You'll find most chippy's at resorts sell crap, as they know they can rip-off the people as most they'll never see again. You usually find the ones away from the main areas are better.

:iagree: ... this is often the case. But I know of one particular fish 'n' chips restaurant on the seafront at Anstruther in Fife's 'East Neuk' - that's so popular there are always queues of folk waiting to be served in the height of summer. Mmm ... delicious fare ... as I'm sure will be borne out by 'Scottish Bride' who's fortunate enough to reside in this resort.

WE where in Whitby last month for a week, stayed in Robin Hoods Bay in a static caravan for a week. Nice place though I prefer the lakes for the sceanary. I know what you mean about whitby chippies being over priced but its geared towards tourists isn't it. The best one I found was the magpie cafe, north side of the river near the pier. Folk queueing up outside. Saying that though the best chippy is Nicks 400 yards from my house. Better than most coastal establishments, not bad for a chippy in the geographical centre of the UK!

As for national dish its curry isn't it? Or cheese on toast, or anything involving bread. My missus still can't beleive how much bread I eat and she's been here 6 years! Also anything with beer in the title. Or anything involving a spud.

[stevewool]

beans on toast or jacket potato with anything on it in it or at the side of it, we have a nicks near us and just like you say it taste better too, arnt you at work subseastu:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Yep, been out in wonderful egypt for 2 weeks now, 3 to go. Its 35C here, flat calm, quiet nice apart from being strapped up alongside a crappy platform.

[stevewool]

all right for some , then again i cant moan, each night i am strapped next to the most beautifull women in the world:xxgrinning--00xx3:not strapped but might try that another time:icon_lol::icon_lol:

[sparky]

agree about the coastal chippies
there are 2 near us- one there is always a queue and the other always empty

always a good indicator if your in a strange town:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Pete/London]

The worst fish and chips I have ever had was at Cromer and the best was at Weymouth by the harbour. When its good its unbeatable.

:yikes: Easy there sailor, that sort of thing you want to keep to your self. Unless of course you're going post the pictures!!!

[mistermatty]

Some of the best Chips can be had on Great Yarmouth market place , there must be 10 stalls selling chips , a 200 year bylaw prohibits them from selling fish !!

The chips are to die for :)

England can be shameful when it comes to food. Despite producing some of the worlds top Chef's, and having some amazing dishes. We seem resigned to poor quality Fish n Chips, Microwaved Pub Grub, Fast Food or tasteless Greasy Spoon. You have to be very lucky to come across good food, and it's rare to find a Pub now that cooks fresh a good meal. The problem is that people seem to accept this poor standard.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, and on the rare occasions that i'm back visiting family, we struggle to find somewhere thats reasonably priced for a decent meal, and it's rarely British Food.

[stevewool]

home cooked i think is best when you have that litle time, the stews that lasted a few days , home made rice puddings , use to buy a chicken for sunday dinner then had the scrapes monday then the bones made a soup too , the good old days :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:we even had scurvy in the good old days now that was intresting:icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

[Steve.r]

I like to go shoot a couple of bunnies, and cook them up in a big stew with lots of carrots and sweed a lot of lentils and dumplings ....... mmmmm....:hubbahubba:

[RickyR]

mmm freshly caught bunnies, now thats real British food.

[KeithD]

I like to go shoot a couple of bunnies.....

[KeithD]

I can't stand Indian food.... especially if they've mixed it with their feet :cwm24:

[triple5]

I have a love/hate relationship with Indian food. My mouth loves it but my :action-smiley-081: hates it.

[-sillybilly-]

Huh? Really? :cwm24::cwm24::cwm24:

I had a few currys.....
Beef curry, potato curry, pasta curry, fish curry and egg curry! :D:D
All from my workmates in the hospital. They used to save me some during our lunch. And few days later i noticed that I smell curry? :cwm24:
