Mind you it was cheaper. Why do they do that? Large Haddock, chips and peas £7.45, but Large Haddock, chips and Gravy £8.35. Next time I'll make sure I've got the funds for a proper feed. Same reason as ciggies being really expensive 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Just got back. They said haddock, chips and gravy is £7.35 if you promise not to put the gravy on the fish, otherwise you have to pay £1.00 FPT per fish. They knew you couldn’t be trusted though.

I've been using m'tredder to speed home from the chippy, rather than what I used to do, which was walk back. Preserves the batter. #Gravylife 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Rds1983 1,865 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Following on from the gravy and chips debate. We've just finished off a lovely roast beef and all the trimmings with a couple of slices of bread and gravy. Is this equally frowned upon or is it an acceptable use of gravy? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
villa4europe 17,188 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 It was always talked about at work by the older guys on site Gravy and bread I can accept, chicken dinner for example keeping some meat, stuffing and gravy to make a warm sandwich with later on the night that's obvious Bread and the meat drippings though...thats a no from me Link to post Share on other sites

Seems perfectly normal to me, gravy as it was always intended. It was not a Gravy and CHips debate, this is also perfectly normal. The perverts are the ones who have gravy with... fish, gravy and friggin fish, the sick bastards 3 Link to post Share on other sites
