A Tasty Treat

Something that I happen to enjoy eating is that particular British dish: fish and chips. Even though we call the Belgian invention fries rather than chips, we still call the British meal fish and chips. For the uninformed, the chips are made and served in the conventional fashion, and the fish is served battered and breaded. Purists will have their fish and chips served on newspaper.

My first encounter with the dish was at a Phoenix-area chain known as Pete's Fish and Chips. More recently, I've had it here in LA at H. Salt Fish and Chips, as well as Denny's and Jack In The Box(!). Surprisingly, fish and chips cannot be counted on regardless of where it's obtained. It must be well handled to be delicious. Have it, and enjoy it, unless you call yourself a vegetarian. Animal muscle tissue is animal muscle tissue, and I don't cotton to half-hearted vegetarians.
