North/South Divide......

As I have already mentioned during another post, I am a huge fan of chip shop dining, which probably goes half way to explaining my level of fitness.

After writing the post, a few of Tipple & Takeaway readers left comments, some of which concerned ordering habits at chips shops. Looking through them I wondered...... "Does what people order depend on where they come from?".

As most people know, thanks to Peter Kay, people up north, such as myself, have quite an obsession with gravy. He's absolutely spot on, and this is echoed resoundingly by bascially every northerner I've ever met.

Another dish which seems to be quintessentialy northern are puddings (here is a recipe if you fancy a bit of culture). Which if you don't know is basically suet pastry with pie filling inside it. Dabs (which is simply a slice of potato battered) also seem to be an unknown any further south than Manchester.

I'm curious...... what do you order at the chippy?
