Smack - northern chippie dish

[Eve]

I remember going into a chippie in Ashton in Makerfield and seeinf a sign up for "smack".

It was only about 30p and never did end up finding out what it actually was.

Does anyone know?

[Bathsheba]

Nope Jenna- haven't got a clue xx

[Eve]

Me neither! I am determined to find out :)

[Bathsheba]

Could it have been "snack" misspelt? ;-) xx

[Jugglering]

Apparently it is a slice of potato, battered and deep fried !
