haggis, neeps and fatties on Robert Burns Day

I find our chippy quite reasonable, they do a large cod and chips for £7 which is enough fish for my husband and Grace and we have enough chips in the pack for all 3 of us. They do a nice vegetarian burger too for £2.

Re: Pie & mash, Sunday Roast, Fish & Chips and Yorkshire pudding
It looks like Cod is the favouite fish back in England, while Haddock is preferred up here. They cost the same locally, so I buy haddie. I've tried several recipes for batter, and settled on BeRo SR flour, salt, pepper and 'Hobgoblin' dark ale. It makes a beautifully thin crispy batter. I'm sure that other flours (eg. Alinsons) and ales would work fine as long as they're good quality.

in the south maybe but from Worcestershire upwards in my experience there has always Haddock served in fish and chip shops . I don't think there is any comparison between the two, Haddock is far superior to my taste .

Now you all have me hungry for fish & chips, haha. Love that meal. Fish & chips here is typically made with any type of whitefish, usually cod or haddock.
