Chip chip cheerio3/31/2023 ![]() ![]() These are actually marrowfat peas, so these are larger peas. So, these probably are slightly different to the peas you're used to eating. Joe: No, but mushy peas aren't really a thing in the United States, though. You said you're not a peas guy in general. This is what is difficult about doing this work is, like, I could kill this. The fish, I mean, the cod is cooked perfectly. But you're saying you quite like the meat in that. That's maybe my favorite part of the fish and chips. This is fantastic! See, I love the crispy batter. Harry: Are you a convert now? The meatier, that was really good. Harry: Yeah? Before, I was like, "Oh, I like how this has the more crispy stuff." Harry: Yeah, we've gotta swap some fish here. This, though, this fish, I could easily eat this on its own without the tartar sauce. And I think the crispy-outside-to-fish ratio for this specifically is really good. Joe: But I'm responding probably the most favorably to the crispiness. I personally wouldn't, but it's personal preference. ![]() In the jar seems like it'd be harder to put it on there. I feel like in America they just dump it on there and you dip it or whatever. Joe: Also their own little carrying case for the tartar sauce. Harry: Are you going to be tempted by any vinegar? So you put it on the fish and the chips? You might see it more used on the chips rather than the fish. I will say, just more of a UK thing, gotta salt it, guys. Is that, so, you'd say spiffing for what? Harry: I mean, I wouldn't say spiffing. What the f- does that mean? He said spiffing. Too early to get a beer? Yes, categorically. Harry: It's an egg that you boil and then put in vinegar. Joe: Nope, we're not in Rome, we're in London, and I'm not eating pickled anything. And I also, over there, a jar of pickled eggs has caught my eye. Harry: OK, well this is going to be fun then. Harry: Have you had mushy peas before? Joe: No, I hate peas. Harry: I feel like we've gotta go for the traditional side, which is the mushy peas. Sole? Well, apparently filet is "fil-ette," so I don't know how you guys are pronouncing anything. Joe: Yo, I'm seeing skate, I'm seeing rock, I'm seeing sol-ay, or sole. I think haddock's a little bit more popular up north, but it's really up to you. I grew up in the south, where we tend to go for cod. Haddock I think is kind of a flatter fish, in general, so it ends up being a bit more crispy when you eat it. What's the difference? Harry: Cod tends to be a little bit meatier. Joe: So, I'm seeing on this menu you got cod or haddock. Joe: Yeah, I noticed on the menu, "National Fish and Chips Awards winner." Harry: There you go. They've got a few locations scattered around London, so it is kind of like a chain, but also very highly reviewed. ![]() This is "Food Tours." Our first stop of the day: Poppies. We'll be visiting the tourist favorite, the best-rated fish-and-chip spot, the expert's pick, and a wild card all in one day to see if we can find London's best fish and chips. I've invited my friend Joe Avella over from the US to teach him how we do things slightly differently over here. Harry: I'm a London local, and I think London has some of the best food in the world. ![]()
