Never been in Cheddars - last time we tried that one at I-10 and Westgreen they told us the wait was 2.5 hours!! Err no thanks. Of course now the kids are desperate to go on the basis of if its that busy it must be good....

That sounds suspiciously like the sandwich I tried at Brannigans - man, how does he eat that?

IMO the only food that should be deep fat fried are chips...like proper chip shop chips.

The thought of other food deep fat fried...especially if it's battered 'cos it soaks up the grease makes me want to

Aslong as the frying temp is right, a lot of places don't fry hot enough or they use old fat and it just doesn't seal and cook like it should!

FISH! Right now that's all I would fry, in good batter, fish. Maybe a sausage!

Battered sausage is the way to go. I miss being able to get those, and curry chips from the local chippy

Surely you need a bit of fish to go with those FISH'n'chip shop chips?

Love them. When I go back to the UK and go to the chippy we've been going to for the last 30-odd years, the lady always give's me a battered sausage to eat while I'm waiting for our order. A sort of appetizer, on the house I guess.....

No wonder I always come back 10 pounds heavier.....

I was mildly addicted to them, and I only lived a 10 minute walk away from the chippy so nipping out for a quick fag soon became dinner too

My local did what was known as a "collop," which I figure was some kind of bastardization of scallop -- large slices of potato, battered, and deep fried. Similar to a "sandwich" -- big slices of potato with some fish in between, battered and fried -- but minus the fish. Very good. And I'll have scraps with mine, please!

I think a whole tater, deep fried and on a stick would be good.

Simple but effective! I don't think there's any way that can't be good . . .
