    I'd say getting actual cod when you ask for it would be pretty weird too.

    Why would anyone want cod, it's tasteless.

    Because I asked for it? I agree with you that it isn't the most interesting but still..

    A battered nappy! Went for a nice cycle down on dollymount beach and decided to get a fresh cod from a van which turned out to be a deep fried nappy. When I challenged the owners they drove off. i gave chase on my push bike but they proceeded to throw objects from the van knocking me off my bike. True story

    An aul fella beside me at a chipper van at Old Trafford asked for a tray of chips, mushy peas, a steak and kidney pie and curry sauce but specifically asked the guy serving him to "mix it".
    I watched the guy and he took the top off the pie then mashed the other items into the main part of it, placed the top back on the overflowing mess and handed it to him.
    The aul fella then started applying salt, vinegar and ketchup.

    Weirdest thing I've ever gotten in a chipper was a threat of rape had I been a homeless guys child, sounds weird but it's true.

    Homeless guy came in to the local chipper one night while I was waiting for me grub with a friend, and proceeded to tell us that we could be his daughters but then said no, we couldn't 'cause he'd only rape us :eek:

    Pepper. Chippers always have salt, vinegar, sauces etc. They never have pepper. The bastards.

    Ice cream sandwich.
    A friend was serving and I just asked her to suprise me. Went to the jacks and when I returned to the counter she had it wrapped up and ready to go. Whipped ice cream, strawberry syrup and chips on sliced bread.

    Other customers asking for a "chip" or a "curried chip" WTF?!

    Its chips and curry sauce, or a bag/poke/portion of chips. Ive always wished they just gave them a single chip when they ask for it.

    How do you complain about "curried chip" and then go on about getting a "poke" of something? Wtf is that.

    What I miss most from chippies in Scotland are deep fried black pudding coated in batter with proper chip shop chips, which are really soft, not the utter ****e Ive had in Ireland. Ive probably been in about 40 takeways since I moved here and not had soft chips yet.

    What are soft chips? Do you mean soggy, undercooked chips, as opposed to properly cooked ones? If so, why would anyone want that? :confused:

    I'd personally just ask for a bag of chips, but some people say a "poke" of chips.

    It's also "Why do you complain" not "How". Dear dear me, what's happening to the education standards.... ;)

    Undercooked! EEEUGH no chance. No, I just mean chips that are really soft, they dont have a crispy outer shell. Im not 100% sure how they do it because I cant replicate it at home myself, but its fairly common in most Scottish chip shops.

    A Glasgow roll (the best rolls in the world by the way) with loads of butter stuffed with a mountain of soft chips is delicious, especially on a cold winters evening as you walk along.

    If they're really soft they wouldn't be undercooked. They'd just be ludicrously soaked in oil.

    Must make sure to avoid chippers in Scotland so. Crispy outside and fluffy on the inside is definitely the way to go.

    I do love chips like you say too, just sometimes they can actually be a bit too dry. I guess it would be fair to say I just love chips in general, so long as they are not raw!

    So we're all in agreement. Chips FTW!

    Glad that's settled.

    And some ask for a curried chip rather than a poke, which makes more sense?
    You're a sad man to try and be anal about language when your position is in defence of a poke of chips, but what else can you do but be smarmy.
    How works just fine fyi.

    Curried chip usually refers to having the curry sauce on the chips rather than chips with a tub of curry. Also, I've never ever heard anyone say "a poke of chips".

    That's because you're Irish. I was talking about chip shops in Scotland.
