      The zip on tent is called an awning and it gives you extra space when you are staying in a caravan (it's not actually zipped on BTW). The caravan you saw is a touring caravan and is towed by another vehicle (usually a car). A static caravan is what you call a trailer and we call an RV a motorhome.

  • @Thomes-Maisling

    • @neilgrundy
      @neilgrundy 7 лет назад +31

      Yep, my local one is like that. Two fish and one portion of chips will do the job for two people. I asked the owner about it and his philosophy was that it's only a spud and costs him next to nothing. Large portions means people come back and the profit is on everything else. Massive profit on gravy and peas.

    The fish is cooked in batter made with beer! This makes it quickly form a light airtight crust around the fish, which therefore never even touches the cooking oil or fat. The steam you see on opening the result shows how the fish has basically been poached. Nothing could be better. I'm hungry.

    Glad you liked it. There are real chippys in every town / main street in the UK, not just the coast by the way. You can only get 'real' fish and chips from a chippy, u will never get it the same at a pub or cafe or anywhere else, has to be a chippy, and they are everywhere. some better than others granted, but the taste is the same style. Oh, and you missed out on mushy peas!!!!!! Another point of interest is that i can confirm that having spent some time in New Zealand, their fish n chips is identical to the UK and just as popular, they took that over from us, also in Australia its exactly the same and very popular. I couldn't live without fish n chips, its a heavy meal sure, but boy is it satisfying!

    Hi guys. I moved away from Mevagissey, Cornwall more than 30 years ago and your video of the area has brought back many memories, especially fish and chips and Cornish pasties. I do remember Mr Kelly very well as he gave a lot of casual employment to the local people in the summer season. Thanks for the memory.

    I just love the reactions. As stated below, you really should've tried a real cornish pasty too.
    Fun fact: The design of the pasty, with the crust at the edge, was so the tin miners could hold the crust and eat the pasty, then throw the crust. ;)

    The Endless Adventure. You seem like nice people, I hope Britain treated you well on your stay, you are always welcome.
    I'm afraid the weather is unpredictable, but it's what makes our country green and great too, we are rarely short of fresh water! It's also the number one talking point and conversation ice breaker! In my opinion there is nowhere better than a warm English summer morning in July, or sitting in a pub in front of roaring log fire in the winter, so you get the full extremes. Now onto the food!
    Looks like you went to a good place for fish and chips, Mevagissey in Cornwall. Quality varies from chippy to chippy but yours looked so fresh and tasty I want to try it myself from this place! But if you do it again may I offers some tips? Like skip breakfast and wait till you're really hungry, it tastes even better then and you can eat it all. We hate waste you see.
    Fish and chips is one of the top dishes of the world (even famous chefs and critics will agree), and no harm in dressing it up a bit! So...
    Great on it's own with salt and vinegar eaten with fingers, but awesome with mushy peas, curry sauce, bread and butter, lashings of hot tea. Of course you can eat it this way with a knife and fork (no rules) but remember always go to a traditional chip shop, it's simply never the same in a posh restaurant. This is basically British street food and we love it that way. Now for pudding!
    Cornish ice cream comes no better than what you tried so you had the best. How do I know? Long ago I once worked for Mr Kelly. He used the best Cornish milk and cream from Cornwall's lush wet green pastures. He was Italian.
    Need I say more?

    I was lucky to travel to London, England and Edinburgh, Scotland in 1992 - while in Edinburgh I ate lunch two days in a row at The Clam Shell just down the street from St. Giles - the fish and chips were to die for - I thought I'd died and gone to heaven - VERY generous portions - and I was reminded by two elderly Scottish gents that the Scots use Haddock (which I love) and the English use Cod for their fish - the malt vinegar sauce is delicious - I have an empty bottle of Gold Star brown sauce that was a souvenior - love the memories - wish I had not waited so long to see both places.

    That ice-cream flavour is pronounced EE-ton mess. Eton is a famous and elite school, the kind of place where David Cameron the previous Prime-Minister went.

    RE: Your question about zip on RV tents. Those aren't RVs, we call them Caravans. Because our caravans are hooked up to a car, and often smaller than one of your large RVs, it allows us to have an extra bit of room so a family aren't climbing all over eachother. They also provide fresh air without the risk of getting soaked.
    I think if our Caravans were the size of your RVs, we would only have awnings rather than space maximising tents. But then, anyone who has a caravan needs to have their head examined, but that's a different topic for another day.

    Lol. It was great to see you having fun and showing a bit of the good old Stiff Upper Lip with the rain. Next time try rock pooling or come across to my part of Dorset to fossil find on Mudeford beach.
