talking of filthy habits ...mushy feckin peas
Mushy peas are dried marrowfat peas which are first soaked overnight in water with bicarbonate soda/baking soda,[1] then rinsed in fresh water and simmered with a little sugar and salt until they form a thick green lumpy soup. In Northern England and the Midlands they are a traditional accompaniment to fish and chips, although their appeal has spread and sometimes mint is used as a flavouring. All over Britain, but particularly in Northern England, they are commonly served as part of the popular snack of pie and peas (akin to the South Australian pie floater, but with mushy peas instead of a thick pea soup) and are considered a part of traditional British cuisine. Mushy peas can also be bought in tins (cans in North America). They are also sometimes served in batter as a pea fritter.[2] often wondered about the colour as well .... Green colouring is often used to colour mushy peas. It is typically achieved by adding the yellow and blue additives, Tartrazine (E102) and Brilliant Blue FCF (E133), which together produce the green effect. The use of artificial colours results in bright green mushy peas. Pure mushy peas, with no colouring, tend to form a more grey-green end product. Sodium bicarbonate (E500) is often added to soften the peas to enhance the colour and to inhibit fermentation during soaking, which reduces later flatulence in consuming said foods. The British Food Standards Agency, on 28 April 2008, asked for a voluntary ban on artificial food colourings and suggested that the ban would be practical by the end of 2009. This would mean that certain foods, including mushy peas, would need to be free of the additive, otherwise the item might be removed from sale.[8] Mushy peas present a particular problem since there is no alternative to tartrazine that gives it the bright green colour.[verification needed] Without the colourant the dish would be murky grey. Ministers have stated that they will pursue a ban through law if food manufacturers do not phase out the food colourings.[9] Have never ever ate the stuff and dont intend to ,also was in a weatherspoon a couple of months back and they offered me a choice of curry sauce with my fish and chips the durty bastids . Salad cream is the only thing that should be added to fish n chips ,maybe a sqeeze of lemmon but on no account RED sauce ,thats just not normal . |

Small dollop of tomato sauce on the plate by the chips, def not all over ! And some tartare sauce for the fish. Absolutely hate it when you go out for a fish and chip meal and they don't put everything on the plate, i.e. you get the peas in a seperate dish on the plate. Recently had it all served on a board with the chips in a wire basket. This bloody pretentious idea for not serving food on plates, trying to be fashionable and serving it on various objects. Stupid daft ways, just put it all on a plate........

Some of the people on here are weird enough to have ketchup with fish and chips but the real weirdos are the ones who use plates.
Fish and chips were designed to be eaten from paper and remember that fingers were invented before forks. If you must use ketchup (fancy name for tomato sauce), put it on whichever corner of the paper that you choose. Posh g!ts, the lot of you. |
