Subject: RE: BS: Fish & Chips - 150 years old today
So, just what is 150 years old today?

Fishcakes at our local chippies were always just fishcakes - the same sort you get in supermarkets. Must say the bit of fish between sliced potatos sound a much better option! We used to have sliced battered potatos called 'specials' - known to some as scallops.

In the North West we seem to have cornered the market in pies. When travelling elsewhere I am always amazed that I cannot get a meat pie - Do you mean minced meat or steak and kidney? They usualy ask. Neither - You have to have a Hollands meat pie to understand! And how anyone can not enjoy a babbies yed wi' gravy is beyond me...
