How can you not mention the fact that in renowned glaswegian chippies they offer such delicacies as battered pizza, battered mars bars and battered ice cream?--CatWatcher 03:24, 26 April 2007 (EDT) see http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/12/1227_041227_deep_fried_mars_bars.html
Now doesn't that look delicious?
- Yes it does. Can you add the picture to the article? Dorpfeld 03:34, 26 April 2007 (EDT)
- Good point. We could have sections on the various differences in regional and national cuisine served in these establishments. Dorpfeld 03:27, 26 April 2007 (EDT)
- Will add it later if someone else hasn't done so by then.

Re: merger. I don't think this should be merged. The chip shop (or 'chippie') is a very distinctive cultural, as well as culinary, institution specific to Britain and Ireland.
How can anyone talk of merging this article. It;s probably the best one on Conservapedia. I think we should go for featured status. --Felix 06:53, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
"Fish Bits" are called "scraps" in Birmingham and Humberside. Also mayonnaise is offered in Birmingham chippies although I am unaware as to whether this has anything to do with Dutch or indeed Belgian immigrants. Not sure if any of this info is apposite. --Olly 07:29, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

Merge article?
Absolutely not; the articles deal with two entirely different things.
Potato chips is the American term for what are properly called (in Great Britain, home of the English language) potato crisps.
Chip shops are purveyors of the much more substantial and wholesome British older relative of French Fries (which is a distant relative, at best). The importance of chips in British culture, and their incompatibility with French Fries (chips are always prepared from the finest locally-grown potatoes, and must be sliced on the spot, as opposed to being reconstituted, extruded and shaped in a factory like French Fries) makes it absolutely inappropiate to merge the articles. --Jeremiah4-22 09:05, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
