So, tonight, I went and wished my chirpy chippy a Happy 150th Birthday and my young lad and I had fish and chips. As he was cooking them he was telling me that oop north he'd heard there used to be a coal fired fish and chip range, dating back to the 1920's...and that it was still in use today...

Apparently, the ol' fella who originally owned it used to stoke up the fire then put the fish in to cook, black coal on his hands and all... :0)

And sure enough...here's some info about it:

Coal Fired Fryer Range...

And here's the very shop, still going, in Lincolnshire....

Suttons....Fish'n'Chips'n'Coal

Oh...and today is National Fish'n'Chip Day....and he was wondering why that was..Now, he knows. :0)
