ooh, now you've got me into gastronomic memories! I had a cousin came to stay with us in Chetham when we were adolescents and she found our chippies much different fom their London ones. London chippies sold saveloys, big orange frankfurter type sausages, which we never had, but she never saw a steak & kidney pudding in her chippie. Also, our chippie used to sell bottles of Dandelion & Burdock which she developed a taste for. My cousin still speaks fondly of what she calls Dandelion & Baldock!
The Jewish bakers in W'lo Rd used to have a huge batch of a kind of shortbread type biscuit and whenever my Mum & I went in, the ladies would give me one for nothing, as I was quite a cute kid back then.
I lived in Huxley Avenue, and when I was a teenager, the laundry at the Cheetham Hil end became a chippie but was run by Chinese folks. I used to chuckle when they'd hold the plastic vinegar and salt bottles above your chips and ask if you wanted "sore finger?", then they'd ask if you wanted "[censored] else?"
