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.
In America they call chips "freedom fries" now, eh?
We Canadians call potato chips "chips" though, the Brits call them "crisps"? We also call French fries "chips" too though, or "fries".
Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone refer to them as freedom fries, except maybe Trump didn’t he come up with that? I’d much more expect to get a weird look if I tried to order some freedom fries somewhere. Not that I hear the “French” much either. They are just fries.
