Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas. Maybe a breadcake if I can be arsed.

Making it all myself, bar the chips. Use cider to make the batter, makes it fluffier and adds a crisper taste.

Missus normally uses Self raising flour for batter.

If yer can find any these days.
 
Yeah, I'll catch 'em from the shop when they call me tomorrow. I fancy fish and chips this evening and will try cider in the batter.

Let me know how you get on. I used Somersby cider (I don't know what the equivalent is in Canada), but as a rough guide, sweet cider works better than dry.
 
So where are you on the curry sauce / gravy / beans / mushy peas from the chippy debate?

My preferences to accompany fish and chips are mushy peas, salt, malt vinegar and an English style pale ale (not too hoppy like North American brews). I have never tried curry sauce or gravy both sound wrong to me. That said, in Newfoundland the dish is cod and chips with dressing (like stuffing for fowl) and gravy. When I was in St. Johns I had the cod and chips which were brilliant but passed on the dressing and gravy.
