fish and chips is a quintessentially british thing
battered or breadcrumbed fish, like cod, or haddock or plaice, deep fried and served with chips

and mushy peas. I fucking love mushy peas.

yeah i know man
my mom makes the fish sometimes, but it comes from a box and it's gross and she usually makes mac n cheese or stir fry to go with

fair enough :-)
I'm not massively keen on the fish you tend to get over here in a lot of places, too thick for my liking.

I tend to go for either a few small bits of fish, or go the jumbo battered sausage route.

you lot take it with malt vinegar right?
Or am I misinformed?
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 5 Apr 2011, 13:53, Reply)

personal preference generally
but yeah and salt

I like so much vinegar on chips that if you breathe near it you almost choke to death.

In the fridge
I have a mix of pickled onion vinegar and the vinegar from those sweet peppers. It's vinegartastic.

it does sound like good stuff
I'm having bangers and mash tonight, which means I can break out the chipotle tabasco :-D

we've got olde english salt and malt vinegar crisps
i care not for them
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 5 Apr 2011, 14:01, Reply)

it's a little different using vinegar on hot chips
more potent though. If you aren't a fan of the crisps you probably won't like vinegar on chips.

i like regular salt and vinegar
but malt vinegar is a whole other flavor
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 5 Apr 2011, 14:02, Reply)

I'm not sure what sort of vinegar they use for regular salt and vinegar crisps
malt vinegar is a pretty standard condiment over here, so I suspect I probably just assumed it was that.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 5 Apr 2011, 14:08, Reply)

we have a lot of cider vinegars
not sure what the standard is either but malt vinegar is definitely different than any other flavor i've had

i think i may have that for lunch

Ahh mushy peas.
Can't get decent ones in London very often.

I am totally having fish and chips for dinner now!

Ever tried Masters Superfish
on Waterloo road? They have some quality peas (and fish!) on offer.

There's a chippie called Fishcotheque there
Makes me giggle.

That looks the dog's!
Good reviews too.

Their superfish (whole cod fillet)
is huuuuge and wonderful. Definitely worth eating in too, as I always find wrapped fish goes soggier more quickly.
