Do you believe in cod?

[Mr Bean]

Personally I prefer mine battered.

I know it's there because I can see it and it tastes really nice.

Especially from Wainfelin chippy!

[degsy]

Always good to coat the stomach before a night out :D

[Acrobaze]

Yes, I believe in Cod....but I don't know its name.:sad:

[IamOne]

[dammit]

I believe in Cod and Haddock. (and Maris Pipers);)

[IamOne]

:D I believe in Cod and Haddock. (and Maris Pipers);)


What about the theory that plaice is a myth.:D :D :D answer that then:D

[dammit]

Plaice is real enough.. but has no place in a chippy. (I think southern jessies may have it though) ;)

[IamOne]

Thats a rather placist remark(groan)

What has the humble plaice done to deserve such cruelty??? I shall be reporting you to the rspcp......:D :D :D

[degsy]

You tell us. You're the ones who eat it. We don't have it up north! ;)

The Monster Cod
Len and Andy were having a beer in the local when a man came in carrying a huge sack. Len told Andy:

"This is the bloke that caught the monster cod. You can ask him about it yourself."

Andy approached the newcomer:

"How big was the cod you reckon you caught, mate?"

"Well, it was too big to fit on my lorry, so I hacked its head off with the axe. I had to bring some evidence to convince the blokes of its size."

"You don't mean to say that big thing in the bag is its head?"

"No way. I couldn't carry the head by myself. This is one of its eyes."

[IamOne]

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean two prawns were swimming around, one called Justin and the other called Christian.
They were constantly being hassled and bothered by sharks that patrolled the area. Finally one day, Justin said to Christian, "I'm bored and frustrated at being a prawn. I want to be a shark, then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten."
As Justin had his mind firmly fixed on becoming a shark, a mysterious cod appears and says, "Your wish is granted" and lo and behold, Justin turns into a shark.
Horrified, Christian immediately swims away afraid of being eaten by his old mate. Time goes by and Justin becomes bored and lonely as a shark. All his old mates swam away soon as he came near. Justin didn't realise his menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.
One day while out swimming alone, he sees the mysterious cod again and can't believe his luck. He begs the cod to change him back to a prawn and lo and behold, he does.
With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes he swims back to his friends and buys them all a cocktail. Looking around the gathering on the reef, he asks where his friend Christian is. "He's at home distraught since his best friend became a shark," says one of the prawns.
Eager to put things right, he sets off to Christian's house. As he opens the coral gate, memories come flooding back to him. He bangs on the door and shouts, "It's me, Justin, your old friend! Come out and see me again!"
Christian replied, "No way man, you are the enemy and I won't be tricked."
Justin cried back, "No that was the old me. I've changed, " I've seen Cod and I'm a prawn again Christian!"

[Vercades]

I believe pollock is the most luminous.

[Snurfen]

The answer is very easy, Cod is COD.
Perfection itself is COD who is COD.
Coddy coddy cod cod cod,
cod cod.
This is very easy, what seems to be the problem?

I'll trawl for those who don't believe in cod.

[Snurfen]

Aha, you've been given something that your TOLD is cod, but how do you know it is cod?

Finnegans, Broadlands, Bridgend.
Britains Best Chippy, 2004.
Rubbish ever since LOL (no, it's still the best chippy for miles).

Got to be sarsons vinegar and clarkes pies (oh no, I've got into alternatives to cod)

[DELTREE]

I LOVE COD!:thumbsup:

Depends what you mean.

If you mean scraps then YES!
If you mean that it was nice and deep fried then... YES!

Can't loose! :D

Now having chips & soy sauce. Have to admin that chips from a chinese are the best :)

[dammit]

Got to have one of these Clarkes pies!!!!!!! :disgust:

[Snurfen]

Don't they cook them in some sort of nut oil?

Scraps with a little blob of curry sauce. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Right, finnegans it is tomorrow night.


Clarkes in the post, dammit ;)

[degsy]

not sure what they nuke em in but for some reason they are the always best chips.

Went to Harry Ramsdens once in Leeds. TOO dry. You need grease & vinegar with Fish n Chips.

[lufbra]

I can still smell the aroma of fish 'n chips from when I used to live in the UK, Every Friday night there'd be a fish 'n chip van come around our estate, and we'd all have a tanners worth of chips. :)

[degsy]

jees. mention Beer or Fish & Chips and Lufbra suddenly appears :D

[dammit]

Can't find a good chippy around these parts recently.... fish is OK but chips are crap. I agree too dry.... when I had a chippy I used to cook 'em to perfection.. crispy and golden. I blame the pre-prepared stuf these days. Easy for the owner... but crap for the consumer. :disgust:

[Snurfen]

Thats everyone under forty baffled then! Haven't heard "a tanner" for ages.
D-day, when they doubled the price of Fruit salads and Blackjacks, the thieving eurocrats :hmm:

ZIMMER FRAMES AT THE READY LADS, it'll be "Olde Englysh Spangles" and "Spanish main" sweet rolling baccy next :thumbsup: (watch beanie pretend he doesn't know what we are on about, the young pup).

