I don't think I will bother Jen.
I like proper fish and chips...just like the ones we had last week in Llandudno.
The fish was Moby Dicks bigger brother...the tail hung over the large size dinner plate.
I was stuffed fit to burst by the time Ihad eaten it.......I should have joined at one with one of the tinlids.

The M&S version(although made in Yorkshire) looks a bit arty farty for me.

Not a hope in hell of me trying one. I love fish n chips wi salt n vinegar, not wi fancy crap.

Are the pound shops doing a budget version?

 

[shillelagh]

i wont be trying it ... I don't like fish and chips ... showed the spugster the link ... he says a trip to M&S will be in order next week ... will take it into work on chippy day .. and when one of the others asks him what he wants he'll say nowt ive brought my own ... he don't change does he?

I'd try it but I don't shop in m&s robbing gits

Some of the things are just the same price as ASDA.
I ran out of High juice cordial(I don't drink fizzy pop very much)......I was on my own and didn't feel like a hike over to ASDA....so I went in M&S and bought t heir version...it was exactly the same price....and it was delicious.
I also buy their extra strong leaf tea. Yes it is a bit dearer, but it lasts longer because I don't put nearly as much in the pot to get a good brew of tea...so in the long run it is cheaper.

Was in Hastings a few weeks ago, home of Europes largest beach launched fishing fleet so I am told.
Had Fish and Chips out of a shop on the front, sat on a bench in the fading evening light keeping a beady eye out for the seagulls.

Did they taste good? Not half !!!

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

They always taste better at the seaside(well the exception to that is perhaps Blackpool)...and in the open air.

But definitely not in a pie!

With a minted pea puree??? - No thanks, what's wrong with plain old mushy peas, I agree with Margaret, definately an arty farty take on a traditional meal, not for me I'm afraid

Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea, as long as they can make the crust look like newspaper ...
