On the topic of chippers outside of the North East, why can’t anywhere south of Stoney do a proper white pudding? The white puddings you get elsewhere are absolutely disgusting. Tastes like overdone porridge squeezed into a sausage casing. 

Is this a simple case of nomenclature? I know there is some confusion over the difference between a white pudding and a mealy pudding.

It's brown sauce mixed with vinegar. Offered in every chippy in Edinburgh instead of vinegar (or it used to be).

The problem is that they always douse the chips and whatever else you’re having in it. Lacks the subtlety of malt vinegar. Although perhaps it appeals more to your average Muirhouse smack head.

Is the Carron Chipper/Chippy/Chip Shop/Fish Bar (formerly known as The Haven?🤔) in Stonehaven still open?

It served/serves the best Macaroni Pie suppers I've ever had the pleasure of consuming.

Fair doos min. 👍

The last chipper I went to in Stonehaven was just down fae the Legion and across from The Market Bar. Canna remember it's name.🤔

A Macaroni Pie supper served with a sprinkling of cheese on top of a sauceless macaroni pie.

Still perfectly edible though.

The Bay is crap. Unbelievably over rated. Carron is far superior in every department.

I know it’s not Grampian but if your ever down this way, the fish works in largs is generally in the top 10 best British chippy awards and has won 1st prize, expensive mind, fish supper is about 12 quid but worth it, comes with a wedge of lemon(like it should but normally don’t get from anywhere else) and the mushy peas are to die for(beef stock,vinegar).

to finish off across the road at the ice cream parlour (not nardinis), they do melted ferrer rocher sauce and put it in the bottom of the cone and then your flavour of gelato.mmmmmm.

[Dons79]

You best calm down dom, only providing a service in case any of yous are down this way for work is all. Trying to be nice, enjoy your vino today.prick😂

It’s a decent chipper. The wife paid so no complaints from me on the price.

I'll pass that on to my Mother min.😄

Just so happens, she's going down to Scarborough via Whitby on Friday for a few nights. (Simpson's Bus Tours Mini Break).

Does the inspiration for the story of Dracula by Bram Stoker originate in Whitby orissa actually Cruden Bay?🤔

Whitby is where the boat carrying Dracula's coffin docks in the book.  Cruden Bay supposed to inspire Drac's castle.

No point now, nearly dead, my written prose isn’t Swahili, it’s understandable and that’s good enough for me.

That was a good one, it really was.

Back on the subject, do I read books about pretendy monsters in far off castles?   No.

But for your information, I read a book a week.

Speaking of monsters.
