I find in every chippy below birmingham. They dont do meat and potato pies. No steak and kidney puddings. No chip muffins/ barms/ bread rolls. Water thin based gravy with no taste! And kebab houses sell shop bought pitta bread which they call naan bread, rather than the huge freshly baked naan breads done in a clay oven! What other food experiences do you miss out on!

Also no potato scallops/scratchings or crispy donner!

Thankfully there are still fish and chip shops up our way who only sell fish and chips ....

No nasty cross contamination of flavour from all that other rubbish you find being sold in many establishments that claim to be traditional fish and chip shops

If you want pies go to a bakery or butchers.

Fish and chips go to the chippy

Pizzas the pizza shop

But if you want a parmo....you have to come to Teesside

Never had naan bread freshly baked in an oven with a kebab and I've had them up north(always been a pitta envelope to hold everything in)

I'll try asking next time but surely a flat naan won't hold a doner kebab ?

We have a lovely fish and chip shop, a few yards from a pie and mash shop. Decisions, decisions.

Oh and a new Jamaican food takeaway has opened up near them too; the smell from the bbqs is amazing.

He took you to a rubnish one. Theres curry sauce in 90 % . Rissoles real recipe saute'ed cubed potatoes deep fried. Finished off with butter smothered then add marmite to to the butter. I cant stand marmite at all its vile, however when mixed with tonnes of butter and heated up and put on them rissoles. They are ess bats!

Kebabs in naan bread - bloody awesome took me 3 years at uni to get used to them to move back home and then nowhere sells them

One thing the north does which is odd is chow Mein noodles should be dry with some meat and beensprouts or veg if gone for vegetarian option - the amount of Chinese places up north that put gravy in the noodles - so wrong

I've seen some places claiming to be chip shops that have chips that were cooked some other time or place as well as any old tat they want to call food to sell - including various and unknown types of meats, spices and combinations thereof. Afghanistan southern fried chicken etc.

Wash, prepare and cook real food on the premises please. Potatoes grow well in the UK and prepare and cook with a little labour. Lazy owners will shift Shite, not caring that customers are inebriated etc. Go north.

"I have to agree. A decent Fish and Chip shop in London these days are few and far between,but they are there. If you know where to look.

I will say 3 words though

Pie and Mash

Gods own food

We have a lovely fish and chip shop, a few yards from a pie and mash shop. Decisions, decisions.

Oh and a new Jamaican food takeaway has opened up near them too; the smell from the bbqs is amazing. "

"The parmo is said to have been created by Nicos Harris, a chef with the American army in World War II. He was wounded in France, but was brought to the United Kingdom to be treated in a British hospital. Eventually, he moved to Middlesbrough and opened a restaurant on Linthorpe Road, where he created the parmo at The American Grill in 1958. His son-in-law, Caramello, still lived in Teesside as of 2014, continuing the family tradition"
