Find a good chippie and you'll know the difference. I used to hate mushy peas but now love it with fish n chips... as well as having lots of salt n vinegar plus the tartare sauce - mmm, I'm hungry!!!
Also love indian food, usually get at least one take away from a decent one local to me, they know me now so always give me extras... most "Indians" are run by Bangladeshis. Again, I wouldn't trust some in the heart of London... some real health scares there *yikes!*

Yep... funny you should say that... most chip shops are not English owned, and most of them will serve fried chicken, sausages, pies and kebabs. Finding a good kebab house is a challenge also.. I think the best ones are Turkish owned there.
This isn't a racist rant, but I prefer eating ethnic foods from the 'experts'.
Case in point, the other day I went to a Vietnamese restaurant with some friends who all promptly ordered from the 'chinese' section of the menu. I stuck with the Vietnamese food. All their food was pretty crap to be honest but my dish was amazing and they all regretted what they ordered. I told them you wanted chinese you should have went to a chinese place.
Oh btw... fish and chips.... it's great in the Black Country. ;)
