BATTLE of The BATTERED BARMS! Tenerife V Bolton

[@davidcoleman157]

Excellent blogg Lee. Been to Palms chippy in Tenerife several times. Excellent fish and chips. Nice friendly place with good service. ONWARDS

[@rob9994]

Palms for me Lee, I will be in Tenerife from 13-27 January. Thanks to you, I have a good knowledge of the places I want to visit. I will be sure to try the Palms Chippy for sure.

[@villarule06]

Fun story. I was born in derby and grew up not far away and it’s always been a cob! I moved to the Wirral with work and the first time I went to the chippy there and asked for a chip cob, I got served chips and a cod!

[@sarahillingworth2718]

Forgive me, but when u say battered chip butty, I can imagine someone battering a chip butty with a baseball bat lol

[@welshjohn]

They both looked great but Lorain’s at the palms gets the 👍s up from me. Mmmmm I’m hungry now lol 👍👍👍

[@jimperry5414]

In the late 60s we would peel out the insides of the balm cake and fill it with chips for our school lunch, great times

[@TheMacMaster]

Lol. 😂 I did that.

[@stephenuden6403]

9/10 You were so close to where I live, I pass there 4/6 times a day but I've never been in. There's a brilliant Indian a few feet further along too. There are so many places to try around this area, I'll send you an e-mail with them all. P.s Yes it's a Bolton postcode but it's far closer to Chorley, I live close by on the border and would rather be known as Chorley than Bolton. I feel more confident walking through Chorley with my primary school aged daughters than taking a chance in Bolton. Next time you are near Chorley have a look at the Boatyard Bus cafe, its an old 1989ish Leyland Olympian that's been turned into a cafe. The owners renovate old motorcycles, Triumphs etc and also do day hire on canal boat trips, there are some great little pubs and ice cream places along the way.

[@neilbland1701]

Ooooh, so wonderful, i am rather partial to a Chip Barm hehe - never had a deep fried one though, so that's different. Enjoy.

[@duntruckin2701]

First time I have ever seen someone eat a barm with a fork. The wife said you should just get hold of it! Has Blackrod moved, last time I looked it wasn't between Mansfield and Leeds! Naughty naughty! LOL! 😊

[@TheMacMaster]

Lol. On way to the Lake District to sort my late mothers Estate. 😞 x

[@duntruckin2701]

SORRY Lee didn't realise, see you soon on the next one! 😊

[@TheMacMaster]

No worries. It'll be me kicking my clogs next if I keep eating food like that. Hope you're well. Am I right in guessing you're a retired lorry driver. 😁

[@duntruckin2701]

@@TheMacMaster Yeah I thought that was obvious, been driving since I was 19,I'm 69 this year, boy how them years fly bye! The wife brought the kids up, I was always down the road. Up at 3am to beat the traffic down to London, or leaving on a Sunday afternoon to be there first thing Monday am!

[@chrisoakes156]

Drooling watching these as usual 🤤🤤🤤🤤 you'll be needing 2 seats on that Ryanair to Tenerife big boy 🤣

[@TheMacMaster]

Lol. 😂

[@nataliehick5071]

We tried the Palms last July after watching your vlogs and have to say they were the best fish and chips we have ever had!! 😋

[@TheMacMaster]

Hey. Thanks. Now I wsnt some and it's only 10am. Lol. 😂

[@chrisayling7675]

Great to see different menus.

[@thetrollexposer717]

Agreed on the surprising appearance of the Bolton one Lee. You get a battered sausage for example, and the sausage is completely ‘shrouded’ in batter. The Flounders one was more like a ‘batter-topped’ affair. Lorraine’s on the other hand was what it said on the tin. It’s as though she’s made the actual chip-filled barm & then dipped it in batter & deep-fried. My scores - Bolton 6.5, Tenerife - 9. Incidentally, where I am originally from, I’d call it a chip bap.

[@davidlongden2308]

Palms for looks a 10/10 can't wait to taste one on my next holiday to Tenerife.

