It could be all those years I spent in New Yawk. It might be the lure of deep fat fried food. Maybe it’s the banter behind the counter. But one thing’s for sure….
I LOVE FISH AND CHIPS.
Fresh cod and freshly cut chips wrapped in paper with salt and a tiny bit of vinegar – there’s nothing like it!
In fact, they’ve become a makeshift tradition in my life. Every Friday my team in work (known affectionately as the McGurkettes) stroll down to our favourite chipper – Leo Burdocks! There’s normally a long line outside the door as the lads bustle about behind the counter getting everyone’s order ready. We carry it back to the 4fm studios triumphantly and head out on the balcony to devour our treat in the sunshine.
MMMM…is it Friday yet?
Today is National Fish and Chip Day – members of the Irish Traditional Chippers Association will be selling this takeaway classic at half price. Check here to see if your chipper is on the list!
