That can't possibly taste much better than Fozzer's Kidney Pudding.  (Not made with his own kidney's, presumably.)

You guys seem to have some weird ideas. I've never seen a kidney pudding. Steak & Kidney pudding or pie (otherwise known as Snake & Pygmy) yes. Delicious. LOL

There's a nice British place near my Grandma. Serves up nice fish n' chips but their salmon is a bit over done.

Fish 'n' chips is traditionally filleted haddock, deep fried in batter served with "french" fries & lashings of salt & vinegar. Other popular fish are cod, plaice & huss or "rock salmon" which is in fact a salt water catfish. I've never seen battered real salmon. Fish 'n' chips tastes best eaten with your fingers straight from the wrapping. This used to be newspaper in m young days.

People would come from all over just to find out what a Buttie is.

A buttie or (butty) is a local name (north of England slang) for a sandwich. 2 slices of buttered bread with a filling. A chip butty is filled with chips, what you would call french fries. A jam buttie would be filled with jam.

I tried Tripe & Onions once & almost threw up after one mouthful. Never felt inclined to try it again. As for eating offal, I hate to think what goes into the average hot dog or hamburger. ::)

Well, Hot Dogs used to be all kinds of filler stuffed into an intestine.  Nowadays though, they're pretty much just processed meat molded into a weiner shape.

Hamburgers are just plain beef...

In Canada, Fish 'n' Chips is usually made with Halibut. I don't care much for Haddock, I find it's a very bland fish. Very popular in Scotland though.

I don't think a chip buttie would taste too good. Potatos on a sandwich.  :P  I usually make them with Canadian Bacon which is really nice, especially with some melted cheese.  ;)

If you ordered Fish 'n' Chips "oop North" you would get haddock, probably as it's caught locally. Cod & plaice are more popular down South. Cod, my favourite, is becoming harder to get these days & much more expensive.

Chip butties are very tasty. You're most likely thinking of the US-style open sandwich. A traditional British sandwich is 2 slices of liberally buttered bread with the filling in between. In some parts of the UK fish 'n' chips is not complete without slices of buttered bread ready to create your own butties. Delicious. :D

we can thank the spanish for our lack of cod, for some reason they think that they can fish our waters dry and then request we hand them over gibralta to. go figure.
all a mute point as i dont like fish, although cat fish is quite nice little greasy though.

Well I'm going to have to admit that years ago before the Australian Gov't banned haggis(no doubt for very good reasons)I used to eat it at a friends'(Scottish)place and didn't mind it at all.

Then again I'll eat just about anything ;D
