The Hut Traditional Fish and Chips, in Warwick Terrace in Silksworth, has often sold out the dish after the delicacy found new a following on social media.

A bread bun, sliced and filled with chips and topped with curry sauce or gravy, is then closed, dipped in batter and deep fried, with the result a crispy carb-fest of a lunch or dinner.

The shop also offers an ‘extras’ version, where other items are added such as a burger, cheese, chilli or beans – even Mars Bars during a Christmas offer – with the business promising: “You name it, we will put it in a bun and batter it.”

Used to be that curry sauce on fries was exotic.

I still miss the spice burger from Irish fish and chip places.

The teatime treat

The first thing you have to get is that "tea" is not tea [with cucumber sandwhiches and pastry] in UK unless you are in a highclass establishment. It's a late afternoon snack break often provided by employers to employees. You can have a can of beans for tea.

We don't actually speak the same language. We just think we do.

my parents are from that part of the UK, Teatime is the equivalent of dinner here in the US, dinner would be lunch and supper is what you have as a late night snack before bed
