I'll be having fish and chips from my loal chippie this evening and it will be liquidated with a pot of gravy.

Delish.

Fried, battered fish...



...with gravy on ?





You sir, are mental.

Where exactly do you get a pie barm? Is it a chip shop 'dish'? First I've heard of it actually being a thing.



I have heard of Macaroni pies existing in Scotland, though, which sound just as bad.

Do you think so?

I know plenty who have gravy on battered fish, seriously.

I've seen a fair few do it, too. Still think it's weird, personally. As is my uncle who dips his toast in his tea.

I feel ill, won't the batter go soggy and how do you reconcile eating fish that now tastes of beef gravy ?

It sounds almost as bad as that Sintellins delicacy: split fish and curry.



I initially wondered what a split fish was but apparently a split is a poly tray with 2/3rds chips and 1/3rd mushy peas, a piece of battered fish is the placed on top and curry sauce poured over the lot.



That is wrong on so many levels

It's not a bad combo, give it a whirl?

Must be honest I only probably fell into it about a decade ago.

Some female I was knocking about with encouraged me into it and I've never looked back.



Even got my solicitor mate/next door neighbour into it.

It's my shout to get them tonight for us.



Quite partial to a couple of battered sausages with chips and curry sauce from same chippie.

Just seen your post.

Is curry acceptable with chips and deep fried sausages?

You would get a pie barm from any bakery that sell both pies and barms. E.g. Greenhoulgh's

Black peas. Always had them on Bonfire Night and they sold them from stalls when the wakes came to Leigh.

Gravy on fish? You dirty b'stard
