Now I don't for sure, mancunian s, whether the chips are still fried in fat or not. But after all this horse meat scandal in lasagne, they could be fried in mule fat for all I know. I do KNOW that Harry Ramsden's is one of the best fish and chips meals I ever ate.

I also (as a northerner, forgive me!) don't understand the southern liking for chips with mayonaisse or just dry and plain. Curry sauce, hot beef gravy, or mushy peas, these are all necessary condiments in my view, even some brown sauce or ketchup, although personally I prefer the curry sauce or gravy and the mushy peas.

Unless anyone from the south of england can correct me, what are chips commonly served with?:-)
