Savage Edit by Fox
I think that this is only of passing interest to the topic of Chip Shops but could certainly be expanded elsewhere. It has a lot to say about Scottish culture and cuisine. Maybe some Glaswegians could help out with this. [[User:MontyZuma|MontyZuma]] 18:15, 2 May 2007 (EDT)

Can I just look at these:
* [[Birmingham]]: Chips are often steeped in curry sauce, which is usually served cold, sometimes in a polystyrene cup. Because of its Kashmiri community Birmingham is the [[curry capital]] of the country, and many different styles and blends are available, all of remarkably similar taste and appearance.
''OK, its a bit casual, and tries to be funny, but incorrect?''
* [[Yorkshire]]: Haddock, rather than cod, as the default fish; beef [[lard]] the frying medium of choice. "Fish bits" or "scraps" are the pieces of batter that become separated from the fish during cooking. They may be acquired for a nominal fee from the purveyor of fried produce.
''All absolutely true'''
* [[Scotland]]: pizza, haggis, macaroni pies and Mars Bars are popular choices, all deep fried. Haddock is also the fish of choice, though several varieties are often available. A macaroni pie consists of cooked pasta in a pastry envelope.
''all absolutely true, and I have seen evidence to substantiate it. There was once a fried mars bar pic somewhere.'
* [[Edinburgh]] and the Lothians: Chip sauce (a.k.a. chippy sauce), based on a closely guarded and centuries old Italian recipe, is offered alongside salt and vinegar as a dressing for fish and chips. Locals swear by it.
''Dont know about the Italian connection, but the rest is Ok'.
I didnt want to make this too long, but I think the Liverpool one is also OK - Beatles ref is absolutely true and Liverpoll does have a Chinatown - I've been there. I'd like to know what evidence that Fox has for making these claims.
