Sammi Cox is our host for the Weekend Writing Prompt, and today gives us NEWSPAPER.
The smell tempted the nostrils, lingered on the clothes, but oh, the memories.
Once a cheap and substantial meal, now what it would cost to feed a family of four is not sufficient for a small portion, let alone anything on the side.
What am I talking about? Fish and chips wrapped in newspaper. Somehow it just doesn’t taste the same in a polystyrene box or white paper.

Heaven forefend the elf and safety of soggyfish and chip newspaper! 🙂🙂
ha. Those were the days.
They were indeed 💜
Today’s news was tomorrow’s fish and chip paper! Bring it back I say!
Happy memories Keith.
I first visited London in the early 1980s, having grown up on a steady diet of Agatha Christie, Inspector Morse, BBC on PBS, my grandmother the monarchist, etc. I was so disappointed: I couldn’t find a fish and chips shop that still used newspaper wrapping. Closest I came was a paper take-away box!
It’s not the same Lorraine. And they seemed to keep hotter longer in newspaper.
I’m sorry I missed the newspaper experience. I would go into a fish and chips place, and even ask (bravely as tourists sometimes do) if I could have mine in newspaper. Got some very strange looks, lol.
Most staff in the chippies are too young to remember.
Indeed, the sense of taste is more than what meets the tongue. Love the take.
Thanks Bill.
Gotta love those fish and chips out of newspaper! Yum!
those were the days
