Women here that think "they are all that and a bag of chips".

[bronzeage]

So do I.

And mine are no-salt white corn tortilla chips, I don't get to eat regular potato chips. But I do get avacado! ~ yummy ~

I always thought of you as the hot basket of chips on the table, fresh from the fryer and a bowl of salsa. No salsa verde. Too green.

Well that's cause you've seen my face.

Sod the chips ( or fries)...
If some alt with just over 100 posts in a year , really needs to attack one or two female posters , why not grow a pair and do it openly , using their 'real lit ID' ...
This thread , why ?
I cannot see the point.

Somehow seems to lack the all important vinegar.

 

[Shamanskiss]

surely the saying is an english one?

if so, he must mean good old fish and chip shop chippy chips.

with salt and vinegar, a wally or an onion.

Couldn't offer provenance on it , but I can remember my grandad handing down the stated item , with the words ,
" there you go , you get all that and a bag o'chips". I think it is a term that has been modified in terms of meaning. The 'all that' bit seemed to apply to getting a 'newspaper to read' , with chips as the 'bonus'.
That's over 40 years ago , before Americanisms had any real foothold.
The expression seems to have been adapted to reflect the 'dogs-bollocks'
attitude more recently represented by 'all that'.

It's what insecure men do when they aim low and fall short.

In answer to your query, I submit the following pieces of evidence:

1: He's called Playb0y. Yaaaaaawn.
2: He refers to females as "chicks".
3: He thinks that the self-worth of a female is based purely on physical appearance.
4: He is so insecure he has to put a notch count in his signature.
5: He's quite clearly a ballbag.

Huh? Where did grease come into all this? A little light olive oil is about as close to grease as it gets.

they are coated in oil and then baked! or worse fried!

they are just about the most disgusting concoction ever. after that crap you yanks eat called shit on a shingle.

I missed that. Must have blinked and missed it . ( bet he has heard that before ).
Is it me , or does 5 a year seem a little bit of a let down for a Playboy.
I imagined something more like 5 a week , and two on weekends would be more the whackedTally.
Maybe my maths was shot to hell.

But , that's probably all you chicks fault 'cos you're too busy being all that and bags of chips , with scrapings/batter bits as well .

Crap us yanks eat? Every time I've crossed the pond I've ended up starving and living off Toblerone bars. I mean, what's up with all the fried animal guts and the cutsey names? Bubbles and squeak? That about sums up my intestinal tract for a week after eating it.

All this over ITALIAN croutons none the less. Lets just blame the French and be over it.

bubble and squeak, lololol (named after the sound it makes cooking). but guess what? a lot of the stuff sold as 'traditional English fare' rarely, if ever, gets eaten by the english/brits - specially at the prices they charge the tourists!

My mother in law asked what "bubble and squeak" was, when she saw it on a menu. I told her it was a mouse flavored soft drink.

Actually, I am all that and a bag of chips...and a COKE. yeah.

bubble and squeak is yummy and if you ended up starving it must be because you are dim. even where I live you can get good food.

plus we have so many macdonalds here now, you'd feel right at home

The same could be said for Chipped beef in cream sauce, poured over toast.

With all due reverence for British cuisine, there is nothing which can't be made unpalatable, given enough effort.

I have never had the official version of bubble and squeak, but I have eaten enough dishes which were similar to know it would be tasty and satisfying, if done properly.

In the US, McDonalds chicken McNuggets are used as a therapy for depression. If a person eats a 6-piece Chicken McNuggets early in the morning, they realize nothing worse can happen that day, and immediately feel more cheerful.

hahahaha!

bubble and squeak is just mashed potato and greens made into cakes and shallow fried. it was a way of using leftovers.

shit on a shingle is just... well hell... the name you give it says it

there is actually a lot of american food I'd love to try. Especially from the south.

Define THAT.

I'm willing to yield on the chips and Coke part assuming you are willing to share them.

A lot of southern cooking is based on consuming left overs. Where I live, excellent food is considered commonplace.

Bubble and squeak would be called potato pancakes. They would contain onions and bacon or sausage, seasoned with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and probably oregano. They would have a crispy skin, slightly browned and fluffy inside.

There is a table for three waiting, anytime the two of you can make it here.

i actually like them, about once or twice a year, but have only ever had them with fish and i have to really fancy them.which is once or twice a year.

my kids have never eaten mushy peas - they're horrified that i do!
