Lurpak butter, lots.
Hot beans.
Perhaps a dash of Yorkshire Relish.Nairn - Oh, and Heinz beans only.Nairn

Amount of butter should border upon the obscene.Nairn

- Wait, you're in the Seattle?!grafician
- The green thing is the thing you throw away. And yes, Seattle. So what's the normal fish for fish and chips?garbage
- it's different all over the UK, cod is the 'traditional' fish for fish and chips. here it's plaice, some areas its haddock. i'd often go for whiting. which iskingsteven
- essentially just a smaller kind of cod. cod is overfarmed wild and bred in farms so it's often 2x the price to buy and many folks don't realise the difference.kingsteven
- When I was a kid I used to catch, clean and cook whiting. That takes me way back.garbage
