Dont forget "Pea Wet"

Pea wet... Backward Wigan thing.

Bolton as well.

Mushy peas I remember were like thick pea soup around here, watered down in other places.

Met a girl in Huddersfield many years ago who worked at the local ICI plant, one of their products was green food dye for peas, which in its concentrated form had to be labelled as a poison! The things we used to eat lol.

Gravy on fish?

That’s just wrong........

Nah it’s great. And if not gravy, I have baked beans because I’m an absolute psychopath *puts tin hat on*

Think it's gonna bomb.. Way too expensive during current financial crisis.

Love to see the faces of the people who stumble in from Muldoons and the Junction when they see the prices. "I just wanted fish & chips cock, none of that 18 quid fancy muck"

@buckshawwhite my better half isn't from the North and doesn't believe me that 'scraps' and 'pea wet' was a thing!

Then again, she'd never met anyone asking for 'half rice half chips' in a takeaway either - what a sheltered life!

Have you tried explaining to her what "Babies Head" is? Next you will be telling me that she has never hears that a can of Dandelion & Burdock is the perfect accompaniment to a chippy tea

Funnily enough she'd never had Dandelion and Burdock either @buckshawwhite



Southerners !

Strange tastes them southerners.

Rock salmon ( dogfish)
Saveloys ( tinned sausage)

Used to visit relatives in the midlands when I was a kid, all chippys had a large jar of big pickled onions on the counter to have with your chips.

Chippy at Fulham away in late 80s didn't do gravy - totally blew my mind @europne

I've sold the house and car so I've almost got enough money for some fish and chips.. I might see if Elon musk is hungry and fancies buying us both fish and chips.

The pictures and reviews on Facebook are very complementary.

My daughters boyfriend is from down South and we might as well be talking a different language with regards to food. It starts with the tea and dinner arguement.
