I just assumed it was just something like haddock cut into small pieces You might have been right though, as monkfish used to be substituted for scampi as it was a cheaper alternative at the time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Aye I had no idea until right now that scampi was anything other than monkfish tails. For the rest of this I'd say it took me too long to get that PnBers are thick as two short planks . These three pages have been an enlightening read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venti Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 1 hour ago, RH33 said: Well scampi can be a prawn, I've no idea where the geographical area this is, in a similar chipper/chippy. Scampi as in the stuff you get battered should be made from monkfish tails. @Venti may be able to elaborate. It actually used to be made from monkfish when it was pretty much deemed by-catch & used for things like lobster bait. Now your scampi will be pretty much be an acutal scampi which is just a langousine/dublin bay prawn. I've had 'scampi' with cod cheek before which is pretty good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I enjoyed Kenny Everett's character Cupid Stunt as a lad but it wasn't until as an adult I read an interview with scriptwriter Barry Cryer who said the character name wasn't exactly subtle that I got it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I'd been a member of the forum for ages before I worked out that FTFY meant "fixed that for you". Parts of the forum were so confrontational that I thought it meant"f#ck that, f#ck you". Not my finest hour. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
