As we all know, near enough a religious visit pre match, no idea why they are closed on Saturdays though....

It's cricket season.

The chippy near me closes on Mondays.

So people perhaps just prefer chips Tuesday to Friday,

An era is drawing to a close...and the decent chippy is becoming a rarity...so sad..and the hordes of gormless slobs in grey jogging bottoms and the fat tattooed single mums in unwashed leggings traipse endlessley into mcdonalds to guzzle something thats as near to salted human turd as you can get...memories of my matchday fish and chips with a chicken and mushroom pie chaser are fading fast ...

Sad, sad days .

Salted human turd

I get the sentiment behind this but some Fish and Chips aren’t cooked in the most healthy oil ( Norman’s Chippy ?) A McDonalds once in a while won’t kill you it’s when you are eating there a few times a week there could be a problem. I really wish people wouldn’t put down single Mums though as they have it hard.

Isn't that the point 'Single mums have had it hard' isn't that how they became a mum

Deep fried black pudding BC ...gorgeous;)

At least they open until 8.30.

Most English chippys shut the door at 6.30. Far too early.

Hey Steve m8 am not knocking it yrs ago our local chippy started deep frying 6" McCain pizzas and they were delicious...

Not down here they don't, if anyones down for a holiday then give Krispies a go you won't regret it I promise.

This years awards:

"The south London restaurant missed out on the top spot to Krispies Fish and Chips in Devon. Captain’s Fish and Chips in Hertfordshire and Low’s Traditional Fish & Chips in Aberdeenshire took second and third prize respectively."

The mind just boggles doesn't it

Chippy food is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe people eat that grease soaked stodge and consider it a treat

claret2018 wrote:Chippy food is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe people eat that grease soaked stodge and consider it a treat

It's only "grease soaked stodge" when they don't use fresh oil and when the fish is off, most of us have had that in a strange town before I would wager but certainly not true in a well run joint.

Im sorry but Parkview chippy prematch is a must for us. My son is autistic and we are either chippy. or horse buger (as he calls it), and from my personal taste thw chippy wins hands down.

That's fine then.

I’ve got nothing against people having a match-day chippy, but surely the only other day where it is acceptable to partake is a Friday? Who has fish and chips on a Monday? I’ll answer that - people with questionable morals.

Birds chippy on Rosegrove Lane do.

Every scottish chippy will do a white pudding, black pudding or haggis pudding deep fried with batter. I've had a deep fried Pizza once in Ullapool and seen many a deep fried Scotch Pie. The famous Deep Fried Mars Bar started in a chippy just outside Hampden; it also did deep fried pizza but I'd learned by then and stuck to the Haggis Supper.

My one and only visit to Hampden was just after Revie left, Joe Mercer was caretaker manager and England lost 2-1. I watched from within a group of Hibs fans.

The Haggis Supper dulled the disaapointment somewhat afterwards.

Talking of chippies, seeing the work going on at Norman’s, it’s going to be a few months before that shop reopens. It’s just a shell of a building, the whole of the insides been ripped out, including walls and floors, with the rear shop wall having to be pulled down.

I was told the reason chippys are usually closed on Mondays is because the fishermen didn’t usually go out for their catch over the weekend so any fish used would be at least 2 days old

Krispies on Exeter Road in Exmouth. A short walk from my in laws, though whenever we have fish and chips when I am down there, Capels on the Strand is the purveyor of choice.

My memories of the Park View chippy as a kid was it being called Wildmans and the chips always being overdone.

It was also outside there that we had to collect our water from the standpipe during the drought in 1959.

They probably freeze it anyway.

They probably would now but I was told this in the 80s

There are some right miserable 'morons' on here. Nowt wrong with a chippy tea, nowt wrong with a McDonald's either. As said, it's moderation and personally I make sure I get a good breakfast in the morning and much prefer to have a few decent pre match pints. If the Mrs gets hungry she gets chips.

The good old curry takeaway never gets the same 'condemnation' on here as fish & chips and McDonald's. I love a good curry. I also love decent fish & chips - McDonald's is usually a needs-must meal for me.

BTW: What's the best place for fish and chips in the Burnley area? We used to nip down the road to Tod. Unfortunately, Grandma Pollards at Walsden is no more.

Fish chips and mushy peas will be far healthier than the processed food most working class families have these days.

Whether or not that is true, I’m sure we can all agree that unless there are extenuating circumstances, eating fish and chips on a day other than Friday is truly abhorrent.

I had it for lunch on Monday after a lovely walk around Hollingworth lake.

Don’t care how abhorrent it is it was bloody tasty
