This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I remember when anything from a chippy came wrapped in newspaper. I don't know why, but I really appreciated that as a kid.
Fish and chips vendor. Basically wonderfully greasy fried British street food.
There is nothing like a poke of chips. Somehow, something so simple truly has no analog in the US. I really don't know what they do so differently.
Can someone translate for those of us on the other side of the pond...?
Fish and chips shop. Traditional and delicious British dish.
Chips here meaning french fries in the US, not potato chips, which themselves would be crisps in the UK.
It's what British people call a drug dealer. It comes from the word chipper, meaning perked-up
A "chippy"?
Carpenter
Or, in this context, a British fish & chips shop
I suppose being wrapped in newspaper would make it feel more scruffy and home made
I don't think it was that - the way they wrap it is very quick and professional looking. The texture was nice in particular - a warm parcel of newspaper. Idk.
That reminds me of how they wrap burritos