[@louiseblueye41rowlands]

They both look yummy and Lorraine got it what I actually thought it would be too. I would say Palms Chippy has won hands down 👍🏻😎

[@raveninblack2505]

I live about 6 miles from Flounders but i wouldnt try theirs, however The Palms version looks bob on. So flounders a 5 for the chips which ive had before and for Palms a 9

[@wenzdunn2725]

One for Lorraine at The Palms Chippy, Morrison's have started doing cod fishcakes with a mushy pea filling 😁

[@roberttait4084]

Definitely WON by the Palms. The perfect snack discovered for the beach!!

[@martinjones1089]

Palms looks value for money!😋 the other one, no contest?😲

[@albertboulderwardthe3rd590]

Hope there is a De-Fib not to far from the chippy

[@rickh1634]

Did you think it should have been encased? You didn’t say I don’t think?

[@TheMacMaster]

I thought it woukd have been. Still lovely though.

[@yorkshireoz3583]

The Palms wins easily for me. Better than the rubbish from Lancashire! It's a teacake in West Yorkshire (Chip Butty) or a roll in Oz Enjoyed the different vlog Lee

[@jasondodson7829]

I can't believe that you travelled to Bolton for that Lee. Balmy.

[@TheMacMaster]

Was on the way to sort out something to do with my Mum estate in the Lake District. Lol. I'm not that mad. 😄

[@itscraig6524]

Lorraine at Palms wins for me everything inside how it should be. If I had to try it I'll give it a solid 9 and the one you had I would give it a 6 looks nice but not like Lorraine's all in. Next time we in Tenerife we should all pay Lorraine a visit and say somebody called Lee sent us over.

[@chrisayling7675]

Are give lorrain visit when I go to tenereef.

[@lucyloud9571]

Are you guys in UK out of lockdown? Are you allowed to travel? Lucky you if you can

[@TheMacMaster]

No. I was in the way to the Lake District to sort out my late mothers estate and called in on the way. 😞

[@lucyloud9571]

Lovely to see some different scenery. We are restricted to 5KM!!

[@andrewwheeler7081]

The palms one looks better, more like a giant pea fritter. I would eat both though. The only down side I could see was that they were both in polystyrene trays, card or plastic should be used now. Great vlog, cheers Lee.

[@garyconstable9063]

the Palm's looks miles an miles better but more important is witch one test the best ????

[@reedsfromleeds6347]

Hi Lee The BBB in B The battle of the battered balm in Bolton was no contest , the flounders didn’t look that good, but the Palms looked really nice, I know which I would have Flounders 7. Palms 9.5 But you can’t beat fish and chips

[@TheMacMaster]

Good score. You are right.

[@reedsfromleeds6347]

@@TheMacMaster Lee you should have called at Peter Kay’s for a brew , he lives in Bolton

[@oliandcasper]

They do look good but the fat in the bread😯enjoyed lee,love the palm's and the ladies there,nothing better than a nice cold pint in the tavern and fish and chips from the palm's 😎❤

[@hilaryparr8971]

Lorraine’s looks like expected and good , as im originally from Horwich next town to blackrod the flounders chippy looked good, your parked up on my friends parents street 😂. Did you go for a walk round Rivington after ya chips.

[@kevinhoughton9134]

Only you would travel all the way to Bolton for a chip butty! That's dedication to the cause mate, you've got me wanting chips and chip shop curry now, all the chippies round me are closed on Mondays. Nice one Lee, keep 'em coming.

[@kevint7851]

That battered Buttie must have tasted like a chill out steak, in comparison to all the Gregs, and Golden Arches food you eat. Mac..😳🙄😉😎.....👌👌👌...........Gets a 👍 for imagination

[@chrisayling7675]

It looks better. Then I thought of it by seeing it.

[@misskitteecatz]

Well, for the ascetics The Palms is the winner, but for me it would have to be a taste contest too! I live in Brighton and can’t even get a Holland’s steak and kidney pudding🥴 Only found one place in Eastbourne who does them. Made me feel peckish ❤️

[@margaretnadin8030]

Palms without a doubt. Jim N

[@nshackle]

Batter wreaks havoc with my digestive system so I wouldn’t eat either ! 😂 However, ‘The Palms’ version looked a lot more nicely presented than the Bolton one.

