Today, I do only this amount of writing... I thought this information about the origin of 'fast food' in the modern sense was really rather well done and quite fun... I've made it as big as I can, now I hope you can biggify to read it for yourselves!
The history of fast food! Wow! I have been enjoying your adventure in the Grey! Wowzers! Makes me want to get out and do some travelling. And I love the viaduct! What a stupendous piece of architecture, as is the old station and the pub in your last post. And Marv wants to thank you for your wishes! He sure loves his summers here! Take care and safe travels - Barbie (and Marvelous Marv)

That's interesting. Wonder how it all began in India.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI had the fish and chips a few times while we were touring Ireland, a yummy meal. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend!
Good fish and chips are one of the world’s great gourmet treats, and if they can be had with the right sloppy peas then one is transported to realms of majesty and delight. Sadly, more often the fish is effectively a pound of batter, the chips soggy and the peas second rate. At least that is the case here. But I have to say, that in both Wales and England, I have been thrilled with fish and chips. At one place they were served with bread and butter called doorstops. Looked like half a loaf with half a pound of butter. I passed on that!

DeleteI take it you never got around to trying out a chip butty, then, David?! Yeah, British diet always did lean to the carb-heavy... Yxx
I had no idea fish and chips went back that far. I did read all of it and what a story. I have no idea what chips are like, we don't have fish and chips here, i have never had them. i was raised on fried fish and potatoes fried, baked, boiled, mashed. so maybe i have had them. bob says his family boiled potatoes, then sliced them and put them with onions in a fry pan and called them hash brown potatoes.
ReplyDeletejust looked up photos of Englands fish and chips and we do have it, just call it fish and fries. french fries, not English fries. ha ha
DeleteLove fish and chips! We had Arthur Treachers here and it was pretty good!

Fish and Chips are one of my favorite "eat out" foods....not sure about the whole mushy peas thing LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting history lesson. We imagine this probably played out in a similar fashion on the coasts of this country too.
ReplyDeleteNow that was a fun read. Fish and chips are one of my faves when we go to al local restaurant that specializes in marine fare. namaste, janice xx
