hi

What a good thread !!

I can smell the fish and chips .......

Around here we have steak & kindney puddings in all of our chippies.
We don't call em babbies yeds....but I live in Cheshire and it's a bit posh here....lol

Years ago I used to play rugby and when we played " oooooop north" we got babbies yeds....I was very disappointed when I found that they were the same as our steak and kidney puddings.

At my folk club we used to have Lancashire Evenings and we used to put on steak & kidney puddings and pies.......and bucketfuls of mushy peas. Me and my missus used to make the peas....yum yum...blow ye winds southerly....lol

Lizzie I remember those tomato squirty things....now what you are forced to use those tiny plastic packets thingies....hate the buggers.

When I was very small we had two chippies fairly close to us and at that time I used to run errands for my grandma who lived around the corner.
She used to make me get the chips from one shop and the fish from the other.....my gran was very fussy....lol

We used to have fish and chips every Friday as kids.

We are having fish tonight but it is smoked cod with poached eggs as we are starting our annual cut down on fatty grub after the festivities which at our house go on until the 14th January as that is my good lady's birthday.
