Ray, I must confess, iv'e seen piles and piles of the same product or other products in the store rooms in his various restaurants, but had never thought to see what they were. Mind you, it's highly unlikely that anyone would really want to cook chip shop fish n chips at home, as half the reason you have them is because you can't be bothered to cook.

Chris, a good beer batter is delicious, I much prefer a good homemade batter to chip shop batter. I tend to use bottled ale's as the fizz helps to lighten the batter. I also add onion seeds too.

Yeah, and I bet they had no trouble getting pudding and chips, and a chip muffin, lol

Surely there is no such thing as a Chip Muffin? I've heard of a Chip Batch when I lived around Chester which was basically a round buttered roll with chips in.

I like muffins, and I like chips, just not sure the two would go together.

I've never been a fan of the chip butty, it just seems wrong. The wife thinks otherwise though and often sneaks a few chips into a slice of buttered bread on the odd occasion we have them.

I was up in Lancashire on work and stopped off at a chippy. The chap with me asked for a roll with his chips and got a Barm Cake not sure about the spelling. But I do remember it being the size of a dinner plate!

Hi

Oh the regional delights. We get baps, but go  out of town and I've heard every name under the sun to describe them. To give it its full name it's a stove bottom muffin and yes they make a lovely chips bap. How come no one has not mentioned chip shop curry sauce!

Hi

Axe you've been rumbled, you mean to say you class that yellow wallpaper paste as curry? too much time in those catering kitchens. Now I'm off to post a recipe and I expect your full support in putting it up for COTM. Now where do I start, open packet add water and heat. done! What do you think 10/10 for consistency, 0/10 for taste.

Chris,

You've never had a chip muffin? :  You haven't lived mate.

Only joking, yes, Chip bap, cob, barm, roll and muffin, all more or less the same thing, to our Chinese chippy owning cousins but, if your in an English Chippy (not many left) and ask for a chip muffin, it will be a Lancashire oven bottom muffin, like this: http://www.ovenbottommuffins.co.uk/

Much nicer than the rest.

I did once get kicked out of a Chinese chippy for asking the lady serving, if she had brown baps ;D

Commis, 'tis a fair cop m'lud, you caught me proper. Only it was that other fella what told me that, he done me up like a kipper see, 'n' not a battered one neiver. ;D

Joking apart though, i've never tried the curry sauce. Is it any good in with chips, can't be that good if no-one has mentioned it. Is it meant to be a cheap take on a Chinese curry?
