American Towns In Russia?

[Anonymous]

Perhaps we should start a poll - anyone else here know a chippy using newspaper wrappings? (Or is that a speciality they keep just for American tourists...? )

There is a chippy down my way (nasty, Starbucky kind of chain chip shop) that uses grease paper 'faked' to look like 1950's style newspapers. postmodernism at is worse.:cross eye

There was a change in the hygeine regs some years ago that required the food to be wrapped in white grease-proof paper, but despite 30 minutes of Googling I cannot find the details! (Any number of refs to fish and chips and 'traditional newspaper wrapping' though, and comments like 'only useful for wrapping fish', etc!)

This sounds like EU regulations, as gold plated by the UK quangos...
