Roe & Chips

One of the chefs on Ready, Steady, Cook just said that only people in the midlands eat roe and chips.Ive not heard that before, in all fairness its not something I'd think of.

Do you eat roe and chips and are you from the Midlands? lol

What is roe? Is it some kind of fish?

Roe is fish eggs. I'm from the East Midlands (Derbyshire/Staff border ish) and I've never heard of roe and chips ...

Never heard of it, give me Cod, though our fish shop is usually only getting Haddock these days.

I used to work in a chippie, just outside London. We had people want roe maybe once or twice a week, it's really not that popular. You wouldn't think so, but it's really yum!

Roe and chips is delicious. I can't believe more people haven't had it.

I am from Birmingham. I was amazed when I went to a fish and chip shop outside the Midlands to discover that this wasn't a perfectly normal thing to eat! You can also buy it in Weston-super-Mare but that is because it is full of Brummies!
