We were debating at the weekend about Scottish chippies
and why they don't give you the option of 'opened or wrapped'. With the opened version being a different type of wrap that enabled easier access whilst on the hoof. It was the only thing I liked about English chippies, that and they fact they sold 'saveloys', even though I hate them, I just like the word.

Oh, and why can't you get roast potatoes in chippies? It seems like a pretty natural thing for them to serve, but the don't.

Do you want to wait an hour for a fresh one?
No, chips are quick.

Yes, i know,
but you can 'roast' a potato in a deep fat fryer, lovely they are as well.

it's not really roasting it though is it
big chips they are called.

I’d prefer
deep-fried massive potato chunks the size of roasties (which is what you’re proposing, I assume) to normal chips.

Absolutely.
I will open my own chippy, offering these deep fried nuggets of goodness and also introduce the mould breaking, 'open or wrapped' technique to the Scottish chippy scene.

Yeah, I know, but dreams are worth having
Salt and vinegar?

Open or wrapped?
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Tue 20 Apr 2010, 14:00, Reply)

All of these things.
