Fish and chips

[Llantony]

We can now get real fish and chips once a week in our area. I wonder how popular it will be?

[NormanH]

I have always been able to get real fish in France.

Whether chips are the best accompaniment is surely just matter of taste..

[LEO]

Very popular if;

The fish is not overcooked and the chips are not the frozen variety.

PS.

If the proprietors were really switched on they could add Vimto/Dandelion & Burdock,

To their repertoire

I was in the UK a few weeks ago and some friends took us to a  "Georges" fish and chip restaurant ..........it was the best I had ever tasted. [:P]

It's actually very good: chips they make themselves, not frozen, nice cod. Also Pukka pies, sausages, mushy peas (yuk!), pickled onions, cheeseburgers and canned drinks. I'll suggest Vimto!

I know one can get fish in France! But sometimes it's good to have British style takeaway fishnchips for a treat. It should go well at the Marche Gourmand as the food last year was poor quality and not cheap e.g. chicken and nasty 'chips' 10 euros. Most people, especially the French, left it. I know as I helped to clear up.

Whats with the mushy peas yuk ? .......I love em .[:D]

I wonder if it is a northern thing , I am from Manchester , where are you from ?

[Gardengirl]

I'm from the real north, andd I hate mushy peas, always have! Must be a southerner at heart! [:D]

Oddly enough, I was talking about mushy peas to someone yesterday (who hates them almost as much as I do).  We came to the conclusion that they are probably one of those things you need to be fed from an early age to truly appreciate (like Marmite - yum, and liver - yuKK!!!).[:D]

[Gardengirl]

I was fed mushy peas from an early age, and food wasn't something you refused, however awful! Marmite - yuk! Liver - ditto! [:D]

[buelligan]

Oh GG, I'm shocked![:D]  How could any right-thinking soul reject Marmite![8-)]  How'd you feel about tinned Baked Beanz (with and without sausages)?   Or tinned sardines on toast?[+o(]

[Gardengirl]

Baked beans without sausages, fine; sardines anywhere but in the sea - yuk! [:D]

Marmite is the **********of the devil, its the uneducated substitute for BOVRIL.

Beanz meanz Heinz........no substitutes accepted.

Sardines [+o(]

Liver, Italian style....food of the Gods

Hello

Where is your 'area' - south west France covers a lot of ground?  I would definitely buy British-style fish 'n' chips on a regular basis if I could!!

Thanks.

One of the pleasures of a visit to family in Bournemouth is the obligatory visit to "Ches Fred" in Westbourne. Definately a treat,lovely big chips, the best cuts of a variety of fish,home made salmon fish cakes .mushy peas and tartar sauce a must. As 2 family members are involved I might be a little biased but from the amount of Celebrities/Politicians and return trade ,I can't be the only one who thinks they are the best. Only one problem, as a friendly group who go there, we take it in turns to pay,my turn next!!!

Have tried many times to get them to open up in St.Malo,even offered to peel the spuds but no progress so far.

Regards.

Regards.

Vegemite is just gross - give me Marmite every time.

Mr RH like Mushy peas, his mother used to buy them in boxes, in a net, with a tablet, they had to be soaked overnight [:(][:(]

[Théière]

Who said anything about the Vegemite [:-))][:P]

[Russethouse]

ooooh aaaahh [Www][Www]

[buelligan]

Mmmm.  I agree Teeps, Vegemite is marvellous stuff!  But it's rarer here than Marmite and so, for me, has become almost legendary.. the stuff of fantasy (as I can see it has for you - though possibly for other reasons!).[:D]

Gastines, if you really can get access to the food of celebs and politicians, do us all a favour next time you're there![:D][;-)]

[Llantony]

We are in Quercy and for the moment the fish and chips are available once a week 6-9pm in Lauzerte, Montaigu de Quercy and Montcuq on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

I think you have to be brought up on Marmite to appreciate it - I wasn't. But pickeled eggs....
