Parley Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I remember when I was last in UK I thought fast food was very greasy and unappetizing compared to Australia. That was in places like McDonalds and KFC though not a fish and chips shop. But I think the british taste is for greasier food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how ridiculous, the whole nation prefers greasier food lol I have noticed no difference in how greasy the food is but I can only comment as someone who lives here. We had KFC a few days ago and it wasn't greasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had KFC a few days ago and it wasn't greasy. Well my observation was that the fast food was a lot greasier in the UK than Australia. So that part is fact. Whether Britain's prefer it greasier is speculation on my part, as I can't see why it would be that way otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is also fact that I certainly haven't found the fast food greasier, 20 years ago perhaps but not nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was 2004 when I was there and experienced it so a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flag of convenience Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I certainly found the weather kept me anything but inside during my decades of living in London. So much to do and places to go. I did find it different in the regions though and stayed in far more which sped my welcome return to London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolman Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 No, 8oz Wow, I guess they don't get returning customers. A Pukka pie, probably the best pie in the world, is less than half the price you quoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petkula73 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 You need to get out a bit more Kev:wink: go North my friend, go North:cool:.PS eat Haddock! I grew up in Halifax and you'd be laughed out of the chip shop if you asked for cod. In fact you wouldn't as they didn't serve cod anywhere in West Yorks. Haddock all the way! And we knew what a proper fish cake was - piece of haddock fillet in between two slices of potato, battered and fried. A meal in itself, with peas and curry sauce obviously.

' Yes, they do. Aguably the best known "chippie" in Salisbury and surviving in the town centre, and as for you quoting "half the price" wouldn't that be for a "mass produced" pie and supermarket price as opposed to "bakery made" and served hot in a "takeout/dine in"?

ramot Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Why can't all you usual suspects just leave this thread alone, All Kev is doing is mentioning/reporting how he is finding his trip. He isn't doing this to start any arguments, but as usual some posters just seem to delight in high jacking thread after thread. Kev enjoy what is left of your trip, spend time with your family, and hope that your visit helps you decide where to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
