Best food at (or around) championship football grounds?

[Zezti]

Since we are faced with the very exciting opportunity of visiting places of the country we are less familiar with next season, I figured we try to make the most of it and ask some of our more well travelled blues from the 'Doing the 92' threads for recommendations for food and/or drink.

From my own research, I would like to avoid Birmingham City's burgers like the plague

Reading is absolute [Poor language removed] AIDS of a place.

It makes the North End of Birkenhead look posh.

I suppose brasses that speak multiple languages is an upgrade on Birkenhead though !

The last time I went to reading I fell down the stairs in the ground. Proper fat man tumble. I blame the ale

Battered chips, LOL. Only the wrong uns in the Black Country could come up with this artery destroying delight.

The National Dyslexia centre is just outside Reading.

That second rate joke is the best thing about that third rate town.

Oh no, they're actually fantastic, but step back and scrutinise them and they're all kinds of wrong nutritionally. Bit like a battered Mars bar. Which are also magnificent, but I know the one I tried out of curiosity in Stonehaven will have taken approx. 12 years off my life ?

I had battered chips in Paignton.

First three were heaven, how had I possibly been eating unbattered chips all my life, what an outrage.

The next few were slightly harder work as the grease took it's toll.

I threw the final few in a bin, threw up in a pub toilet and happily went about my day, enriched by the experience.

The jumbo sausage was quite nice.

I was living in Torquay at the time and there was a chippie in Babbacombe that had won some sort of big national award.

Queued for ages to get pale hard chips and a soggy light batter on the fish.

Give me classic chips refried until they are husks and layer after layer of crunchy artery blocking batter on my fish.

Also stop trying to church up curry sauce with pineapple and raisins.
