There were times when working in Dubai that I longed for this wonderful dish (http://www.msn.com/en-gb/foodanddrink/foodnews/down-with-fish-and-chips-the-most-disgusting-meal-on-earth/ar-BBpFteE?li=BBoPOOl&ocid=mailsignoutmd), although I very very rarely eat it when back in blighty since I agree with everything the poor bloke says.
You decide.

It's like any food, needs to be done properly with high quality ingredients. Our local one uses beef dripping, sells nothing further outside the fish and chip zone than parsley cakes and closes at 8. People queue out of the door. We have fish (boned and skinned Haddock here, not your southern cod or worse) , fish cake (which uses slices of potato, is as big as your hand and contains nothing shredded or green) and chips maybe every other month.
I lived next to a place in Kingston that claimed to be a chippy. It was run by the same people as the kebab shop over the road and the fish looked like something by Findus. Just more rubbish to soak up beer.

I worked in a chippy when I was at school. Bournemouth isn't renowned as a centre of fish and chip excellence but I felt the primal call of my Yorkshire genes and got a job at our local establishment. It was run by a Yorkshire man who showed me the art of assembling a real fishcake (as AndyM described) instead of that 'orange breaded crap' that most places did. I miss working there, believe it or not, one of the most satisfying jobs I ever had.

The two things I miss living in France are fish and chips, and good Indian food. I've found, after extensive research, two places within 50km that does OK fish and chips but have still to find a decent Indian. The French can't cope with strong spices so it's all just too mild and bland. "What to do lists" of visits to the UK always have these two delicacies right at the top...

Lunch in Whitby (Fish and chips) , nice little ride across the moors, dinner in Harrogate, Shipley or Bradford (curry) :thumb:
A spot of coq isn't bad though and your roads are more empty mind.

If you have spots on your coq, perhaps you should seek medical attention? ^^

lol lol

If you have spots on your coq... ^^
I prefer a dash of mustard actually, English of course not of that feeble froggy stuff.

@Andy M. Lunch at dinner time and dinner at tea time? Are you sure you're from Yorkshire?
-
The French have little dinner for breakfast (petit dejeuner)...........
An explaination is required here though. To be 'à jeun' is to have fasted before, therefore an empty stomach. There is a definition to be sober too! :obscene-drinkingchug:
-
When southern heathens are trying to impose the 'lunch' thing I like to reply with 'if it's not called dinner then why do dinnerladies work at midday?'
-
Breakfast, dinner, tea, supper, simples :thumb:
-
Breakfast, lunch, dinner/supper. Tea is something you drink
-
Supper user650?? Aren't you posh...!?!?
Tea is both a drink and food. Cuppa tea = drink, tea = food (comes after dinner)
-
Elevenses ??
-
Second breakfast :D

Breakfast, Second breakfast, Elevenses, Dinner, Tea, Supper, Snack any more :shrug: lol lol

Isn't that just a girl thing :whistle:

Paul, empty your inbox :D

Emptied my inbox :thumb:

Is that a euphemism for what happened on the walk back from the kebab shop?
Tea is a drink and an excuse for biscuits mid afternoon. Dressing for dinner is not something you do in order to be wearing the correct shell suite when KFC opens.

-
Who needs an excuse for biscuits? :D
-
Now thinking of Whitby...am I an addict? Possibly.

Are the chips 'adult' too user650? :smirk:
-
Yes Paul, is your chippy a bit kinky? :D
-
