….Fish & Chips (with mushy peas).

We’ve been on the road for most of the day having traversed through the Peak District heading north to Richmond (on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales). We decided to pull over in Ripon for an early tea and given it’s Friday night, what better than a serving of fish and chips with a side order of mushy peas. Our chosen chippy, the curiously named ‘Whitby Harbour’ (we’re at least fifty miles inland from Whitby), didn’t disappoint.

Fish and chips has been the nation’s favoured takeaway dish since the late Victorian era and has only lately been challenged for supremacy by Indian food. For the gourmets among you, why not read this short history of this humble dish.
