Fish and Chips.

I am getting totally fed up with the number of chippies which cook in oil. Traditional fish and chips are cooked in beef dripping. The difference in taste is immeasurable.

I travel miles to find those shops which produce golden-brown tastiness as opposed to limp, lacklustre yellowish batter which is usually soggy on the inside.

A new shop opened within easy walking distance of our house last week. I got excited - then last Wednesday the moment of truth. Sadly - oil.

The shop has just replaced several others in the same location which have failed. Well, the others lost me immediately as a potential customer - this one has too.

Recent scientific conclusions on health rather suggest that dripping versus oil is no win to the latter!
