(bag of chips for those who are not in the 'know')

Inspired by Cazz's dinner thread and Carrust's reply.

What on earth happened to the brown paper and newspaper? It's all blooming polystyrene type stuff which isn't as romantic.

I miss buying a 'poke', anyone else miss anything?

Weather...unbelievable.. !!

A poke o'chips and a fish supper pleeeze. Maybe a white puddin' too

ummmm

If we get chips 'to eat' they get served in a cone.

I won't eat chips that are wrapped, they go all greasy and soggy.

Our chips are still wrapped in paper, it's an off white type though, not newspaper.

Hate those plastic trays you get chips in. Agree, they take all the romance away.
Newspaper and wooden forks are the best. Bit of nostalgia.

I miss lots of things, but most of all I miss my dead budgie , Ronnie.

do you know a poke in America is a "poke" in the sexual manner

Our local chippy still wraps it in newspaper of you're taking it home. Just the greaseproof paper and brown paper if you just going to eat it. Much better than the cardboard boxes we get at some chippies. I like my chips squished and soggy! Especially with "everyhin broon" :-) Has to be Gold Star broon sauce as well!
