Food

[Bluto10]

Best of the best.

 

Top eateries.

Best restaurants.

Finest hotel meals

A1 cafes.

 

I'll start with the worlds number one chip shop in my vast and extensive chippy experience.

 

The Magpie,

Whitby

 

[Ke1t]

Texas de Brazil, Orlando, for meat-eaters. Some of the best food you'll experience. If you're a vegetarian you might want to change your mind just so you can try this place.

 

Seriously.

We're now banned from going to Newmacher since one of the lads got caught there on backshift

 

Davys in Bucksburn it is as that one next to the train station is shite.

Her nae wrong.

Worth the wait tho.

 

Cracking village min 360 on yer doorstep.

Brilliant place.

 

What's the highly regarded place just off of the road south?

 

Never been like.

[Bluto10]

What would you add to a food thread given your vast and eventful o&g career cheese ball min? You must've been in som e decent foreign hostelries? Food ones that is.

[Bluto10]

Tip post big guy.

 

I'll read it tomoz, sober.

[RAZOR]

You been to the Dyce one recently?

 

Been taken over by an Aberdeen Rowdie, Dayts might know of him. An accomplished chef in his own right but has put his efforts into the Chipper game.

 

Very good by all accounts.

 

I haven't been in probably around a year. Used to quite regularly get banjoed in Spiders then smash a mock chop on the train into the big smoke.

 

Willing to give it one more chance since your sound. If it's shite, I'll break your teeth.

Admittedly the Dyce one has fair gone up in the world. I hit it over xmas and couldn't believe the difference. The chipper up here is called Frankies and is fully deserving of the title - UK's number one chipper. Superb quality.

[ChutneyLove]

Vlado's on Swan Street in Richmond, Melbourne. Before the old guy passed away he wouldn't let you choose how to get your meat cooked, only the cut - because he knew best. He was right.

So 'pipes, is Dale Winton deid?

[BrianFaePerth]

Wendy's

[Dom Sullivan]

Wendy's

Is that some random Quine you've eaten Brian, or the food chain in the States?

 

If the latter, I've always assumed (possibly wrongly) that they are at the cheap end of eateries but to be fair, I've never ventured into one

Latter.

 

Delicious, the way fast food was intended to be.

was the manny forrest who had it for years and it got really really shit...... used to give the quines a row for dolling out far too many chips.

 

Aye its magic now, glad somebody took it on.

I quite like the Ashvale in Portlethen.

 

But then again, all the chippys in Boro are terrible, so I have no problems admitting that I am a philistine in this area.

[Stoney]

 

I Have an AB21 postcode the sign says shire but the postcode says ABZ

The Buckie postcode is AB.

 

Nice try.

[Stoney]

All I've saw is photographic evidence of his fish suppers.

 

Properly crisped batter, served in a eye catching box with a wedge of lemon.

 

Certainly looks better than the soggy effort davys pass off as cooked properly.

 

Davys used to be decent 10 15 years ago, now it wouldnt even pass for dog food.

Davys is crap, I live beside it and avoid like the plague.

 

The one next to Dyce railway station is under new ownership, a ex football lad and pal of mine owns it, he was Scottish chef of the year last year, was surprised he started a chipper but have heard it's quality, not been yet but have read good things about it from my mates on facers. Called Salt and sole now, I agree it was crap when it was the Osprey.

Hahaha, just read this after replying to Razor, yeah I do indeed know him, a mate of mine, been on many dons/scotland related excursions with him, good lad.

[Bluto10]

Kibelling is the equivalent over here.

Fine stuff.

But I do love a proper fish and chips; always load up on them when in Blighty.

Salt an V on the chips.

Just salt on the fish.

Mush peas (optional)

Mayo (mandatory)

[tommo1903]

Dayts you should run a chipper, gives the folk getting paid off a job

[tup]

I've never had a fish supper in my life.

Asia Style.

 

St Georges Road, Glasgow.

 

Between Charing X and St George X. Just across the M8 from my former abode, hence I was a regular.

 

Smallish place, basic decor (formica tables etc), "doesnt look like much" etc.

 

However, its a Pan-Asian Taste Sensation.

 

It used to be smaller, and so was often qued out the door, but they managed to expand next door and so its now roomier. It maybe lost a wee bit of charm because of that, but not much. Has a great reputation and they jacked the price up a little as a result - only fair I guess - you get what you pay for, and all that.

 

They often have tiny / cute asian (chinese/malayasian?) waitresses - I fell over one once, when i was in the place half cut.
