4eyes Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) brannigans crisps Oooh, yes please. Beef and mustard - get in!!! http://www.britishcornershop.co.uk/product.asp?id=15647 And Fentimans Root Beer is quite good. Its botaniclly brewed, just like their D & B, unlike all the chemical rubbish you get most places now. Come to think of it a chippy tea with some D & B would be topping about now!

PhilR Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Our local fish & chip shop used to cook everything to order in beef dripping which was changed regularly, so none of the nasty whiff of rancid oil you find nowadays. The old lady who owned it was kept busy shoving spuds through a hand turned potato peeler which looked something like a giant mincer when the place was rammed out after the pubs closed on Friday and Saturday nights. It closed for good when she died but I don't suppose it would have lasted long with the current regime of H&S. A bag of chips was a tanner (2.5p for you youngsters ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
