Read all about it and two things immediately stand
out:-
1)'Sustainability' was a vital part of the
judging. Now I'm not going to write against that as a concept - far from it -
but how can that be part of your assessment criteria?
Quality of the meal is the most vital
issue.
2) Judging by their photo - the fish and chips have
been cooked in some sort of vegetable oil. THAT WILL NOT DO AT
ALL!
If chips, and fish in particular, are not cooked in
beef dripping - there is little point in eating them. Below is what fish and chips SHOULD look like.
Fish must NEVER be golden yellow but always golden
brown.
We have fish shops in Sheffield cooking
in the traditional way making a fortune because of the quality of their
product.
Near our house, we have a fish and chip shop
which must only be keeping going because it does an above average kebab and
moderate chips.
It has changed owners at least four
times during its short life and there are never queues.
Were it to cook in beef dripping, there
would be lengthy queues. But there aren't. People around here want the real
article - or nothing.
