At least 'foreign' cuisine has some value added to it during the preparation and cooking process. We just dip shit in batter and lob it in a fryer. Awful. Nah it's fucking brilliant. I didn't realise how much I love British food until I moved away. Foreign muck's alright too though.

Hopefully it spells the end of this bland, unhealthy and stodgy British meal. Thank God for globalisation for bringing spices and flavour into our diet! Nostalgia makes me buy it every now and then and I'm always left disappointed. At least 'foreign' cuisine has some value added to it during the preparation and cooking process. We just dip shit in batter and lob it in a fryer. Awful. I don't agree with you regarding a lovely portion of fish and chips but I agree with you regarding multiculturalism bringing a whole new world of wonderful dishes into our cuisine. When I was a kid during and just after the war, we couldn't even get the traditional Sunday roast and had to make do with mostly offal meats. Some people ate beef and the like but it was usually black market meat stolen from the armed forces and bought under the counter from the butchers and provided by many hauliers who founded their successful businesses after the war on that theft. OS.

So two pages into a thread about the price of fish "'n'" chips we're on badger biryani. It's topic association gone mad! "Masterchef - the Potteressionals" anyone?

At least that way the meat would mean something and the hide could be used as well. Instead, the population just ramps up until a threshold for highway deaths is reached and the inevitable cull takes place.

OS. Was it the early 60s that saw chicken replace rabbit as one of the mainstays of the time or did I make that up in my head? 🤔 Robbie, rabbit was part of our staple diet until myxomatosis struck the UK rabbit population in the early 50's but fortunately, other meats were becoming affordable and plentiful by that time. My stepmother was a good cook and we survived the 40's on offal meats like liver, kidneys, oxtail, pig's head brawn, bone broth, chicken broth, fish broth made from inedible parts of the fish, cow's heart, pigeon pie, lobby, pig's trotters, chitlins, tripe, tickled trout we caught from local streams and rivers. We had a long back garden and grew a lot of our own vegetables. And we had our own chickens. Mam used to make chutneys from scrumped apples or crab apples and whatever gooseberries or stuff like that we kids could beg or pinch, and egg custards were plentiful. Apart from the hides and feathers, no parts of an animal or bird were wasted. One other thing. My mam used to make the most fantastic oatcakes I've ever tasted. We ate so much unsaturated fats back then that today they would hold their hands up in horror at what we had. And believe it or not, I never had a single day's illness when I was a kid or even until I reached my 50's. BUT ALWAYS ON A FRIDAYS WE HAD FISH, CHIPS AND MUSHY PEAS. Hence why I still love our traditional old English meal. LOL. M.

I can remember a shop near us as kids that had rabbits hanging in the window.
It was a butchers btw..not a random shop that just liked to sacrifice bunnies in public view. Rabbit stew can remember having Pheants as well

From the Mariner, Sequim, WA.....the cod comes from Alaska......the batter is very light. I occasionally starve myself all day and go for the All You Can Eat. These prices are pretty much double what they were 10 years ago.....biggest impact on fish price is fuel cost. The boats that chase fish are not fuel efficient.

It always weirds me out that, once you leave the boundaries of Stoke-on-Trent, it's impossible to find fish in breadcrumbs at a chippy. I never thought of it as a local delicacy.

I've gone right off Fish and Chips now that most of the chippies have changed their oils. I'll only really have Shaws in Newcastle now as they use Beef dripping and a trip to the Black Country Museum is always a treat, as they also serve theirs like this.
For me they just don't taste the same at the same time as huge price increases which is off putting for me.
If I have chips I'll generally cook my own at home but fresh fish is just generally expensive whether you buy it yourself or out and about.
I blame the Icelanders. 😉😁
