The chip shop near me sells Pukka pies, my favourite pie is steak and kidney. Nothing better than to have pie, medium chips and a side portion of chip shop curry sauce poured over the pie.

Pukka Pies are a new kid on the block when it comes to chip shops, they have only been around for 30 years.
Fish and chips were a cheap meal when I was a lad , 1s/6d for Haddock and chips, wrapped in newspaper and soused in salt and vinegar . The fish was caught in the North Sea and the potatoes grown in the rich fertile silt land of southern Lincolnshire and The Wash.
The Ei wiped out out fishign fleet, took all the fish, sold it back to us, and fish became a luxury. Now we have reclaimed control of the fish, we can rebuild the fishing fleet and the processing infrastructure - markets, storage, transport, freezer tech. Boris is going to throw £125M at doing this, By the time it comes to the renegotiation with the EU in 5 years time we'll be in a position to fish it all, and we can chuck the French and Germans and Dutch out our waters for good.
Assuming the EU still exists in 5 years time......

These are chick cut English chips, cooked perfectly, what can be better than that?
These are deformed, thinly cut abominations, mutilated beyond any familiarity of being a chip.
Its a sad shame that America cannot grasp the greatness of the British chip!

My mother having 2 sons to feed gave us chips in the week for dinner. My mother would peel the potatoes, cut them into thick manly sized pieces then pop them into boil in a saucepan for 5 mins.
she’d drain them properly and carefully put them into a boiling pan of oil. With a lid put on she’d boil them in oil until they were crispy and a glorious golden colour.
Mother was an expert chip cook, we’d have sausages, fried egg with Heinz baked beans, it had to be Heinz baked beans or we’d riot and we’d get slapped for it.

That because the southerners have no idea about it. For great fish and chips you have to travel north, to Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, or up to Liverpool or Newcastle.
It worse here in Spain, mate, the Spanish have no grasp of the difference between crisps and chips. They call it all 'patata fritas' (Fried potato).