[degsy]

Fruit salads and Blackjacks
You can still get them. Great sweets :D
Although i'd doubt you'd pay the prices :p

I still buy Maynards Midget Gems.... but they've replaced Licorice with Blackcurrant!!! :eek:

[bAdWaYz]

I don't eat fish of any kind. I hear that if you take some fresh cod just out of the water and dump salt on it then stick in in the fridge later when you take it out there will be worms crawling out of it from all over. Hence I don't eat it or any fish really.

[degsy]

Take a joint of beef, leave it in the garden, sooner or later you will get maggots... reminds me of a Halloweeen film

[Nick Grana]

A small, ambiguous piece of fish that never knows if it's cod or haddock. Some people claim that "scrod" is a young cod, while "schrod" is a young haddock, but, in fact, there's no difference - it's basically whatever's cheaper at the fish pier that day. :D

[Snurfen]

Haha.


Cor, that brings back happy memories....Number 6.:thumbsup:

20 numbies for 21p, those were the days. Oh how sophisticated to have a 20 pack in your school blazer. A real stepup the social ladder from 10 number 10 (oh that vulgar red stripe - ych y fi)

[lufbra]

A real stepup the social ladder from 10 number 10

Or a step up from a packet of Sovereigns. :p

Cod plaice or whatever, they'll never take away the aroma and taste of kippers. :)

[Snurfen]

I once had the good fortune to stay in Turnberry Golf Club. Abroath Smokies for breakfast. OMG, fantastic.

Bearing in mind I had a "single malt frenzy" hangover, I think it was fresh fresh Abroath kippers with potato gratin on top.
I could take or leave kippers up untill that point, but boy was I converted that morning.

Second favourite, freshly caught whiting off Porthcawl pier, breadcrumbs, fresh lemon juice, stick 'em under the grill. Luverly.

Still going up Finnegans tonight for cod chips and share a clarkes pie with the young 'un.

[degsy]

aroma?
you mean pong or stench, right?

[IamOne]

"Olde Englysh Spangles"

When i was 4 i nearly choked to death on a spangle, if it hadn been for the quick reactions of a man in the bus shelter my mum says i wouldnt have been here.
If it hadnt been for a passer by i also would have drown in my local pond,trying to catch baby ducks when i was 8.


However i still say you cant beat fish n chips, curry sauce or mushy peas,Salt and vinegar put on in the shop. Wrapped up and brought home.BEAUTIFUL. (old norfolk turkey saying)
None of this frozen rubbish:rotflmao:

Finnegans for chips and clarkes pie AGAIN tonight (plus a bit off the GF's cod)

[IamOne]

im still laughing at the bunny rabbits:D

[IamOne]

Picture if you will an elderly, maritime gnome
sitting on the seashell that he calls home.

Surrounded as he is by the next generation.
Teaching them to fish. Basking in their veneration.

A shape approaches looking like a shadow itself.
Flat and round, it makes its way up the continental shelf.

Its size provokes in the younger gnomes a sense of alarm.
One asks the elder "Is there not a danger of harm?"

The elder gnome grins until the fish takes the bait
when he's whisked off his shell by this piscine plate.

Dragged into the sea while the youngsters holler and cry.
They don't know what to do. They're convinced he will die.

But the elder swims back before things get too maudlin.
He laughs at their expressions and says with a grin

"It is of course well known from riverbank to holm
that wherever you go there is no plaice likes gnome."

[psi_overtake]

(plus a bit off the GF's cod)
Whoah, hold on there buddy! =P Hahaha~ Never heard it referenced like that before...

[Snurfen]

mmmm, could've been misconstrued that :eek: I actually meant I had a nibble of her fish n chip supper.

[psi_overtake]

Ack... my apologies. =_D Was reading IamOne's last few posts, and I guess I was taking _everything_ the wrong way. 0=) (that's an angel, lols)

[IamOne]

i blame you :D for leading me up the chocolate path:D

[psi_overtake]

OK, I'll take all the blame. =P But you can't run away from chocolate forever!! It'll take advantage of you when you least expect it (like my ex-girlfriend xD).

[IamOne]

who said i was running...... just had my choccy fix for today, 6 purple ones i pinched out of the xmas box and hid up....:sick:

[psi_overtake]

Those special "fancy chocolates" are good, eh? Well, usually... Sometimes they be all yuck. =S But I guess your "stash" is rather good. =D
