In fact a handful of wine gums could count as many different fruits depending on the colours

We are apparently a not very randomly selected group of people who are slightly enamoured with a British culinary staple. Weird that.... |

Good grief, you take everything way too seriously.
Eat whatever you want, but I know for a fact I won't be sitting on my death bed going "Oh I wish I ate fewer steaks ..." My family from UK came over years ago, professing not to like fish (other than 'fish n chips'). I served up a bunch of tuna steaks from the grill and they were amazed. |

I don't know if you've tried it, but one thing I would encourage you to try as a steak lover is a tuna steak on the grill. Forget about rare, seared, etc ... just grill it as you would a steak, and I think you will find that it is very close in taste/texture to a high quality beef steak. While I can take Tuna raw and seared, I love it 'medium rare' on the grill.

Fish and chips, in the traditional style is still my favourite way to eat fish, irrespective of how sarcastically I might exhibit my subjectivity. |

[QUOTE=Pulaski;11448165]
Which corner of the north would that be? Because in both my specific experience and general understanding is that Haddock is the "standard fish" in F'n'C in Yorkshire, All the chippies I ever went in within maybe a 40-50 mile radius of home, Cod was/is standard, Haddock was/is available, but normally a special order. Actually, maybe a bigger radius than that, as it was always cod in the chippies in Bradford too.... and I'm from about as far south as it's possible to be while still being a northerner. :confused: |
Re: Fish!
The UK’s favorite fish is still Cod and accounts for 61.5% of total consumption. Although the North Sea cod stocks issue is a serious problem, Cod landed in the UK is caught within strict management regimes and quota systems setting safe limits for catches agreed by fishermen, scientists and government. Cod caught within these agreed limits is safe for consumers to eat.
Haddock at 25% is the second favorite and regional variations include whiting in Northern Ireland and some parts of Scotland, skate and huss in the south of England. The History of Fish and Chips in Britain |

Re: Fish!
So, generally fish is minging.
It's cod and chips that's proper. I can do, say sea bass & chorizo, something like that. Apparently I do a damned good fish and chips as well as lobster thermidor. Steak (black and blue) rules. I struggle with the concept of the North extending further south than York. Have I missed anything? |
