So I went to the chippy on the way home from work..

Kotek Besar

..to get a bag of chips (they didn't do cones) and a scallop.

The girl was just opening as it had just turned 5 o'clock. She opened the padlocked shutters (dirty, rusty and, I don't doubt, full of cobwebs), then proceeded to serve my delicious and nutritious potato delight without washing her hands!

Now my grandma always said a bit of muck doesn't hurt, but in this day and age isn't that just minging?

old gregg

did you accept and pay for them?

MitchKoobski

You still ate it?

MidlandsM

Just eat yer feckin chips.

Kotek Besar

Yes, it was delicious. To be honest, I think the dirt, rust, cobwebs and sweat added to the overall flavour. Still minging though.

Not much use telling us is it!

It meets all your nutritional requirements:

rust - includes iron
cobwebs - deters flies
sweat - contains salt
dirt - nutritious enzymes

yum yum yum

In fairness though, if she opened the place how did she cook them so quickly?



EDIT: Its called a chipper, not a chippy. None of the englishy talk now

Professey Chin

Cause chipper food is the picture of health.That probably made it better for you

Something similar happened us on the way back from Dublin about 20 years ago in a Chipper in Carlow before all this health and safety really kicked in- they were cleaning the floors with no gloves on and served us straight after without washing their hands. One of the lads challenged them over it - We got barred:mad:

You get salt and vinegar on them? Takes away the minging!

MitchKoobski

I can't remember the last time ANYTHING I got from a chipper was delicious AND nutritious...

AdMMM

Where the hell can you get a cone of chips? I don't think I could even bring myself to ask for such a thing lest I be laughed and jeered out of the chipper!

Pretty sure they have them in Brennans in Lisduggan. I remember the last time I was there they were advertised and had big stacks of cones.

Brennans do indeed have chip cones. I don't see the point honestly unless they put a load of lovely mayonaisse on top like they do in Belgium.

When I was a young lad growing up our local chipper was the stuff of legends, I mean this was the early 90's so there was no HACCP or health and safety.

Things like:

she NEVER changed the oil and rarely cleaned.

Used to precook the burgers and just microwave them.

In the end Rats chewed all the eletrical wires and it never reopened.

Needless to say I don't remember her washing her hands .

Damn this thread! I'm off to the chipper now. Had a craving since seeing the picture of lovely chips in that cone.

MitchKoobski

So that's why Burger King tasted a bit off this morning....

Deisekickboxing

why do chipper staff wear them vinyl gloves??

they seem to use them for handling money,using cleaning stuff, making the burgers ,handling the extra cheese and whatever else comes with it.............:pac:

Johnny Walkers don't do it anymore, they have a grill now and you can see them cooking it in front of you.

Do they cook the onions? That's the secret behind a nice Dooley's burger.

Unfortunately no
I hate biting into an uncooked onion.

I don't usually get burgers from Walkers either. I'm more of a sausage man.

ziedth

At the risk of dragging this off topic but I think there is a special extra hot circle of hell for people who have cooked onions on their burgers

kryogen

i shall be in that layer of hell when i go so

Remember the good old days of the specials. Chips burger and bottle of cadet orange for a pound, them were the days.

Hell yeah! A nice lunch time sausage special did the job! I wish I was a child again :P

Do they even do cadet anymore? Never see it in chippers. To be fair, I don't look for it.

Indeed. But enough about Gary Glitter.

In my day, we'd get our £5 pocket money from our parents on a Friday, then at 7pm we'd all meet outside the Spar. Big John (every circle of friends has a Big John - the one who's always taller, larger and always gets served boose) would go in, bundle of £5 notes in hand.

We'd each get a bottle of Special Red (like White Lightening, but cheaper) for £1.50 and 10 Lambert and Buttler for £1.47. This is assuming the miserable cow isn't serving - she knew Big John wasn't really 18. The other staff didn't seem to know / care.

Then, off we went up the field to get twatted and take turns to feel big fat Ruth's boobs.

Best thing about it was, if we could get another quid from the olds in the morning, we could do it all again on Saturday night.

when i was young a can of smak and a packet of captain crisps and you were elected
or if you were brought to the pub ye got a 1.5 liter of big brother orange and that had to last till ye were brought home.

i remember in greasy neds and the person was smoking as they were cooking, not the only place i seen it happen from chipper to greasy spoon cafe. or the sweat dripping down the forhead of the guy in the chippir pools to run down the nose and into your chips.

as regards microwave burgers burger king is supposed to be the home of the flame grilled wopper, the amount a time you hear that distinkd bing sound and your burger is ready. loada b"£$%ks i tell them i want freshly cooked or im not taking it.
if i want a micre burger ill get them in my shopping
