How to order from the chippy

[pippy]

I was always told that in certain parts of Yorkshire if you wanted a "soft roll" with your chips you had to ask for a "teacake bar currants" ! ;D

Fish or scone in a current tea-cake was quite normal. Even now I like fish in one. And don't forget bacon in a current tea-cake....Cor, 'eck!

[manicscousers]

My step-daughter works in North Wales and over there if you want a Cornish Pastie you have to ask for an Oggy  :)

The OH is from the North East and she's never heard of a fishy type thingy called a scone, she calls them fish patties, and the rolls are called balm cakes.  ???  :-\ :P      ;D ;D ;D

Being a veggie, my favourite is a pea fritter.  I think they are southern as I first had them when I lived in Bath and the only place I can get them from round here is the Mermaid in Horncastle.

sounds interesting....how do you make them?

[Paulines7]

If you ordered a scone where I lived you would be offered butter, strawberry jam and cream to go with it.   ;D

Up here we called the bits of fried batter crumblies and the scone without the fish were fritters.

[Good Gourd 2]

Where I come from scraps are batter bits and when we were kids they sometimes had bits of fish in. ;D

[jesssands]

where I come from in Devon

scone is what you have jam and cream on
scraps, fried bits of batter we call squiggles
Battered slice of potato is a scollup

Had to laugh soft bread roll, my mate from Leeds used to call it a bread cake!

Funny thread this one.....   ;D

If you want a hot pork pie in a chippy around the Berwick area, they put it in a wire basket and dunk it in the hot fat!

[jesssands]

hot pork pie! OMG this is so wrong!
Should never re-heat pork, to re-cook is ok but not warm up.
Give yas a bad belly!

[kenkew]

Twas a long time ago....might have been beef. Mind you, in that part of the world it might have been the leg off a haggis.

[Carol]

Yes your wrong Ken.  It was a Scotch pie   made with mutton and cold crust pastry.  Mutton not used now but minced lamb/beef.

Rolls up here are Rolls.  ::)  Scones are what I have most days with butter and jam. 

Not had a fish supper in 40 yrs.  ::)

Well pity me I arrived in Scotland 20 something years ago from NZ where you ask for a particular type of fish e.g snapper and so many scoops of chips....then they get a fillet and batter it for you and it's all cooked fresh while you wait. If you don't chose the fish and say fish and a scoop you get shark and chips.
Scotland you have to ask for a fish supper (you usually get haddock) you have other exciting choices e.g. deep fried haggis; deep fried pie even deep fried mars bars!

I get down to Cambridgeshire and had to learn a new system yet again, first time getting home with a lot more chips than I needed! Now I hardly ever buy them because i oven cook them at home.

So we all speak English as a common language!!!

They are just mushy peas deep fried in batter - don't know how they make them but I think maybe they freeze patties of peas, dip them in batter and then fry them.

Scone no no no its a Pattie round here, and no never ever pay for scraps.
