Half chips, half rice?

Yes, it’s definitely more prevalent in the north. It’s especially big in Liverpool. “’alf and ’alf with curry“ is half chips, half rice with curry sauce.

Occasionally had the equivalent at some top Indian restaurants. Ordered some chips on the side. Think it’s a nice combination of flavours and textures, especially with a powerfully flavoured curry.

I wouldn’t say McGuinness was especially weird. Think he’s made the absolute most of himself and good luck to him.

Had a Naga chilli chicken with half and half in Cardiff after the Newport game, was fantastic.

Did glasgow invent sweet n sour then?

I have eaten sweet n sour in bangkok, lopburi, udon thani, khorat, kuala lumpa, hong kong, singapore, phnonm penh, manchester, london, jersey, guernsey, liverpool.

Each one of them was different but all were sweet n sour, it is a genereic name for a dish, there is no right or wrong way

No doubt there are many versions. Here's the thing, I prefer them looking and tasting good. I'm fussy.

Oh and add Glasgow to that impressive list and you will see the light. Although to be fair, the next time you have it in say Udon Thani, you might kick off, as it will anger you how good the Glasgow one is and how shit theirs is.

As long as it has no pineapple in it I am happy no matter the location of origin
 
Used to be a Chinese chippy down Crossway in Didsbury that used to do half and half 35 years ago, it's nothing new up north.
 
Sadly, “half rice, half chips” is a culinary delight which has not made the Transatlantic journey west.

Here, it’s “half rice, half noodles” with your Chinese…and ANY curry, let alone a decent one, is hard to find!

I actually like to pick up Sukhi (brand) dishes from Costco, as they do a line of Indian dishes, and I like their curry immensely. Then, at home, can make them with chips (fries) or rice or both.

Tbh, we usually eat them with 100% brown rice, although I do like it over chips myself!

As for my Chicken & Mushroom from the Chinese in England?
Definitely half rice, half chips!

Chippy Curry in England?
100% Chips, no question!

I don't know; you can get it in Irish bars around here (Boston) if you ask. My nearest one serves curry over chips and rice all the time. Again, you have to ask for it. By default it is one or the other. So I say "Ahh mix 'em up a bit" and I get it with both...;)

Yes, I get it at the Irish Bank in San Francisco, but I don’t run out to west coast Irish pubs for curry too frequently!
;-)

I’ll check closer to home next time I’m looking for an Irish pub in a Chicago.

Another place that serves curry sauce is Pasty, a place where all the food is a pasty, with loads of different fillings!! They do sides, and I’ve done chips and curry there (with a traditional pasty). That was in Phoenix.

Sadly, it’s clear too many of these places don’t have a pot of curry sauce simmering, or even make it fresh for you, but just throw some stored crap in a little bowl and microwave it! Yuk!!
