Chips and curry - how much do you think it would cost?

[Pretty Boy]

It's £2.50 in my local chippy so allowing for the usual football fan mark up I'll go £3.50.

[HH81]

2 quid. Sure last time i was in there chips were 1.50.

[emerald green]

I've got a sneaky feeling it might be £4.50. :wink:

[Loopz]

Voted £3.50 can't be more than that. Would not surprise me though. Used to go all the time but customer service is non existent.

[silverhibee]

Chips and curry - how much do you think it would cost?

Well. :greengrin

[Jonnyboy]

Guy in front of my brother in the queue asked how much a tray of chips was. £3.00 was the answer. Effin ridiculous was the response :wink:

[Beefster]

Do we win a portion if we guess right?

[Pete]

Do you mean curry as in an actual curry or curry sauce you get with chips and curry sauce?

[judas]

The anticipation is killing me. Can you bring me to a climax?

[theonlywayisup]

The anticipation is killing me. Can you bring me to a climax?

No...I'm going to let this run and run.

[theonlywayisup]

No sauce, as in sprinkled over the chips.

[Bishop Hibee]

I hate 'Chinese' style curry sauce so I don't care! Has anyone tried the lentil soup yet?

[DC_Hibs]

Anyone know what time this thrupenny bit is publishing the result?

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

More excitement on this thread than at the game.
Also discovered in the Hibs club before the game that they now have Joker IPA on tap. Also more exciting than the game

[Onceinawhile]

I was in there sitting some exams recently. Is it yellow enough?

[silverhibee]

No...I'm going to let this run and run.


Was that due to the curry sauce.

[Jack Hackett]

No idea what they're charging but expect it's exorbitant, pretty much the same as all catered foods/snacks/drinks everywhere in these islands.

Speaking for myself, I tend to avoid all of them purely on principle...the principle being that I refuse to be ripped off by robbing bassas :greengrin

[iwasthere1972]

No idea but I'll take a stab in the dark that it's between £1.50 and £4.50.

When are we going to be told. The suspense is killing me.

[NAE NOOKIE]

On the subject of BTG ...... The lay out is rubbish, if you get there after 1:00pm you have no chance of a table ... I'm sure if they jiggered it about a bit they could get more tables in. Also, whats with the plastic glasses, they are a pain in the erse.

Plastic glasses are only in the family part us real drinkers upstairs get our pints in real glasses. BTW can you get a plastic glass surely it should be called a "plastic"

I was in BTG yesterday and witnessed one Rod Petrie having a wee laugh with a couple of kids. :agree:

Sweet talking them before sending them up the chimneys.

Probably.

I think Stephen Hawking would struggle to solve this conundrum.

[Beefster]

We need a definitive answer. I can't go a second night without sleep.

My glasses have plastic lenses ..... does that mean I wear plastics? :nerd:

20 pager.

[McSwanky]

No sauce, as in sprinkled over the chips.

I'm not being funny, but do they actually sprinkle the sauce over the chips? Because that in itself would be worth paying the full £4.50 for.

If you wouldn't mind clarifying the method of depositing the sauce over the chips, I can then make an informed decision on which option to choose.

Many thanks.

[sadtom]

£1.50 for a can of skoosh is bad enough. Huge mark up.
Always seems to be quiet whenever i go in after the games now.
Should defo try to use the facilities better than is being done at present.

I overheard him saying"did your parents really pay £4.50 for the curry and chips, mugs" as RP laughed away. :greengrin

[worcesterhibby]

You're going to have to be more specific about the ingredients list for the curry, some types of curry for instance include saffron as an ingredient..currently saffron costs around £10,000 a kilo..so that could make a huge difference to the cost of the sauce. In that case you might think it's expensive, but it may be an absolute bargain.

Full chemical analysis of the curry sauce required before you can expect us to make an informed estimate of the costs.

To be fair we could do with some info on the type of potato's used as well. If it's king edwards (god forbid, sassanach veg) or Maris Piper then again the costs will be higher. I am told that the Pentland Dell variety is the chip connoisseurs spud of choice..again their use would increase costs considerably.

Admit it, you're the Catering Manager in BTG and trying to find out how much you can get away with charging.


If I could make a recommendation, you should start selling Currywurst. It'll sell like hot cakes.

Oh and you should obviously sell hot cakes as well, for the same reason.

All this is true .... we could also question if the chips are twice fried, that would increase labour and fuel costs.

Refuse to answer until there's confirmation there's a prize for the winner.

No saffron was harmed in the making of said curry sauce

Was in Germany for a stag weekend recently and lived on curry wurst for days. Outstanding

Each guest in the South stand was handed a letter from the club(Leeann) on entrance last Saturday. It thanked them for helping commemorate the outbreak of WW1 and invited them all into BTG for a drink and the Scotland v All Blacks game afterwards. I also noticed when I drove past on Sunday that BTG was being used by some third party for an exhibition. Looked heaving. Hopefully it starts getting used more

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Eat a small lunch around mid-day, maybe a tin of soup and a slice of toast.

Have the Mrs rustle up up a Crombies steak pie with roasties and carrots for tea.

Leave the curried chips, pizza and cans of fizzy sugar to rot on the shelves. :agree:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

I am guessing that the price will have gone up, since the thread started.

Did they include the curry question? If so what was the answer.

Between this and the doner kebab it seems the Germans could have taken over the street food scene instead of American burgers and chickens.

[Phil MaGlass]

Currywurst and chips, washed doon with a beer or a gluhwein, is the bollox.
