Thanks goodness we still have regional variation.
Waht a bore the world would be if we got exactly the same thing everywhere.

That aint a rissole, but what the heck. It's regional taste and traditions luv. Savaloys used to be a Jewish speciality, that's why they are more common in London. Don't know about Shish-Kebabs though.

I have never heard of a Rissole! But I know you cant buy savaloys up north. Till I moved to London I never knew you could buy them in chip shops.
I love scraps too, but you dont get them down south!

I know, it's awful but I think it's to do with keeping things 'regional'
