Who is of an age where, 'real chips' were just, chips?

[Magicpole]

A pie to walk home with 2 lots of chips with another pie a jumbo sausage some gravy and curry, no wonder chippies made a killing next to pubs, it's easy done mate :)

I know. You could hardly lift the bag. If you are totally pissed, this weight differential could cause exaggerated staggering.

I started buying more curries so at least breakfast was sorted.

My wife has friens who live in Kew..proper nobs the pair of them. A couple of years ago they came to stay for a week and on the second day I was cooking tea for all our kids. The husband had a habit of hovering in the kitchen getting under my feet. As I was preparing to make the chips for the kids he said to me 'Oh, is that a chip pan?' No I said, but it is the pan I cook chips in. 'Oh' says he, 'Ive never seen anyone cook chips before'. Then proceeds to call his wife in to have a look, and she declared she had never seen anyone cook chips either. They looked at me like I was about to cook the dog. I have not spoken to either of them since.

They're dead aren't they?

I also miss a time when tea was tea. What the fuck is English breakfast tea? Sounds like the sort of shit they'd sell in America.

Ohh and spring rolls used to be full of beansprouts not cabbage, even the Chinese chippies muck about with traditional ingredients.

And ordering a cup of coffee was so much simpler.

"Can I have a coffee please?"

"Would you like a (Quotes loads of fancy names)"

Walks away confused and coffee-less.

Yes. I believe they moved up here and consequently starved to death.

I agree though I do like these new fangled salt and pepper chips!

What are real chips? I would consider not real ones like french fries and real ones being thick cut and cooked in something like beef fat

Tired of going out for fish and chips in a pub and being given reconstructed potato chips. I blame McDonald's. Anything for quick and easy.

You'd empathise with the lad at 10 seconds in....

"I just want a coffee"
