None of this twice/thrice French fried, drowned in mayonnaise, foreign bollocks for me.
Chips should be cut from King Edward potatoes, fried (once) in lard, liberally coated with salt and vinegar (only) and eaten with your fingers.

Real old school and they’d be eaten out of newspaper (proper yesterday’s newspaper, not sterile faux newspaper) the ink on your finger’s enhancing the flavour, and if you were fortunate enough to be eating them at the beach, a little sand on them for that added crunch.

You don’t know you’re born
When I was a nipper, we could take a bundle of newspapers to our favorite chip shop (there was 5 or 6 within a ten minute walk from our house) and the old couple who owned it (they were probably in their late thirties) would give us a bag of chips in return. Happy days.

It was that of an icon, a labor of love you could possibly call for some fish & chip shop owners, and there is plenty to be said and talked about on the food that would have given nutrition, subsidence, to it’s customer who would have carried their hot meal home, wrapped in yesterday’s newspaper.
I come from the north of the UK, actually Yorkshire, where at the time the largest industry was working cotton and wool mill's in the area, farming, coal mining.
The triangle of the famous veg/fruit apparently still exist, grown by only candle light that specialty of a pink color dessert ,love it or loath it, when I was a nipper has you refer to the young kid, the rawness had a bitter taste, has the pudding sat on the dinner table, now sweet in a covering of custard. Then again at the time the dish of desert was a little bit of our labors, and fun like collecting fruit in season, blackberry bushes would be most welcome. The dinner table may have seen hard times, Sunday dinner if lucky would be now served first with a flat Yorkshire pudding and gravy, the poor man’s pudding, (I still make them here in the land of Wonder), then the meat and vegetables would follow, but now being in a small amount to normal, because the idea was that flat pudding would fill you, recessional time’s you may have well called out, looking back the industry’s had hell of a knock! There’s trouble at the pit, never forget how the mounted police with battens would charge at their crowd of countryman. What of the mill’s, they were closing one by one (most apartment’s nowadays), the industry’s work would actually go to the countries of the thousands of immigrants who have worked in the mill’s here, getting there final wage packet, the, mostly Pakistani workers would now set up their own community’s in large areas. Time for restaurant’s and takeaway “curries” can’t be a bad thing.
Back to our humble fish & chip shop, it took some knocks, first the fishing industry. Cod, haddock, fishcakes and parsley cake’s, chips small and large, mushy peas gravy or the traditional curry sauce with the few currents to give it the little sweet taste, pickled onions, never seen them has big. Don’t forget the salt and vinegar before the final wrap of yesterday’s news.
