Can't get a decent fish supper in the soft south. The seem to think a thick lump of cod in soggy batter qualifies.Quote:

I miss the other stuff you get north of the Border in a chippie as well ... haggis, black pudding, pakora ...
Yeah, tell me about it, Tom! :doh:
However, I've found one locally, run by a guy from Coatbridge, and he only uses fresh fish, not frozen muck, like most of the bollocks places here do, and the batter is so thin and crispy. He even sells haggis and black pudding!:)

A good idea in the chippy is to ask for a fish they have to cook fresh for you, usually haddock or plaice, always much nicer than some baggy old lump of soggy batter that's been sitting in the warmer.
Good tip that, Ian:)
Unfortunately however, down here, it's pretty much wall-to-wall cod, regardless.

Fancy.
Cannoli look very good, Roy! One of my favourite things to eat, when done well:)

Eggs with spinach, mixed rice and plenty of parsley sauce.

Had to use up some stuff so made an Italian-type bread thingie with Olives, sun-dried tomato and Figs.
Tastes pretty good (to me anyway) [emoji13]
