Tasty Island’s Beer Battered Pollock Fish ‘N Chips with tartar and cocktail sauce

[danlisa]

UK Definitions:

Chips = Potatoes cut thickly and cooked in oil. Usually found wrapped in newspaper accompanied by aquatic life (now deceased).

Fries = Potatoes (we think) cut thinly, fried to an inch of their life until breaking of teeth is ensured. Usually found in the hands of spotty adolescents after visiting MacDonalds.

Crisps = Things in Walker packets.

Cracker = Who cares, only grannies eat crackers and then complain about painful dentures.

/discussion.

All other definitions are mute.

To us a cookie is a type of biscuit, usually chocolate-chip. A cracker is a savoury-type of biscuit and a sweet-type of biscuit is just a biscuit (that also encompasses cookies!). Crackers are great with cheese, but one can also say cheese and biscuits and that means crackers. I wouldn't put gravy on a cookie, a cracker or the all encompassing biscuit.

Chips are square-cut wedges (chipped, some might say) of potato, fried. Crisps are very thin slices of potato fried until, get this, crispy! I'd put gravy on chips, but not on crisps, and even when on the chips it would have to be chips either on their own or with a meaty item such as pie. Never for fish!

By pie I mean a meat pie such as steak and kidney, or beef and onion, or chicken and mushroom, not apple, cherry or any other fruity pie. Nor do I mean pumpkin. Pumpkin! In a pie!


Consider yourself educated should you ever come to these shores

Edit: Sorry, I've spent that long typing this, and also doing some work in between, that Danlisa appears to have beaten me to it!

Edit #2: UK folks may also remember the furore that long-running children's television program Blue Peter caused after rigging a vote to name the show's new pussy. The popular vote was Cookie, but producers thought that was in common parlance for, well, a pussy - and so rigged the outcome so as to name it Sox!

They look like scones to me, I would cut in half and spread butter and a preserve on. Certainly wouldn't entertain chicken or gravy, or breakfast!

Edit: Blast you, danlisa, blast you for stealing my thunder, again!

Yeah, right

When he asks about a Biscuit, I'll let you answer that.

Mr. Gargamel, appears to be very fond of biscuit, so then it is best that we stick to it so no misunderstandings arise,
