enfieldspares Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Do you use lard? Back in the day my mother's housekeeper used nothing but lard for frying. Simply in the 1960s oil (of any sort) was for cars not for cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge disappointment as we aways make curries from scratch that is excactly me......i use maize oil or well refined rapeseed.............the oil is very important as it infuses all the spices and it sticks nicely to naan breads 2 hours ago, enfieldspares said: Do you use lard?

The quality (haddock, not cod) was spot on and the flavour sublime. My newlywed, London born, wife had never tasted such good fish & chips before.

Once in a while we'd drive over from Leeds to Bradford to get a decent curry. Me...I'm a wuss spice wise and I'd have something mild like the ubiquitous chicken korma or tandoori chicken. One in particular of my fellow diners would have something stupidly hot. I remember the sweat excreting from his brow, the florid face, the huge swigs from a pint glass of Webster's Green Label in vain attempts to extinguish the fire consuming the mouths and the self-encouraging words of "I've paid for it I'll eat it" as we others cautioned him in vain "No Chris don't. You'll make yourself ill." But all to no avail and the self-inflicted wounding continued... Edited July 12, 2023 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There still is one in Upton near Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. A proper traditional, coal fired chippy using beef dripping. Problem is, it’s only open Friday night and Saturday lunchtime.
