Why do you think I left :)

Well, that and the fact that I wanted to find out about this weird Northern food :D

Re: Chips and Gravy
 

The best chippy I know is Greek!
Admittedly tho they do Doner Kebabs (as a sideline, the main shop is a chippy).

Get on the phone to "James's Kitchen" now - but remember to book a cab to the City for about 11:30.

Think I'll stick to Fuscos, or the local chinese.... well one of the 8 chinese we have locally... is there any need?

Re: Chips and Gravy
 

Ahhhh...the F word, Fuscos.

Re: Chips and Gravy
 

ok

fish & chips virtually as 'round here'

fish = haddock fillet

batter = usually a tempura style 'puffy' batter, but ideally no gungey layer, inside.

Chips - made from high starch straight cut 'old' potatoes like Maris Piper, crispy on the outside, soft in the middle.

Fat - yes, beef dripping is still used for frying in a lot in chippies round here

What more do you need, other than salt & maybe vinegar ?

Re: Chips and Gravy
 

Preferably from Leons, Marklews or whatever that one by the Dolphin is called :)

Re: Chips and Gravy
 

mmmmm chips and gravey from the chinese = much goodness (they do a luverly chinese gravy at the chinese opposite arriva garage in Redcar)

Chips and gravy from a chippy is also very good.
Must have vinegar on..

Re: Chips and Gravy
 

Where have all the english chipy's gone? our local "jacks chippy" was famous all over salford! the kabab shop chips are crap, chinese are ok'ish but IMO you cant beat chips & gravy from a traditional english fish & chip shop.

Re: Chips and Gravy
 

See, that's half my problem with chips and gravy - it's just wrong to mix gravy with vinegar :sick:

Re: Chips and Gravy
 

Well considering chips are now deemed to be bad for you and they are now only cooked in sodding unsaturated oil I reckon anything that drowns them and improves the flavour can be considered.:mad:

The best chips I ate this year were in a pub in Blackwood in Wales..they were cooked in lard.Yum..:)
