Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

The North/South chippy divide thread got me hankering after fish and chips so we went at lunchtime (shhh, don't tell the kids).

I had whitebait and tempura prawns followed by a lobster salad. I stole chips from the haddock and chips plate and from the scampi and chips plate but I didn't have any of the pickled egg.

I didn't realise that there is a posh thread. However, as the chippy isn't posh just good quality it's irrelevant.

It's half a pizza dipped in batter then fried, hence the crunch name. A supper means it comes with chips. Very tasty.

I haven't really had a deep fried mars bar but I did try one when I was young. It was amazing

Try deep friend Toblerone. We did it once and decided that it is just too good so we must NEVER EVER do it again.

It was a giant Toblerone, individual huge triangles in tempura batter. I love tempura veggies (especially courgettes. This was ridiculously, dangerously delicious and so can never be repeated.

I was seeing a Glasgow girl for two years.....she seemed to think it was pretty normal for one.....and she liked them.....she had a few while I was seeing her....

You put pizza in batter and throw it in oil, it's greasy.

Batter soaks up oil as does dough....
