Malt vinegar, no ketchup and no skin on the cod. Looks like Friday will be a Cracker Barrel Fish and Chips night.

Those chips have skins on. :eek: No self respecting English chippy would leave the skins on. (Although I do like the skins);)

Ahem.
He's Scottish.

And we had a lovely chat with another customer who waxed poetic about the Yorkshire Dales, where he has people, so there I was feeling all warm and fuzzy about you. :sneaky:
DH says it's the real deal, skins or no.

Yes it would tell the old man I am not happy :frown:

We had a London Fish and Chips open a few weeks back, not been there yet, I already know what it will be like :rolleyes:

Yeah, we've got one right around the corner & the guy's from just around the corner from where DH lived. He fries in dripping & everything but it's just not That Good.

These ones are to die for. I'm sure he'll take you there next time you are in town (it's a little bit grotty but that's part of the charm, right?)

Hmm... that's what I thought. And they don't quite look greasy enough.
