    They are good, but they were better when served hot in newspapers. I think the printer's ink must have added something to the flavor. Or perhaps it just seemed more exotic to me, and American, because we didn't sell our food that way.

      @milascave2 ... I'm British, and yes they were better when they were wrapped in old newspapers. Not only that, they were also fried in dripping then and not oil, some rules changed I think years ago, but not sure really. I've heard that nowadays, some chippies fry chips in dripping, though I haven't yet tried any myself to see what they're like. Nowadays chip shop chips are mostly pale and anaemic looking whereas years ago they were a lovely golden brown colour, which they should be.

    I've never liked vinegar on fish n chips - it makes the batter and chips soggy. Fish n chips have been extremely popular in Australia, probably from the time of the first Colonial potato crop. It helps that we have excellent fish varieties readily available.

    It’s not a Jewish invention, it was brought by the Sephardic Jews from Iberian Spain and Portugal and the battering was exported early on by the Portuguese to whole world including Japan with the famous tempura.

    There's something fishy about this story. You're saying that Fish and Chips where brought to England by Spanish Jews a little over a century ago. England is an Island, and they never fried fish before this. Potatoes are from Peru in the Americas, and it took 400 yrs for fried potatoes to get to England. And the Brits did not combine fish and chips until the late 18oos. I can't swallow this fishy tale. I don't believe it. 🐠

    • @KrasMazovHatesYourGuts
      @KrasMazovHatesYourGuts Рік тому +5

      You've got it wrong: The battered and fried fish was brought by the Spanish Jews. The chips, however, only came about after the Columbian era as potatoes are a new world food. The British DID fry fish, but not with the batter.
