1. You can have mine.

Not a fan of fried foods anymore.

And everyone knows that malt vinegar is the only correct topping for fish and chips! LOL

[UTUSN]

2. "malt vinegar"?!1 I'm non-plussed. Or flommoxed or something n/t

[trof]

15. A splash of malt vinegar on the fish is traditional.

Tartar sauce is for gulf seafood down here.

4. Yes and the fish and chips must be wrapped in a page from The News of the World

Libation: Ginger beer

5. Is Ginger beer red or made out of ginger?

[sarge43]

6. Ginger

It was extreme Vernors Ginger Ale. Had to slam your fist on the table to get it down and produced a belch that could be heard in Yorkshire. Good stuff.

19. i like vinegar on fish & chips ~

but prefer generous squeezes of fresh lemon. it helps cut the fat and lemon makes the fish delicious. a southern california thing, perhaps.

3. I was really going to order fish and chips tonight,

because I had to unexpectantly work all day, but then I got to the place at 6:10 and they were closed. WTF... fish and chip place closes at six!?!1 I don't care if its a Sunday. So instead I got 8 montezuma-burritos from Taco Shack. That'll be breakfast tomorrow too.

7. Cow chips?

8. Oh, man, that sounds so good!

Nowhere to get fish & chips in Southern Maryland except Long John Silver's and Red Lobster. And I'm not going to either of those places for fish & chips.

So how about a nice evol frozen chicken enchilada bake? That'll do. http://evolfoods.com/meals/classics/

I'll get fish & chips on my trip home next month, when I can get it from H. Salt.

Edit: it's "bake," not "bowl."

11. Check around at your local bars, VFW etc. It's Lent and a lot of places are doing it

even if it's not a regular item on the menu.

14. Great idea -- thanks!

9. Crab meat lo mein for me.

It's on the way. I order from this place fairly frequently. The cheery delivery guy cracks me up. "You order Chinese food?"

[trof]

16. Tell him "No! I ordered pizza!"

10. I'll vote for fish and chips.

I think in England they call potato chips "crisps" and "chips" are what we call fries.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong. I have never been to England and only learned British slang from listening to Who records (yeah I'm old).

[riderinthestorm]

12. You're right! Nt

[trof]

17. True.

My closest friends are Brits.
I am fairly fluent in Brit.
Torches and lifts and loos and boots and bonnets and offside wings.*

*Translation: Flashlight, elevator, bathroom, car trunk, car hood, front left fender.
The 'near side wing' would be the right one.
Brit cars have the steering wheel on the right side, hence 'near side' and 'off side'.

13. Yuck.

Fish

18. I lurves me some fish 'n' chips!

[pinboy3niner]

20. Fried in bacon drippings!

But served with cocktail sauce instead of (yuck!) tartar sauce.

Though I loves me some Tardar Sauce!
