Forgot to post this one from a week or so ago.



A "mini fish" special at lunchtime for the grand total of £4 including the pot of curry sauce, was more than enough to keep me going until well into the evening and Mrs G would have been done for the rest of the day.

That looks foul. Something about a Bargepole comes to mind.

Agreed, looks like that horrible stodgie batter you get from the Chinese on chicken balls.

Fish'n'chips is not exactly a meal that photographs well.
From the pic, you can't tell anything about the texture.

£4 for a half portion sounds like a nice lunch. I like a good fish and chip supper, but I don't always want a big meal at lunch.
A lot of places, you don't get a sandwich for £4.

Not sure about the curry sauce though, surely that goes with sausage and chips for when you're really economising?

Maybe I have low standards but I'd be happy with that for four nuggets...

Smooth batter like that says it all, it shouldn't look like a baby otter.
It's like pork pie meat, if its grey, stay away.
I agree that £4 isn't bad though.

Fair point on the batter, it wasn't the best. The fish itself was better than expected, not fresh out the fryer but not in value fish finger territory either.

One of those where you have to be realistic in terms of expectations, £4 doesn't go as for as it used to and whilst it wasn't going win any awards, for (about) the same price as a Starbucks "Skinny Vanilla Spice Latte" I know which I'd rather have for lunch :-)

Agreed, I've eaten stuff that didn't look that good costing more than 4 quid!

I'd also say that's clearly not a proper portion of f & c, it's a cheap lunchtime special and should be judged on that

Curry sauce needs changing to either chip shop curry or mushy peas mind

[TwigtheWonderkid]

What does £4 get you these days, a sandwich in Pret if you're lucky. Although maybe not.

But my choice would be the 'spoons breakfast muffin with refillable hot drinks at £3.71. Providing you order before noon.

It wasn't, and tasted lovely.

My dinner tonight: Large Cod & Chips, from the chippie in the next street to my house in Darlington.

Freshly cooked, £7.85 (up from £7.50 in December)

Franco's sit in Restaurant near Port Talbot. £14.15 for a large Haddock, chips and mushy peas. It was handy as we could take the dog in with us. It was nice and they served beer too

I'm sure they tasted lovely, but why do nearly all chip shops cook pale anaemic looking chips? When I make them at home I make sure they are a nice shade of brown.

And use terrible salt.
