Hmmm needs more Spam.
That’ll be on the adjacent spam board. Spam fritters, spam fritters with cheese in, spam and curry sauce, etc.
Fuck I love spam fritters
Then Iceland have you covered. They used to do the ones with cheese in too.
Spam, spam, spam, spam, chips, and spam.

Definitely needs “chips chips chips eggs and chips” as well as “lobster thermidore”
lobster thermidore with cheese beans tuna bolognaise curry and gravy please. Hold the slaw.
Chips egg sausage and chips
Oh lord that menu looks so good.
chips and tuna
That’s not how you do fish and chips 🤢
I know this is about French fries and not potato chips/crisps how I’m thinking of them, but unironically tuna salad on toasted wheat bread piled high with crisps is my go-to comfort food when I’m down. I can only imagine French fries would have a similar vibe. I’d urge you to try IF you like tuna salad anyway.
Crisps / potato chips are also cold though, like tuna generally is, so they do work together. Tuna mayo with crisps works really well.
Chips / fries are hot though, so that heat will warm up the tuna, and lukewarm fish that should be cold is just wrong. Maybe if you had a small portion that you could eat quickly, but I can’t see the appeal.
I could see that. Like, if you weren’t getting specifically a tuna melt, then the heat from the chips could be off putting. I didn’t consider that, I just thought “salty potatoes are great on tuna sandwiches”!
It’s a chip shop, what else was anyone expecting? Garlic bread?
what else was anyone expecting?
A more efficient and proper menu board.
Why are they listing every combination of chips instead of simply putting the gravy, cheese etc under a toppings sub section under chips with the price for each topping instead?
It doesn’t add up properly for that.
If chips are £2.20 and cheesy chips are £3, then cheese is 80p. Then if chips, cheese and gravy/curry is £3.50, then gravy or curry is 50p… except if you just get chips and gravy, it’s £2.50, so actually gravy/curry is only 30p, unless you combine it with cheese, in which case it’s more expensive.
Perhaps the main reason is that they can stop someone asking for chips, gravy and curry sauce, which is a crime.
Or the quantities of toppings vary?

There are many chippies most with efficient menu board design, they just won’t be worthy of doing the rounds on the Internet.

It’s probably influenced by Chinese chippie designs where each dish is assigned a number for ease of ordering.
Maybe not garlic bread, but they must have some bread options.
I want a chips & cheese butty*
*bun/roll/cob/breadcake/sandwich, depending on region
Garlic chips at least.
Brits really do treat chips with the same reverence as Italian and pasta, the Japanese and rice, or Americans and corn syrup.
But cheese, chips and gravy sounds fucking mankBut cheese, chips and gravy sounds fucking mankPretty good chippy combo. Ask the Canadians about it.
Or the Isle of Man, New Jersey, or a bunch of other places.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !confidently_incorrect@lemmy.world
I can never remember the correct way to do this. Hopefully someone will build it into the editor!
It is. If you start typing “!” then autocomplete kicks in.
Ooh, fancy. !confidently_incorrect@lemmy.world It works! Now I just need to remember the !!!
I’ve received a surprising amount of criticism for this take and you know what I’M DOUBLING DOWN! CHEESY GRAVY SOUNDS AWFUL!
this just sounds like you haven’t tried it yet 😋 I will send you some in the post x
I’m so sorry for you!
That’s HIGH-FRUCTOSE corn syrup to you, good sir.
Apologies, the intricacies of American cuisine are lost on me.
Also please don’t call me sir
Listen bruv.
Ser?
poutine hater detected, please stay put for enforcement action
Between poutine and ketchup cake, it’s no wonder nobody raves about Canadian food.
could be worse, could be british “food”
Canada out here catching strays
gravy and cheese is a classic, I’m more concerned about the curry and cheese combo
(obv paneer masala is spectacular but British takeaway curry + mature cheddar? cursed)
Potatoes will save the world one day
Spam, spam, egg and spam.
Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce served in a Provençale manner with shallots and aubergines, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top and Chips.
Yes, I’ll have the chips, tuna, coleslaw, & curry please.
Good to see they have vegan options
beans are a very honourable uk vegan staple

Are these current prices? Assuming this is from England the cost is USD $4.54.
I can’t find chips, cheese, and gravy anywhere for that price.
Depends where you live in the country - but this looks about right for where I live. The portions aren’t small, either.
The battered fish tend to be quite expensive, but otherwise the fish & chip shop is literally “cheap as chips”.
It’s a bit of an anomaly though - most other hot food places are more expensive, and you can even spend £2-3 on a small pre-packaged triangular sandwich from a supermarket.
The portions aren’t small, either.
I’ve lived abroad for a few years now but where I lived beforehand, a £3 portion of chips could feed a family of four.
Why didn’t they just have “chips” and then everything else individually listed and I can make my own combination? It’s no difficult to make, and it takes up less space on the board.
Let’s assume the currency is £ (but that doesn’t really matter for the example).
Chips = £2.20
Chips + Cheese = £3.00
That means, that just the Cheese = £3.00 - £2.20 = £0.80
Chips + Beans = £2.50
That means, that just the Beans = £2.50 - £2.20 = £0.30
Chips + Cheese + Beans = £3.50
£2.20 + £0.80 + £0.30 = £3.30
I guess they did this so people don’t notice they are getting ripped off…
Because that way you’d get people asking for unholy abominations such as gravy and curry sauce, tuna and beans, or coleslaw and bolognaise.
This sounds suspiciously like trying to make people do math
torn between chips & curry or chips cheese & curry
You know you’re getting the cheese
Shh dear, don’t cause a fuss. I love it. I’m having cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese and cheese!
Maybe I’m too American to understand, but cheesy coleslaw sounds absolutely diabolical.
No one in their right mind would go to a chippy and order coleslaw. Half the time it’s disgusting anyway, but regardless if it’s from a chippy it’ll be soggy
But cheese coleslaw is brilliant.
