You never got cigarette ash in "fast food"?
Once a "pastie" from a "chipper" had an entire butt.
Pastie= N.I. UK potato / mince concoction in batter, deep fat fried. About diameter of a 1/4 lb burger and maybe x2 thicker. They might have them in Scotland too. Never seen them in England or rest of Ireland.
A Chipper has real chips (not fake US French Fries) and deep fried battered cod (sometimes whiting or haddock). In England also may have rock salmon, which in reality usually dogfish of some kind, a small species of shark up to 1m common in British Isles waters. In some places may have pickled eggs and mushy peas (not in Ireland outside N.I.) Also burgers with or without the bread (a bap in N.I. and used to be called a bun burger in rest of Ireland before US Chains were common). Also fat pork sausages, optionally battered. Some in N.I. even do fried soda farl sandwiches (an Irish Griddle Cake is related) with a fried egg filling. There are also battered onion rings and mushrooms. A curry sauce almost unique to chippers.
