Proper chips are unbeatable but where the hell do you get proper chips in London these days? True, there are a few old-skool chippies left, but I have no idea where the nearest one to my house is - twig-thin 'fries' from yer Krappy Fried Chicked just aren't the same. The great thing about having dumplings in the freezer is that I can cook them whenever I want and they take about three minutes.

yeah brittania is big and brothers on water lane e15 is even better. there's loads of good chippes still around. if they sell kebabs or chicken they're probably shit though. (as a genreal rule)

Fair enough, that is a good chippie, and very handy for the Palm Tree, but it's not quite on my way home, sort of thing. God, what a lazy sod I sound like! (and am)

Has there been a 'best London chippies' thread yet? If not there probably should be.

'Prawn cocktail was soggy affair, with a "forgotten in the cold-store" taste that even a downpour of tabasco couldn't mask. Sole was fishy and full of roe, I got a battered haddock that whilst slightly underdone was an improvement. Unfortunately the waiter insisted the sole was fresh depite a grey sheen on it and I was charged for both dishes. At £60 for two for a poor meal with poor service this has to rank amongst my worst dining experiences on the planet. Had to have a shower to feel clean again after this meal. Go to Fish Central or The Fish Shop Islington. Go anywhere but don't come here.'

Where? The one between globe and Grove Rd is rubbish. There's one at the eastern end of the market that i've never tried.

Also, the Greek place at TCR tube is really good and it does kebabs and chicken too! - I ate there last night, it's about to close cos of the redevelopment, so you've got 3 days left to try it out.

the one near the market. i think the one you mean is the one run by a real old couple.
i quite like the other one. its not consistant enough to be considered one of the heavyweights but it fills a gap nicely/

lol the chips - on a takeaway ting - are amazing. i have never sat down to eat there, mostly because i refuse to go out for seafood in london.. i fucking love the stuff, but it's horribly overpriced and usually crappy quality too, it's agonising. so whenever i go on holiday somewhere where it isn't, i catch up, a lot. last time i was in spain i'd just buy half a kilo of shell-on prawns as an afternoon snack, and sit there eating them like pistachios or something.

but i stand by faulkner's chips, they're amazing.. soggy prawn cocktail or not.

Wot, really? You mean Dionysus? Shit, it's been there for about 40 years. Not had fish there, but the chicken and chips are good. Damn. :(

That's the one. Closes Monday, but there's a sign on the door saying they're gonna open somewhere else and to leave email addresses for the where and when.

The UK could definitely do with more good mexican places, major lack here. Has anyone been to a Bar Burrito? Like a Subway for Mexican stuff, quite bland, you need to drench everything in Tabasco to get any sort of kick out of it.

i took an American in one of the Mancunian Barburritos years ago and they were amused with the 'how to eat a burrito' leaflet inside :)
their salsa verde was good but they've recently taken it off the menu for some tomatillo reason.

buffalo wings in London would be killer.

there is good pizza in the UK but i know what petergunn means, i couldn't believe the quality of simple slices of cheese when in NYC recently. there, Chicago and Milan are my favourite pizza towns (although Milan is the only place in Italy i've been to).

10 of TONY's fave Big Apple pizza pie joints- check out the description of the first place!

you lot take lovely photos, all these things look sublime.

Someone posted a link to some Australian blasphemy that was a sort of shepherd's-pie-flavoured pizza. Which made me :slanted:, :confused:, :mad: and finally just :( in turn.
