Well, I'll allow that. I suppose it's at least partly due to where folk were born bread and buttered. I'm from the west, so my default position is salt and vinegar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Is a half pizza ever truly half a pizza? Doesn’t the act of cutting the original pizza create two fully-formed semi-circle-shaped pizzas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed, as the two half’s now exist with an “unfinished” edge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Chicken breast full batter. Half portion of chips. Salt and brown sauce. 1 pickled onion 1 pickled egg. 2 slice of white bread or soft roll. Ate that every Friday for about 4 years. Sweating here just thinking about that, fucking eating Thai again today.... Edited July 20, 2023 by SlipperyP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 The vast majority of chip shop chips are rank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I was on holiday last week and we visited an old fashioned seaside resort in the North of England. I got fish and chips because that's what these places are famous for and it while it was nicely cooked and there was nothing 'wrong' with it, it made me feel ill for the next day. Just that volume of fried food isn't something I can really cope with anymore. Honestly have no idea how people eat like that all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a student in the mid-90s there was a chip shop on Sciennes in Edinburgh and another just up from there on Causewayside, both of which did very cheap half-pizza suppers. I lived just up from there and would frequent regularly. Not only is the half pizza more affordable on a student budget, but I always felt that it was better because it got put face down on the chips and they got embedded into the molten surface. A whole pizza would be folded in half therefore losing this element of the fun. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's been the case for me since I was about 30. Once a year or so I'll have a hankering and get one and regret it for hours afterwards. Avoiding chip shops is a lot easier since I moved to Bishopbriggs anyway, as they are uniformly appalling here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was back in Scotland in April, I got a chippy last evening across from Haymarket. Dont get that sort of takeaway over here, was decent. Fish tae, loved it. Hate it when you get a rotten chippy, there was one in Peterhead I classed as my worst ever, must have been the throw away fish that were caught. Rank AF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking that you live in Germany? I once got fish and chips from one of those Nord See restaurants they have there. It was fucking rank. Possibly the worst meal that I have ever paid for. Marini's in Dundee do a "crunchy box", where you get a pizza crunch, a battered burger, a jumbo sausage, chips and curry sauce for about a tenner. It is good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go to one of those Darn Sarf in the late Eighties until it closed after a couple of years. I'd no idea it was (or has maybe since become) a big chain, nor that it was a foreign brand (I was young). They did a nice calamari; certainly didn't do fish 'n' chips back in those days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
