      With the original recipe, it would have been classified as a biscuit because it went soft. However since there was an element of chocolate it would be considered a chocolate biscuit, which is a luxury item and would be subject to tax. So they altered the recipe so that it would count as a cake instead

    In Scottish chip shops you will usually have to fish options battered or special. Special is breaded fish.battered sausage tends to be a normal sausage in better. The plain one is usually a smoked sausage and not a normal sausage. Also in Scottish chip shops you usually have battered hamburgers, battered ribsteak, battered Black pudding or haggis, battered and fried pizza, known as a Pizza crunch and deep fried pizza come to glasgow and try them all.

Allergies usually stem from the fact that his body Rejects the potatoes completely which means he could get hives and his throat could close up. So I'm not sure but that's what I am really thinking. I don't think he's allergic just intolerant.

    The problem with Fish and Chips is the quality varies so wildly. Some places you can go (that people even recommend), and it's just a greasy mess of nothing that will get you on the toilet within minutes of eating it as it just slides it's way straight back out again from all the grease. Whereas sometimes it's just absolutely perfect and hits the spot. Sadly most of the time it's just a greasy mess.

    I think this is the first time I realized that the fish and chips had vinegar (I knew they had salt). I guess when I've eaten them I've just had maybe one or two chips and thought I didn't like the soggy texture. I never realized they were possibly soaked in vinegar. I love vinegar and salt potato chips. So very very different. Loved the content. LOVED seeing Luke in the studio. He's a good middle man.

      Well, I think a lot of it is that he seems to have little sense of taste (and I do mean that more literally than usual, I imagine his sense of taste is below average most likely). Liking fish and chips is fine, but the guy really likes having tons of salt and grease. Those are two qualities often associated with something being on the 'crappy' end of the spectrum.
      I mean, I wonder if he's even met a proper non-breakfast type of sausage? I see where Josh was coming from with the sausage looking like a breakfast sausage (albeit a bit outsize). It just seems to have an even and bland appearance inside it.
      Also, for all that he's supposed to be the expert in fish and chips (which I guess he is, compared to Josh and Ollie who rarely get it), he did say he only gets it a couple times a month or thereabouts. They did play him being an 'expert' a bit silly, so I'm sure they were aware he isn't close to being an expert though.
      Not trying to crap on the dood mind, he can like what he likes of course. But I would just say that he's probably not someone to consult when you want to know a good place for fish and chips.

    I was born and raised in Sweden but I lived in the UK for about 4 years in Wallasey just south of Liverpool and when ever I had chips in our local chippy I would always have to say No vinegar even though I was sort of a regular customer they always gave me this look of confusion and sometimes even of disappointment 😂 I never got the whole thing that the Brits had with vinegar. That being said I do miss the curry sauce they had. Never come across anything similar in Sweden. I have also tried Battered Haggis when I went to Scotland, which was weird, and I kind of miss that to 😊 I regret that I never tried a Battered Mars Bar, which they apparently do in the Northern chip shops but I only found that out after I had left the UK.

    The sogginess isn't from already added vinegar, it's all the steam from inside the hot chips. You basically can't ever get wrapped chips home from a chippy without them going soggy unless you get them double fried, or maybe try airing them out/cooling them a bit before they're wrapped.
    Try ordering chips fresh and then just watching the steam or holding a paper towel over them. They evacuate a crazy amount of moisture. If they're open to the air it can escape and they become crispier but obviously trapped in a bag they just make everything around them soggy.

      Yeah agree, a very good fish and chips done well is great, but hard to come by.
      The chips shouldn’t be soggy, they should be crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, preferably fried in beef dripping and covered in onion vinegar (I.e. the vinegar that comes out of the pickled onion jars) and good quality salt.
      Also a chip butty can be great (if a little plain but that’s where the onion vinegar comes in) in a freshly baked flakey crusty roll that’s soft and fluffy in the middle and has tonnes of butter on it (weirdly the butter doesn’t have to be good quality though! But maybe that’s a nostalgia thing for me.
      The most alarming hit is how did they end up not getting a bunch of gherkins if they ordered the entire menu!
      And they could’ve had a couple of pies as well. Occasionally you can get a pretty decent cheese and onion pasty in a fish and chip shop too.

      Honestly the best fish (that is not self caught) you will ever have will be freshly caught cheap deep fried white line fish from a good fish and chips take away at a seashore near a fish market. Properly done the fish meat is still moist, none of the oil gets into the fish meat and cooked fast preserving the natural flavour. Fancy restaurants the fish has been in a fridge for at least a day or more, it looses firmness and gets the "fishy" flavour that is covered a boatload of butter and sauce.

    Wow it looks like something we have in Belgium. But less fish, more other kinds of meat. We call it 'frituur' in Dutch, not sure what it is in English. Literally translated it is 'frying pan'. It is a place where you can buy chips or french fries with different kinds of snacks.

      Tbh Belgian fries are the REAL DEAL. They're the absolute best I've ever tried. And the insane variety of high quality sauces to go with... Y'all really know how it's done! 👏🏼

      Maybe you're not old enough to remember. I grew up in Hull and every chippy used to have both Haddock and Cod on the menu...and sometimes Plaice and Halibut. That was when there was a 400+ trawler fleet working out of Hull and Grimsby. When the fishing industry all went to pot in the late 70s/early 80s...the ONLY fish that was actually on the menu was Haddock...and sometimes they'd have Cod to order. That's changed a bit more in recent years with more having cod again...but that was a divide for a long time...haddock up north and southerners still got the cod.
