[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1038570, member: 70552"] Yep, onions vinegar used to store pickled onions. Mushy pea fritters. Anyone have that where they live? That’s how my parents used to serve mushy peas back in their day. Northerners would order it and when they saw it they would say “WTF is that?” Lol. Yeh I think my parents should have described it better on the menu that it was fried in batter And not served in a pot Like up north. But yeh tough trade. Used to be a pub opposite the shop and would get the trade from that late night and also people passing on the main road. Not helped as time went by with parking restrictions. The pub is now gone and replaced by posh flats. I popped into my parent’s old shop in December for chips and curry sauce, it was weird as it’s now got new owners and they’ve changed the layout of the shop. I grew up in the shop from around 3 years old, so brought back a lot of memories. I used to remember looking out of the window in the flat above and seeing people queuing outside to get into the shop. Those were the days when money could be made and also less competition. Now as you say choice is endless. The chip shop near me, which I go to now has closed it’s restaurant part and just kept the takeaway section opened. Not sure if it’s just because of Covid and the effects on its business. A sushi place is going to open in its place. [/QUOTE]
