RoyceC Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Just saying ... I live in Connecticut, a barbaric land that boasts NO fish and chip shops. The local version with the same name leaves everything to be desired. Needless to say whenever I visit Warrington and the relatives, I make up for this gap in my diet. Nothing constructive in this post, just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Heck Royce, I know just how you feel! I could kill for a plate of chippy fish and chips with mushy peas but can't get any here. Can get fish of one sort or another but mainly with bones in and chips are not uncommon ( though here they are called fried potatas and crisps are called chipsys) but no mushy peas. I have thought of booking a flight to uk just to buy some from a chippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyceC Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 We can get tins of mushy peas from import shops, Chips here are called "french fries" and are nothing like the real thing. You can bet that evry trip back home calls for several visits to the "chippy". Crisps here are called 'chips' also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I feel your pain and I live in England - southern England that is. Chippys here are just not the same, no gravy, occasionally we get mushy peas and curry sauce but always in their own little pot, never in a tray like at home.

RoyceC Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I am retiring permanently soon and am definitely moving back to Warrington. My living requirements dictate I live within walking distance of at least (3) chippys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
