    Not really the same but as a kid I can remember my mum having no money and very little in the cupboards and she would dish up soup and mash, we always knew when things were bad when the soup and mash came out lol.

    Your not alone :D

    I had to fend for myself from a pretty early age and soup and chips were a regular tea for me. Not had it for years mind but I think I might have to have it now lol

    I have heard of that, soup and chips, I think its a north of Watford Gap thing, like chips with cheese, Chips and Mushy Peas, Chips and Curry Sauce.

    I'm hungry now.....

    I am in the North West but never heard of that one. Have heard of 'Kirby cuisine' which is Pot Noodle on chips......bleurgh

    soup & chips yum. We used to have oxtail soup or chicken soup over our chips. From what i can gather its a northern thing but it might be restricted to a few areas lol. My friend was horrified when I said that we were having it for tea that night. It tastes soooo much better than it sounds so I'd say if you haven't tried it before give it a go.

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

  • My mam does this - first day you have the stew with dumplings then the next day what's left is served on top of chips with lots of bread and butter to make butties :D I dont usually eat it cos she puts split peas in and if i ate a pea i'd just DIE _pale_ :rotfl:

    Where you from jp? Maybe a regional thing? I'm up north, near Burnley :)
