In the South only children request 'scraps'?Almost as sinister as requesting cod, which I don't do any longer for fear of my life.
At most fish and chip shops here cod is the usual offering, although haddock is also available and, in some places, other options.
I remember when I was young we always asked for scraps, although that was because they were free!

Re: Take Away
I keep dreaming of the local chippy where I used to live. I'm drooling for their chips. They are actually a Chinese chippy, but I can't stomach Chinese food.Best chips I've ever tasted.
I could murder fish and chips or pudding and chips right now.
But I refuse to go there with this virus knocking about. I'm suffering now with drool just talking about

Some of my friends and families only eat so called Junk Food.
They only use the Microwave and never cook.
However all their childen look healthy and are taller than their parents, so does that means that there is some nutriton and vitamins in Junk food?
Can the body actually tell the difference?
My freind who is only allowed to eat only fresh food and muesli for breakfast, goes for a bike ride early each morning, and he really looks forward to occasionally going McDonalds for a big Fry Up.
SH..Don't tell his wife!

Re: Take Away
I recall having to go to the hospital for tests following a heart attack. One of those was something to do with the fat in the blood. Mine was tested and there was not enough fat in the sample so I was advised to come back in an hour after going to the hospital café and ordering either a couple of large pork pies or a Full English, I opted for the Full English. That shows how quickly the effects of what we eat are absorbed into the blood stream.

being an ex chef and a current chef both have heard about what goes on in the food trade and they both said if you do searches online, you will find numerous press articles from all over the country where trading standards have caught out chippies and restaurants for selling cod when in fact it is something else.

On the other hand, I usually go for haddock if it's available as I like the taste.
