cameroncrazy1984: In Buffalo we call that the "regular"


When I lived in Buffalo my boss was a volunteer firefighter whose company ran a Lenten Fish Fry.  Technically they were "all you can eat" but apparently I broke that one year when he drew the line at plate #3.

For a moment there, I thought that was the script from an old Mitchell and Webb sketch.

Have the battle lines been drawn over white vs malt vinegar?
I need a few minutes to put on my knight armour.

Do they sell real meal size boxes, or just that appetizer box?

Having had fish 'n chips in jolly old England, I can state that I have never had anything even remotely as good here in the US...and I eat a lot of fish. Went to a street vendor with MrsGriffin after we visited the Tower of London and damn if that wasn't delicious. Nothing like fantastic fish 'n' chips while sitting on a bench with London Bridge in the distance.

They're going to need to get rid of it. That's un-British immigrant crap. Just not in keeping with Real Brexit

For further weights and measures fun, the caption on the photo says it weighs 1 stone, 4 lbs.

And they probably price the box in guineas, just because they can...
