Now just a minute, Wizzy. Fried fish I'll give you, but are you Sephardis trying to take the credit for chips as well?
They're French, surely?
Belgian, I thought, but my real point (though I accept I didn't make it clear) was that we have a legit claim to have been the first to put the two together.
Is he trying to snap his leg? Salah's obviously grinding his teeth in pain and look at the smirk on that psycho Doc!?It seems like an age since we had one of these pics:
Note they keep their cozzies on now it's not Dr Iqbal!
An undercover Southampton medic I take it?
"You tap, we snap.."
Nope, I have no clue who started with frying potatoes, but God bless them whoever they are!
That may be - I honestly don't know.
Hahahah I think I can see Pete in the window.
I'm pretty sure it's the Belgians. They double fry the 'frites' in beef fat.
I only know this cos there's load of those 'EU health & safety gone mad' bollocks stories the likes of the daily mail love (you know, straight bananas etc) about them at the moment cos the EU have made recommendations that food shouldn't be double fried as it builds up a carcinogenic chemicals.
It was Friar Tuck, everyone knows that!
Unfortunately Chinese restaurants over here (similarly to Indian restaurants) don't tend to serve authentic Chinese food, rather English analogues based upon Chinese dishes.
I will do some digging online & try to find a Szechuan or Hunan restaurant though, could be a good option to suggest to bex family when they inevitably suggest a Chinese meal at some point.
I'm not sure "unfortunate" is the right word. Lots of "authentic" Chinese food uses the most dreadful offcuts and vile parts of the animal. Like many starvation cuisines.
Intense spice and flavourings are often part of a food culture that needs to disguise what you're actually eating.
Belgian fries doesn't have the same ring to it.
I say unfortunately based upon my indian restaurant experience.
When working at Littlewoods our Indian suppliers would always take us to the maharaja restaurant on London Road for genuine South Indian food & it was fucking amazing compared to the English styled Indian dishes.
I assumed the same would be true of Chinese food in our Chinese restaurants.
Singlerider (I think) talked on here once about an elderly Chinese relative who liked to eat baby mice dipped in something (honey maybe). That's authentic Chinese cuisine right there.
The French perhaps.. I mean.. after all, it would be the obvious guess.
Sadly this is true. However luckily in the UK intestines and other offal are not offered as standard Chinese cuisine, 'proper' meat having been subsituted.
In Guangdong province rats are still a favourite .. at one time they were eating too many of them and other pests grew out of control and started destroying crops. Not sure how they solved that, imported them from other non-rat eating provinces perhaps !

A rat shortage. Due to humans eating them.
That's......quite something.

I'd try some of those restaurant apps (or Tripadvisor) and try to find a restauarant serving authentic Chinese food close to you. Note they do like to cook 'on the bone' so you may find your chicken chopped and cooked with bone inside the meat, though maybe to cater to UK tastes they'll have deboned it.
La Zhi Ji (lar zzzz gee) is great. Small battered chicken pieces cooked with a multitude of chillies, however not as spicy as it looks, just right.
I used to eat at a place called Belgian Fries in Vancouver. They served Poutine and various 'dressed' fries.
No need for foodbanks when you think of the rich resources to which our proletariat are turning their noses up.
Indeed ; frogs, crickets, cockroaches .. all sorts of, free, protein rich foods running, hopping and flying around under their very noses.
I tried a Buffalo Worm at the youngest nursery a while back (they had 'earth week' and the Kitchen supplied the goods) and it tasted exactly like Pork Chops only better.. the umami was real in that gross looking thing.
It also contained a staggering 33% protein. Nutritious AND delicious.
Needless to say, I am in now the eat-worm camp (probably been there since I ate an earthworm when I was around 2-years-old mind).
