pluto pup

Contributor's comments: The Pluto pup in Newcastle goes back a lot further than the 80s .. the best Pluto pups when I was growing up in the 50s were to be had at Newcastle's Ocean Baths kiosk .. and please don't confuse them with that other great culinary delight -the battered sav .. two totally different meals.
Contributor's comments: This was certainly a food item in Newcastle in the 1950s. The best ones were at the Newcastle Ocean Baths.
