I’m off t’Leeds in’t Summer. I’ll be hitting KPs wit brother n’law for deep fried chip butty, I’ll tell you that for owt!
Another delicacy that they’ll no doubt sell in that KP’s chippy is the Yorkshire fishcake. I ordered a fishcake in Sheffield once and was handed one of these unusual but pretty decent tasting things:

FYI - Fish & Chip shops in Yorkshire call what is known in the rest of the country as a fishcake a rissole.
Fishcakes should be round, covered in breadcrumbs and fried. Love them.
Along_the_Wire Exactly, which is why I was a bit taken aback when I was handed it - thought they’d got the order wrong. I pointed to what I always had known as a fishcake in the display and was then informed that’s what they call a rissole.
I’m not from Yorkshire originally but have spent about 8 years living in it at some point or other and can confirm it’s part of the regional dialect. All the chippys I’ve been to in the county use these terminologies.
Long story short, if you want a fishcake in Yorkshire ask for a rissole instead.

bosstrabs That’s true, I’ve never seen the word used on a menu in a Fish & Chip shop outside of Yorkshire though.
It would be slightly less confusing if the menu stated “Yorkshire Fishcake” and “Fish Rissole” but I imagine that it’d still baffle most people from outside of the region who don’t know the local dialect. It’s by the by anyway - most menus just plainly state Fishcake and Rissole.
I’ll tell you that for owt means ’I’ll tell you that for something’ which doesn’t make as much sense and is less likely to be said (although may be said mistakenly)
It that slop reviewer guy a known internet personality round ya’lls parts?
Christ no.
I couldn’t imagine him in Locanda Locatelli for example.

Whenever one of these is posted I am compelled to watch the entire thing. I’ve been going around all day exclaiming “ooh look at this!” at everything I see. That burger he builds is an absolute poem. Two beef patties, grilled chicken, nachos, salad, mashed potatoes, gravy…. I lost count!
