Reply to: Fish & Chips

Do they use some kind of magic heat/potatoes/oil up north to get chips cooked better than down south?

As said, it's in the beef dripping, but also traditional english Fish & Chip shops are dieing out in the south. A chinese or kebab shop never do good F&C.

Mmmmm fish chips, mushy peas and curry sauce!

Up north they still use beef dripping to cook them most of the time, down south it's usually vegatable oil.

The best roast spuds are cooked in beef fat as well.

The best are cooked in goose grease, mais n'enculons pas des mouches.

Well with the examples I quoted its probably due to the unique texture of AyrShire Potatoes.

25% off their lunches at the moment if you give them a (fictional, in my case) email address to go on their mailing list.

Was there yesterday. Lovely stuff.

Top tip, would love to go now, but I am still on a call

Not so - although I thought this for a while.
The Punch Tavern on Fleet Street do a very nice beer-battered haddock & chips, best I've tasted in Central London.

Remember Indians etc. wipe their whatsitsnames with their left hand. If they only use their right hand you are OK.

just beware of the extra long lefthanded fingernail

used to scrape any leftover bits out

You mean in the south they try to make fish'n'chips with a cod piece?

I love fish and chips, you don't get many good ones in the south (most are not traditional English anymore) and rarely get Haddock
