I’ll start: Greggs is massively overrated. I genuinely don’t understand how people hype it.

Edit: this is a casual community so it would be great if we could avoid politics lest it descend into chaos!

      It’s good until you’re about halfway through and the grease catches up with you.

      That’s a good one! I do like a chippy as long as the batter is nice and crispy. Can’t stand vinegar though, absolutely vile stuff!

        I’m American and I couldn’t imagine getting fish and chips without malt vinegar. They aren’t just serving it with white vinegar over there, are they?

          It’s with malt vinegar and a lot of people like it, it’s just not for me!

        It’s the chips for me. Anaemic soggy rubbish is awful, our local changed hands a few years back and they started to dry the chips until they were crispy.

        It was amazing. The chips even managed to stay warm and not too sweaty after getting them home because they started to box them rather than wrapping in paper.

        However they received so many complaints they reverted back to paper, and the chips are a hot lump of soggy crap. There are several chippies in town who serve that crap, it was a nice period when we had one that made good food.

        I don’t bother with fish and chips anymore.

      I prefer fries to thick cut chips if I’m given a choice but battered fish is golden crispy magic.
