Fish and Chips
Fish and Chips is such a classic dish, yet with all the new food trends coming and going, one will always come back to the classical fish and chips.With its origin in England, apart from their beautiful accents, I do love them even more for the fish and chips! Growing up as a child we had a variety of food menus, and fish and chips stood out as a firm favourite. And still today I am every time in shock when I hear people saying they do not feed their children fish and chips - perhaps a more healthier way of chips would do as people still see chips as fattening food? But no fish? With omega being so important for the health. No, no, no !I will never understand it! Feed your children fish, it is extremely important for brain functioning! And so good for your health. If you like this recipe, try Beer - battered Fish and Chips.
