Chips

Im led to believe that in Blackburn there was a move to ban the sale of scraps and they had to be disposed of as hazardous waste!

 

Yep. Our chippy still uses dripping. Amazing chips, without newspaper.

 

In the civilised world they are known as scraps. In Huddersfield they call them bits.

 

We still use newspaper for window cleaning. Not sure the vinegar is necessary, just the newspaper.

 

We always call them batter bits but Paul knows them as 'scraps' but he's from darn sarf...

 

Im led to believe they call em that in Yorkshire as well!

 

scraps in lincolnshire.

 

It's the toxic ink and seething salmonella that used to give them that special flavour. Mmmm

 

There's a chippy in Mirfield called Wi'Bits - which is Mirfield speak for "with scraps"

 

That means a chippy in Blackburn would be called Ba'ht bits!

 

in my family (and i thought universally) 'bits' means genitalia. chips and bits just sounds so very wrong

 

Scraps here in Sheffield. And none of this chip barm nonsense. I'll have a breadcake. With a Yorkshire fishcake. (runs off)

 

Breadcakes in Pudsey too

 

bread - and - cake? the worlds gome mad!

Its a barm!

 

breadcake in lincs too (bread rolls if you're posh)

 

Although I am reminded in some parts of Pudsey they are also called teacakes

 

Breads only a tea cake when it contains fruit

 

Its a Cob in notts!

 

Nah - thats a fruit tea-cake

 

You aren't the first to have made that mistake
