So I went to the chippy on the way home from work..

Kotek Besar

..to get a bag of chips (they didn't do cones) and a scallop.

The girl was just opening as it had just turned 5 o'clock. She opened the padlocked shutters (dirty, rusty and, I don't doubt, full of cobwebs), then proceeded to serve my delicious and nutritious potato delight without washing her hands!

Now my grandma always said a bit of muck doesn't hurt, but in this day and age isn't that just minging?

old gregg

did you accept and pay for them?

MitchKoobski

You still ate it?

MidlandsM

Just eat yer feckin chips.

Kotek Besar

Yes, it was delicious. To be honest, I think the dirt, rust, cobwebs and sweat added to the overall flavour. Still minging though.

Not much use telling us is it!

It meets all your nutritional requirements:

rust - includes iron
cobwebs - deters flies
sweat - contains salt
dirt - nutritious enzymes

yum yum yum

In fairness though, if she opened the place how did she cook them so quickly?



EDIT: Its called a chipper, not a chippy. None of the englishy talk now

Cause chipper food is the picture of health.That probably made it better for you

Something similar happened us on the way back from Dublin about 20 years ago in a Chipper in Carlow before all this health and safety really kicked in- they were cleaning the floors with no gloves on and served us straight after without washing their hands. One of the lads challenged them over it - We got barred:mad:

You get salt and vinegar on them? Takes away the minging!

MitchKoobski

I can't remember the last time ANYTHING I got from a chipper was delicious AND nutritious...

AdMMM

Where the hell can you get a cone of chips? I don't think I could even bring myself to ask for such a thing lest I be laughed and jeered out of the chipper!

Pretty sure they have them in Brennans in Lisduggan. I remember the last time I was there they were advertised and had big stacks of cones.

Brennans do indeed have chip cones. I don't see the point honestly unless they put a load of lovely mayonaisse on top like they do in Belgium.

When I was a young lad growing up our local chipper was the stuff of legends, I mean this was the early 90's so there was no HACCP or health and safety.

Things like:

she NEVER changed the oil and rarely cleaned.

Used to precook the burgers and just microwave them.

In the end Rats chewed all the eletrical wires and it never reopened.

Needless to say I don't remember her washing her hands .

Damn this thread! I'm off to the chipper now. Had a craving since seeing the picture of lovely chips in that cone.

MitchKoobski

So that's why Burger King tasted a bit off this morning....

Deisekickboxing

why do chipper staff wear them vinyl gloves??

they seem to use them for handling money,using cleaning stuff, making the burgers ,handling the extra cheese and whatever else comes with it.............:pac:

Johnny Walkers don't do it anymore, they have a grill now and you can see them cooking it in front of you.

Do they cook the onions? That's the secret behind a nice Dooley's burger.

Unfortunately no
I hate biting into an uncooked onion.

I don't usually get burgers from Walkers either. I'm more of a sausage man.

ziedth

At the risk of dragging this off topic but I think there is a special extra hot circle of hell for people who have cooked onions on their burgers

kryogen

i shall be in that layer of hell when i go so
