We're back to the DDT now. Feels good to be home, right?

I'd like to acknowledge and thank @bacon@aussie.zone for their daily blessings of food, heat, thermo-nuclear radiation, and everything in between. Thanks bacon! 🏆

I've never actually had a chiko roll. Is that horribly un-Australian of me? I don't think I've ever had one of those fish shop dim sims either, they always look a bit gross to me.

Probably. I think they're kinda dying off these days though. I've been in 6 fish and chips shops so far that said they didn't do them anymore. Admittedly though, 2 of those were weird hipster ones bragging about everything being low sodium and didn't even do potato cakes

I fucking hate those places. Can't do a decent fryup for shit and charge excessively for it

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Yep. Hipster cafes are usually okay, the best coffee I've ever had came out of a hipster cafe (though they did have pricing to match). Hipster fish and chippies though, hell nah. I don't want low sodium chips with msg free chicken salt! I want the filthiest, most unhealthy, deepest fried chips with the most artery clogging chicken salt you'll give me!
