Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
You are in for a treat, then. BR you should explore lots of goodies made from corn. An internet search should provide many recipies for cornbread, hushpuppies, Jonny Cakes, fish batter (made from cornmeal, which is the preferred batter for catfish) and since you have a mill, you should try making your own grits.

I'm sure I've seen chips done in a dutchie on here somewhere, one of those I've been meaning to try but never got round to it.
That comparison is a bit like
"what does golden eagle taste like"?
Sort of a cross between Dodo and velociraptor.....

Hi Toddy,Our local chippie serves them in wee cardboard boxes
Some use the polystyrene trays but they're real litter makers.
Newspaper is only occasionally used now to outer wrap as insulation; it's usually a sheet of white butchers paper lined with a sheet of greaseproof that's used, and as I said, sometimes a bundle of suppers wrapped in newspaper. It's really rare though, but carrier bags leave the inner papers wet.
The smell of hot vinegared chips is unmistakable
cheers,
Toddy
our local chip shop uses white sheets of paper, it comes from Middletons which produce news print for the media industry. They use those poly trays too which are just litter imho. Got to have vinegar on me chips, no salt as i got hypertension, lol
You did Rich, it was at a Rough Close meet last year or the year before, we also did southern fried chicken, lol.
If your in the Black Country (Midlands) try Our Plaice in Halesowen, old fashioned fish and chip shop frying in beef fat, won loads of awards too. You can have your fish battered deep fried, un-battered deep fried or even grilled. They do have different fish in too, like fish of the week. the other month was Bream. There's always a queue so they're doing something right.
In Cradley Heath there's Hooked on Fish, another good chippy.

I am pretty certain that it is fact that the best Fish and Chips are from Yorkshire.
I actually believe (generally) that too to be honest, although oddly I have never found the coastal spots that good compared to some we have locally despite having them straight off the trawlers.
The Magpie at Whitby is the most over-rated chippy ever! Just an average chippy dispite the pictures of celebs on the wall
That said, the best I have ever had were from "Dicks Fish & Chips". Campbell River, V.I., Canada. They were sublime! a choice of locally caught Salmon or Halibut & I went for Halibut. Awesome!

LOL. We get that same reaction from northerners over here. They want to eat them like Cream of Wheat or Oatmeal by adding sugar and/or milk. Grits are actually more or less tasteless alone; they need copius amounts of salt and butter added (and sometimes extras such as shredded cheese, crumbled crispy bacon, or shrimp)
All in All though we do lokie them. Definitely better than their nearest Italian cousin, Polenta.

10/10, really the best I've tasted - I'm not local by any means - and I've been to all sorts across the country (including Whitby and what must have been the most expensive in Padstow courtesy of Mr Stein)
Portion size however, 5/10, it felt 'half size' to me - really could have done with being bigger.
Queue was amazing. Started half an hour before it opened and must have almost been 100 people long.

As others have said, the Magpie in Whiby, however it's not the only one especially when the queus are too long. I have recently spent a week there on a diet largely of fish and chips.
