Proudly satisfying
British food with two simple ingredients.
Fish - Preferably
Cod (but they are getting in dangerously short supply),
Haddock,
Plaice or one of a smattering of less desirable varieties - deep fried in
batter.
Chips preferably made from real
King Edward's Potatoes and not from some reconstitued
gunk.
Though quite greasy it is filling and provides a good balance of fat, carbohydrate and protein. It is of course immensely tasty.
This dish marches ahead of the pack of other, lesser known, English culinary feasts such as Curry, Yorkshire Pudding, Apple Crumble, Custard, Christmas pudding and Spotted Dick.
