What's that all about anyway? Just attention seeking? If it was 40 years ago the answer would be British Leyland's quality standards and my dad being too cheap to buy 4 Star Now it's attention seeking. I always hope one of these eejits will have their engine blow up or the car fall apart Blues Brothers style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best obtainable takeaway from a chippie is a jumbo haggis supper with salt and vinegar accompanied by a small tin of baked beans.

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...

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...
