We lived for 6 months between Pukka Pie and Jacob's Cream Crackers factories. It just depended which way the wind was blowing as to what fragrance there was waiting you outside the front door. Premier drums just down the road was less pungent.

Jumbo Soj (battered or not, don't care) and chips. Brown sauce from the fridge at home and NO FORK (forks are for wimps)

I don't go to the chippy often, but when I do it's medium fish, medium chips (large if no breakfast and lunch), mushy peas and a can of drink.

Occasionally, when I don't feel like eating fish, it'll be large chips + mushy peas + drink.

What's strange is that I've only started eating mushy peas in the last three years or so. Before that, I used to abhor them and always went for baked beans (either from chippy or more usually, at home). Used to love a slice of white bread to mop up the bean sauce left over.

Oh, and nearly always followed by a nap.

The slice of buttered bread is particularly nice with pretty much anything from the chip shop. I don't usually butter bread, but in this case the more the better and let it melt and trickle everywhere

Lady Feeona was responsible for introducing me to the concept of sweet and sour sauce with chips. I always have some in the cupboard these days, since last time it took them about an hour to make and they charged about £1000 for it.

When I lived in Oxford, my mate lived opposite a Chinese Chippy. I used to have chicken chop-suey and chips every time. That really works.

I really want chips now, you evil people

Ah yes, I forgot about the buttered bap.

I sometimes get one for a chip butty.

The wife likes her bread and butter with chips - chip butties and all that but just recently she's taken to making them with fish Still, it beats the sausage dinners from the Chinese chippies in Liverpool. One does a whole family...

Anyone else put chip shop curry sauce on their fish?

Yup. I have 'something from the chippy' and curry sos - always

That Gok person off of the television used to work in the chippy his family ran in Whetstone. The thing is though, the chips were always better from the chinese his family ran next door :s

The nearest chippy is a 20 minutes away, so I don't go very often. That said, it's a very good chippy, but their menu is very restricted:

• Fish: £2.00
• Small chips: £1.00
• Large chips: £1.50

They don't sell anything else, not even the gravy or sauces to accompany the food! It's not a huge issue because it means very fast service and the food is fresh due to high turnover.

scampi and chips, or just chips, depends on how im feeling 8)
