And don’t forget the fish cakes…two slices of potato with a sliver of real fish sandwiched between them, dipped in batter and fried until golden…or the John Bulls….same thing but with corned beef.
A pudding and a mixture was one and sixpence….you took your dish, it was filled with golden proper chips, a steak pudding plopped on top and a ladle full of mushy peas with a drizzle of gravy.
If I was ever in the doghouse with .Ma (as a working teenager..me that is not Ma) I could bring a smile to her face by putting a pudding and a mixture in front of her for her tea.

Yes, the only take away worth having is fish and chips from a good supplier…few and far between these days.
