Not related to anything, but I'd like to see some of the visiting Brits try American fish and chips.
Full credit to them for creating the dish, it's a damn fine one. But I think we've perfected it over here. They seem to do a single huge piece of fish, some vinegar, and some mushy peas(?!?!)
No, my friends. The best fish and chip plate comes with tartar sauce and coleslaw. Mushy peas? What? You want some crispy, sweet coleslaw to cleanse your palate. Trust me on this.
I know they are (rightfully) enjoying Texas BBQ and huge burgers, but I'd advise them to try our take on fish and chips. They might be absolutely shocked at how good it is.
Oh man, a good plate of fish n chips is amazing, especially with fresh fish. Frozen can work OK, as I said elsewhere in the thread, but fresh is absolutely the way to go if you can get it. Some coleslaw, some tartar sauce, and if you like, a squirt of lemon and/or some malt vinegar. Absolutely delicious.
I have heard of peas with mint, and I'm hearing about peas with pepper in this thread. I don't like them if they're not fresh out of the pod, but I will keep an eye out for that and try it if I ever get thr chance. Not sure what regions might use one or the other.
I'm gonna get me Mum to make this the proper English way with the mushy peas ,chips and all
We'll have to check out Fresh vs. Frozen prices for Cod at Costco Mushy peas makes the dish apparently depending on freshness of the peas It's called Yorkshire caviar due its popularity
Enjoy! But I promise coleslaw is better.
