(interruption by an American) My Yorkshire grand dad used to take me for fish and chips over here. I live on them (along with curry) when visiting England. I think there's a law now that they can't wrap them up in newspaper anymore? Is that due to the newspaper in being toxic or something?
Anyway, I'll take either haddock or cod. They don't even ask around here but I think it's usually haddock as it's rather dry.
Yeah, it came down to food and safety sticklers saying the ink was not food grade, iirc.
And for the perfect meal it has to be from the local chippy and eaten out of the wrapper, with chips, a wooden fork and lashings of vinegar!
Thanks to this thread, I've been thinking of cod & chips all day long!
So much so that on the way home I popped into my local chippy and bought cod & chips with vinegar.
Rather than continuing home I decided to munch on my unexpected dinner sitting in my car in the local park, taking in the world, enjoying those familiar fish 'n' chip aromas, and smiling my head off like a loon, lo,
Bispham Kitchen in Blackpool for fine fish and chips. The 'Moby Dick' is a very large fried fish, served with lightly browned chips, and mushy peas. Food of the gods.......

Hmm...not too many are fond of mushy peas, I see. It may remind such people of the veggies mum expected one to eat whist one was still in a high chair, perhaps.
As for the newspaper, I was merely dreaming of the UK of old, back when Tea time meant Tea and finger sandwiches, and coffee, and American fast food, were foreign concepts.
Ok, back to the 21st century, at the height of globalisation!

Here's one who's fond of mushy peas. mmmmmm. We can't get them over here. I despise regular green peas but not mushy peas--can only get them in England. Stay away from nasty American fast food, btw. It's not good for you.
