British Fish & Chip Shop In Thailand.

[theblether]

I was toying with the idea of sending a container of fish frying ranges to Thailand, and opening a chain of British Fish and Chip shops. The initial menu would be.....

Traditional fish and chips in batter

Black pudding

Fritters

Deep fried steak pie

Deep fried mince pie

Deep fried smoked sausage

Mushy peas

Deep fried haggis ( once we catch it )

Deep fried pizza, 8 varieties, including pepporoni, salami, spicey chicken, marinara and others

Etc etc

I've have an arrangement in place to have 2 pallets of British made pies, puddings etc flown in every day.

I'll open up in the tourist areas first, then see what happens. The shops will be licensed, selling cider on ice etc too.

I need to know, do you have any menu suggestions? What kind of cider or beer would you like? And would you enjoy a good deep fried pizza at the end of the night?

I can send in kebab machines too, and side orders like chicken pakora and mince samosa would be available too.

So what do you think? Would you enjoy a deep fried pepporoni pizza washed down with magners and ice?

my arteries are in a flutter..... ps dont forget the haddock

[Goshawk]

i don't see that wholesome scottish delicacy in your menu - deep fried battered mars bar ? real 'hearty' food that is...

[SimonD]

Is the haggis free-range?

Can't bear to see the poor little souls in those tiny cages, waiting pathetically for their final moment.

It would be worth paying a premium to assuage my con...conch...consciou...

...feelings.

Edit: Sod the magners, you provide London Pride (keg), you're in!

Tell me what u want, by international treaty I can move 2 pallets of foodstuffs every day from the UK to Thailand for £300.....

Alcohol £900 for 2 pallets , if you want it, i'll get it......

[endure]

I'd enjoy a smoked sausage...

Deep fried mars bars, yum yum

What about a fist fight in the queue?

What about a fist fight in the queue?

You would get that free of charge, would you like salt and vinegar with it?

[cardholder]

I think you have an obsession with 'deep fried'.

Discard one of your fryers and get a trusty microwave.

You will, of course, need a jar of pickled eggs and another of pickled onions.

[Shrubbery]

Please add saveloys to the menu, don't forget pickled eggs.

Hopefully your food will be served in newspaper and not those horrible polystyrene trays.

Don't forget the Dandelion & Burdock to wash it all down with.

[edwardandtubs]

Is ice in cider traditionally British?

[Soutpeel]

Tell me you intend to cook all this in dripping and I am in...

[necronx99]

Pie floaters...I'd travel for one of those

Awww! Dandelion and Burdock - now I am wet-dreaming!

heathen...

Magners made a fortune out of making it trendy to have 'cider over ice'.

Mmmmmm lashing of Lard mmmmmmm

[jonnyscot]

Count me in too,, in fact I'd also regularly take a few kg's of your haddock fillets off you before they hit the fryer,, those dory fish are a poor substitute for a great tasting fish soup,, and the deep fried haggis,, grrrreat, I'd certainly enjoy a long drive to get my chops into that

You could in one year........

A secondary fanchise attached to each outlet perhaps, discounted PCI and coronary stenting services whilst you wait plus bulk ordering of statins.

nahhh ... but they have bigger cages now : )

[theblether]

All haggis guaranteed free range, one leg shorter than the other.

Ps that's not a haggis in the photn :-)

Excellent idea Blether! Please do not forget the deep fried ice cream!

I am also VERY happy you mentioned Cider. Blackthorn and Magners both seem freely available in Thailand and both would suffice. Maybe as a sweetener you could add 'free ice'?

If you are palleting in new pies every day or so maybe you could add half a pallet of mixed ciders and beers from the UK. Surpise us Cider lovers!

One idea on the deep fried pies. Can they have the sauce added to the pie before the batter goes over? Maybe in some type of thin membrane that will only break once bitten into. Tomato of course.

[theoldgit]

Lorn sausage.

Union Jacks....... Tradional British. Fish & Chips..........
