caronlel Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Ahhh, Becketts..... hardened the arteries of a generation they did We used to run to the Manor Top from Hurlfield School at lunch time to go and get a chip-butty with scraps for the princely sum of 25p. Then we would either sit outside what is now Somerfields (I think!) and savour every mouthful or.... we'd go and wag it in Lyndixs' mums shop - well, me and her big sister did anyway!

spikey Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Beckett's fish and chips were the best in Sheffield; it's making my mouth water to think of them. Not sure what healthy eating fanatics would think about the dripping, though - but you can't make proper fish and chips without it.[/quote becketts were good id saythey were the forth best in sheffield baracuda marys duke street tonys whicker mrytle road crinckle cut chips i live in glasgow and when i come home i like good chips but manor top last summer not good.

soft ayperth Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Anyone remember Adam's fish & chips on broad st? My aunt's f & c shop. She operated it in the 40s, 50s, through to the early to mid 60s. I'm admittedly biased but I think they were the best fish & chips anywhere. Every Friday during the summer my brother & I would have our mid day meal (still called the "dinner?") in our aunt's back kitchen, followed by ice cream from the nearby Granelli's store with canned fruit. What a feast. Over here everyone seems to think that good f & c have to be dripping in grease. They shouldn't of course. Nice & crisp, but never greasy. My aunt always used to say that the temperature of the fat was key. And like has been mentioned, the lard did a much better job than today's vegetable oils. Bon appetit. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
