I am a fan of cod and chips. I have to say that our cod supper from here (that's how we north Irish refer to fish & chips regardless of the time of day) was truly great and also good value at £7.25. Their delicious cod was steaming hot, fresh and pure white with a remarkably light, crisp, thin batter. The chips too were perfectly cooked. All we needed was salt and we declined the wedge of lemon offered. It's a quirky take - away place and it's menu illustrates why I have a fondness for the ordinary British subject (they aren't citizens). I mean who else will serve you deep fried battered cod, haddock, scampi, saveloys, battered pork sausages, chips, along with battered deep fried, Cadbury 'chocolate' creme eggs (£1.5 each) with vinegary pickled eggs, pickled gherkins and pickled onions as well as offering vinegar, tomato ketchup, gin cocktails and Asahi Japanese beer? At least there's a slice of lemon for the gin cocktail (even the Japanese beer would benefit from a lemon slice. Who knew eh? Sherry is the best alcohol for great fish and chips but it's nowhere to be seen here. Fish and chips was the only food not rationed by the British during world war 2 - Prime Minister Churchill - a great leader in the face of hell - called them good companions and determined them a meal so valuable to British National morale they could never be rationed. And they are now back to a full blown war time economy in the 21st century with rampant inflation and recession. The British voted to make themselves poorer and left Europe. It's an odd situation as the very rich and the poorest both voted leave, with the former as always acting out of insatiable greed and the latter as always from sheer poverty based desperation. The former will be still further enriched while the poorest will begin to realise they've been misled and shafted by a mendacious political party and a disgraced prime minister who indecently lies as easily as he breathes and who quotes Arnie Schwarzenegger hasta la vista not Churchill on leaving office in disgrace - but I say good riddance. But British woes will continue as his two potential replacements are far down the scale of mediocrity and the damage caused by him and his disgraceful like is immense. I suspect even fish and chips will soon be beyond the reach of many of those who voted leave and one day reality may start to replace political spin. read more
