Fish and Chips - The real thing
As a kid growing up in Englnd Fish and Chip shops were everywhere. But no chains, each was an independent mom and pop business.
You had two choices of fish: Cod or Place. Cod was the cheapest.
And all the stuff was fried in beef dripping - which is rendered beef fat. When the fryers were off the beef dripping cooled into a solid white block. So you needed to come in early to fire up the fryers.
Modern oils now make this uneccesary and are healthier. But my mother's family owned a fish and chip shop for many years and so she was a fan of beef dripping. She claimed real fish and chips needed it and she firmly resisted the switch to vegetable oils.
Even today, authentic fish and chip shops in England use beef dripping.
Tech Notes:
In England there are 8 fish and chip shops for every McDonald's. Fish and chips still rule.
