Confession - I’ve never had one of these. I think it must be a northern thing.

But I’m originally from Mansfield, which is just up the road from where you are now, and it’s something we’d always make with our fish n chips on a Friday evening! Assuming your from Eaton in Notts lol!

Close - Eaton in the Vale of Belvoir, so Lincolnshire / Nottinghamshire / Leicestershire border. Also, originally from Southampton so fish and chips were accompanied by curry sauce, not additional carbs!

Once I had a pulled pork sandwich with haggis in Edinburgh.
It was a cold day (for my South American standards, obviously), it was 9 am, it was 2 years ago, it was delicious, and I still remember it.

it’s Scotland, if you’ve come from South America it’s always a cold day haha!
that does sound really nice though. I do like haggis!

On that trip, I had black pudding for breakfast every morning and ordered haggis every chance I had.

Ever had chips and gravy from a chippy? I was devastated when I moved down south to find they didn't do it.

same when I moved over here. more obsessed with that manky cheap curry sauce instead. Heathens! I used to love Allen’s Fried Chicken on Oxford Road where you’d get a little pot of chicken gravy with your meal...

well in this down south, I haven't seen it. unfortunately, I think I'd skip out on the traditional gravy (not one for beef), but I'll make sure it's on my list if I come across it traveling. I have had some tasty poutine variations, which are in that neighborhood.

Down South over here means a whole nother thing and we don't call fries chips. Chips are made from potatoes though and occasionally those are found on sandwhiches but rarely ever fries.

Yay the food talk!
That sandwich reminds me of a french fry and gravy po boy in Nola. My fave of the po boys. @bfly - we'll get one when we escort @NathanRicaud to Nola.
And I threw up in my mouth a little bit, @gafacaode. Haggis. We need the vomit reaction.

That looks so good. Im going up north for christmas in a few weeks, certainly going to make the most of it on the food end!We have a pretty good chippy here that a guy from the UK started. More affordable than most places that do fish and chips and at least as good. He does mushy peas, gravy, and curry if you want em.

Jealous. The thing I miss most about Manchester is going for an Indian on the curry mile.

I miss the prices. Theres a bar in the town im from up north that has 20+ beers on tap. Its huge. A pint costs £2. In comparison im meeting friends tonight at a bar that only sells 2/3 of a pint (with 3 options) for......and im not joking here......£5. A bottle of beer or cider is £6.50. Make me want to cry.

Yeah Dublin is the same. Manchester City centre had started to get a bit expensive by the time I left but Dublin is a whole other world. €5 is the cheapest you’ll find a pint and that’s the mass crap stuff. It just goes up from there, painful stuff!
