It can be either, or a potato fritter if you think you're posh. If you buy one or two you are still scum of the earth, don't kid yourselves otherwise.

The green one let you put your own salt and vinegar on, t'other you could eat off a plate in a little recess. Edited February 19, 20224 yr by Youri McAnespie

Potato scallop is the Sunday name, I think. You might know it as a ‘smack’ from your Hindley days, Micky.

They should've called both 'I've forgoed a pint for a chip barm and shared fare for a taxi home'. Queining up for ages at Bradshawgate taxis freezing your tits off - then sharing one with randomers who were going 'the same way' - LL and GL are not the fucking 'same way'. It was also last chance saloon the queue at Bradshawgate taxis, if you'd gone to the chippies the night was already written off as a bad job.

Fucking hell I worked there for maybe a year in total. Rarely ate at chippies and certainly wouldn’t sit right going into a random food emporium asking for a portion of smack.

Rarely ate at chippies and certainly wouldn’t sit right going into a random food emporium asking for a portion of smack. More than one day in a year so the plural use was right enough in my book 😊 It is indeed a ridiculous name though. In keeping with Wiganers, I suppose.

Or heading back to Swan Cellar Bar.
February 19, 20224 yr I also miss Northern bread. No point asking for a chip barm down here. Heathens.

Eating is cheating, you only eat when the drinkin' is done. In a feeble attempt to prevent a hangover. Those days of a hangover lasting 'til a bacon barm and pint of vimto at noon Sunday - now it's hell until Wednesday.

Eating is cheating - you know that -, food of any sort is to soak up the booze. It kind of works - except for the fact it normally used to end in fisticuffs. with randomers in Indians or chippies for some trivial reasons.

Lazy southern ponce, I bet you can't even get a Warbies to make a butty. It's good working from home you can have a wank and watch Countdown post-wank.

February 19, 20224 yr Author I'm hankering after one now - but they've probably been in the steamer since Tuesday. Plus I got fish and chips earlier and I think they're somewhere. I had a power nap.

I hope you salted it, and put the foil lid back down to allow it to cook for ten minutes or so, then added the soy sauce, living in that London or whereabouts you probably had to make a pot noodle butty on foccacia or sourdough rye.