[@thelmabrindley2369]

Flounders are floundering ....... Lorraine at The Palms WINS hands down for me. Looked far nicer and like more care had been taken to make it look as you would expect it to.

[@victoriahenson1368]

Palms battered balm looks amazing

[@steveatherton717]

Deffo palms looks the best. might just give that a try next time in tenerife.

[@sharonnewton3760]

Cholesterol overload, so must have tasted good. Didn't look nice but chips looked lovely 😋

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Lee. That made me giggle. He has been coming every day for two weeks. Blimey. That's a bit over the top. Haha. You crack me up. BBB > Love it. Always good vibes. Definitely not what I had imagined either. It did look good. But have to be honest. Lorraine's looked banging. That is how I thought it would look. Yummy. Have a great evening. Take care.

[@AwesomeGee]

If you’re ever back up my way in Scotland, then you have to try a lorne (square) sausage, tattie scone (potato scone) and a fried egg all in a morning roll, as we call them! Superb with a fab of Irn Bru! Instant hangover reliever! 👍🏻

[@soo5jon1]

Can't fault ya with that Georgia. Also I LOVE a white pudding supper! Can't wait to get back up there. Take care

[@AwesomeGee]

@@soo5jon1 I have never tried white pudding I don’t think but I love black pudding 😍! Hopefully you can get back up here once travel restrictions ease. X

[@0707Dannyhamer]

How is the chippy cash only when everywhere else is no cash? 🤯

[@TheMacMaster]

Tell me about it! Really annoys me.

[@judywarden9270]

Personally I wouldn’t want to eat either but going on looks I’d choose the Palms version 👍

[@x_hxneybee_xlouise1058]

Plams chippy is by far better looking 👍👍

[@paulcole4902]

Bet you would of love to try Lorraine's then you would of been in TENERIFE,can tell you are desperate to get back now,looking forward to your vlogs when you can get back 👍👍

Chip butty. In batter. Different like the famous battered mars bars

Definitely the Palms Lee that's what a battered chip barm should be

[@SPV1579]

MacMaster, nice to see you visit my home town, sorry we didn’t get chance to say hello. It looked like the Bolton barm batter had exploded😆😆.It’s a great chip shop though. Great Vlog again👍👍.

[@anneelton1906]

Late watching Lee sorry but don’t think I would chance that ! Lorraine has a lovely personality though 😘

[@peterbalding1470]

Well you've tasted palms chips so that would give you a personal choice of both chips. On looks definitely palms the Bolton one looked messy In London that would be called a battered chip roll.

[@dorreenjones1348]

None. This dish will never be on my menu or takeaway. This is a heart attack on a plate.

[@xXPyrophorusXx]

When you go back to The Palms, compare and contrast the Barms.

Not usually the kind of thing I would normally eat, due to health reasons, dont fancy a heart attack anytime soon. Lol. Joking. But look wise Tenerife won it for me. Until the next time. Onwards.

[@TheMacMaster]

Lol. I thought it was healthy. 🤔😜

[@davejones6787]

My dad use to make deep fried fritters. Usually jam butty fritters but did banana fritters aswell. So battered chip barms sounds great.

[@christinepotts2397]

Hope you enjoyed. Not for me though, each to their own. X

[@allanbarnfather8765]

Hands down for tenerife

[@julielouise6659]

Welcome to sunny Bolton, Blackrod only 5 minutes from us. I agree, was expecting the whole chip barm to be encased with the batter and the sauce oozing out when you take a bite.

[@markjolly245]

I'm with you on this one Lee, I thought it would have been encased within the batter. Bolton just looked like a battered t cake, with the chips put in after with the curry sauce. As the palms was fully encased with everything in. Palms for me as its how I imagined it at the start of the vlog. Hopefully will try one of these at the end of August in tenerife if all goes well out there with covid vaccinations.
