Curry, rice and chips.

[ste d' indica]

Despite being with my missus of south London extraction for many years, she is still baffled by this concept and finds my ritual pre-match scran from the Blue Dragon a very strange business altogether.

She went to Uni in Manchester and doesn't remember it from her time there, don't think it's a particularly Merseyside thing though is it?

So, half chips, half rice, curry sauce. Is it a thing down your way? Does your chippy do it? Does you eat it? Do you have the fried rice or are you a purist?

Hmm??

Me and the mrs get it every Friday for tea.

 

[GwladysBlue]

I’ll get chips, rice and curry beef, but never just chips, rice and curry sauce.

Ah yes, now for me tea - defo.

She's really interested in how far beyond Merseyside this is a thing. Obviously not in that London. Don't see it in Brizzle either, too busy with cheesy chips the 'kin weirdos.

Cheesy chips and curry sauce

Chips first as the greasy base, curry sauce, grated cheese and then jalapeno's on top. When home, I'd add malt vinegar and squeeze ketchup into the gaps. Messy but tasty.

 

[ToffeeTim]

It's marvellous.

We call it a half and half in Belfast

Excellent, now we're getting somewhere.

Peas and onions are great along with it too

Good for you sir. You must have an arse like a blood orange but fair play to you.

I can confirm in West London it definitely is not a thing.

Only thing that should go on chip shop chips is salt and vinegar. Or if you are feeling really bold onion juice.

In Scotland the chippy is a different concept totally
So if you require the said delicacy
It's the Chinese only

Do they not offer deep fried curry sauce then?

 

[coollino]

Never heard of it.

Fascinatin'. So a chippy up there is strictly a fish, chips, pies and deep fried confectionery affair then?
