little things that annoy the shit out of you

[Tony Moanero]

I would go to different takeaways depending on what I want. I don't eat meat anymore but when I did I would use say a different one for sausages, a different one for fish, a different one for a pastie, a different one for a cheesy chip, etc. Same with Chineses - prefer a chow mein from one, but a chicken dish from another, etc.

How on earth did you keep all of it hot? I can’t bear lukewarm food.

[cloggypop]

Can you get peas?

 

I’d just have a whole scoop of chips and a piece of fish to myself. I’d make my own gravy, too.

 

Chippies down south rarely do gravy, so when I lived there I’d take my own gravy in a little flask. I was once asked to leave a fish and chip restaurant for doing so.

I'm not fucking surprised. Gravy with fish. Kinell.

I’m not really a fan of Chinese chippies

I'm not sure if you're being serious here... But... I meant on different nights depending on what took my fancy, not that I would go to different places for one night's meal... As in, tonight I fancy a fish, so I go to A. Next week I fancy something else, which I get from B, etc

Ha ha. Nah, a good traditional British chippy is better than a good Chinese chippy.

I was messing, mate.

I’ve been known to have fish with gravy (introduce the fish to the gravy rather than pour ithe gravy over the fish) , but I mostly just have it on chips. Can’t have chips without gravy.

[The Golden Eel]

I was messing, mate.

I did think so but I couldn't really resist the urge to post about my takeaway habits again tbh.

 

On the temperature point, I actually prefer a cheesy chip slightly cooler. Not lukewarm but not straight out of the vat either. I don't really like the cheese melting into the one big hot cheesy meld.

 

I've got plenty more of this, so feel free to ask away, folks.

My first week in Newcastle I ordered a chicken fried rice in the chippy and they thought I was a madman. It's what I grew up with. Genuinely thought all chippies did it. Newcastle chippies are wank though.

We're getting into the murky world of what is a traditional chippy tea and a Chinese meal here.

 

Back in the day, a traditional chippy tea round these parts was chips and something with it. A fish or pie or fishcake, (or savory cake if your a wool) Chippy tea day was always on the day my dad got paid which was in cash in one of those semi transparent wage packets with a corner missing so the notes could be counted and the coins visible.

 

Anyway. A mountain of bread and butter would be made up while we waited for whoever's turn it was to return from the chippy. The wrapping paper would then be split and the portions be divided.

 

Chip butties on a cold winters night. Food of the gods.

The price of fish has made that a luxury and the chinese dishes,which often feed more than one,have now become commonplaice.(Sea what I did there?)

I've been to Newcastle numerous times, but can't recall ever having had anything from a chippy there. I once had cheesy chips in Sunderland, which I wasn't keen on. Strange, as I like chips and I like cheese.

'Cheesey Peas. They're peas with cheese.'

[cloggypop]

Stick to the stotties, Tony. They are fucking boss. Especially the cheese mix ones. Fuck I miss them.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Women commentators getting excited on MOTD plustheir presence on Football Focus.

Yeah. They should stick to women's things, like programmes about ironing and washing dishes.

 

If we let them on Football Focus, they'll be wanting the vote next.

Nobby Longs on Orwell Road used to do the best Chinese curry sauce ever.  Great on chips and fishcake.

Fuck I wouldn't go as far as that mate, are you Victorian ? Though irritating they are on Footy commentary etc.Women jockeys are pretty good though.

[Rico1304]

I can remember going to a chippy in seaforth that had as much security as Fort Knox.

[manwiththestick]

Should be an amnesty in here, just a couple of things I've seen that are wrong in every sense

 

Gravy with fish. Wtf is wrong with people?

 

Pasties. Pies, okay, just.

 

Cheese. Should never be available from any kind of chippy, ever. Just sign yourself on the register and be done with it.

[Tony Moanero]

Pies, okay, just.

 

Just? Pies and gravy are made for each other!

As long as you steer clear of talking about crisps I’m happy for you to carry on.

My comment on pasties/ pies was not in relation to gravy, it was their presence in chippy's. Like I said pasties no, pies just about but not for me.

Seaforth is grim.

[Harry Squatter]

Seaforth is grim.

Yep. Lived there for 5 years. Awful.

 

My mate moved from there recently. The day after they moved their alky neighbour who had tried raping a woman over the road was found dead on his step.
