I’m in the minority too. I don’t understand how we ended up putting vinegar on our chips. Ketchup tastes so much better.

A barm cake is a soft, round, flattish bread roll from North West England, traditionally leavened with barm. In Ireland, barm is used in the traditional production of barmbrack, a fruited bread.

leaven - make bread rise

The first time I ever tasted mayonnaise was when I was about 11 in Belgium on some frites (only salad cream up to then!)

I thought it was the most amazing thing ever!

I don’t know what a “Big Tasty” is … ?

When I was a kid, my siblings and I practically lived on egg and chips, or if we couldn’t afford eggs, it was just chip butties - we were far too refined to call them chip butties, though - my Mum used to put a big plate of chips and a plate of bread and margarine on the table and tell us we were having a “Communal Chip Dinner” ! :rofl: -

  • despite all those chips, we were all very skinny!
