I've always loved KFC's mashed potatoes and gravy, and, much to my surprise, the last time I was there they had a grilled skinless and boneless breast, which was quite good. I don't really care about grease; I've never had a "cholesterol" problem. My Grandpa used to say, "The fat is where all the flavor is." When I was a kid, we would deep-fry stuff in Crisco, and use it multiple times. Crisco is made from soybeans, so it must be good for you. ;-) > > But I can't rave over British cuisine.

On some documentary travelogue, I saw some authentic "Fish and Chips"; some big greasy chunks of some white fish, and big greasy chunks of potatoes, served in a cone made of newspaper. It looked delicious! Dunno if I'd put vinegar on it, but I'd be willing to try - it took my Mom 40 years to talk me into trying vinegar on my spinach, and I was quite pleasantly surprised. :-) Cheers! Rich

Here's my method: Start cooking potatoes and whatever else my wife hands me, on the Weber. Johnsonville brats are poked with a sharp fork and go on it as well, so I have max cook time for those available. The missus does _not_ like dinner to be late. I drape the brats around the perimeter where the top vent is. Fat oozes out of the little poke holes but doesn't fall onto the coals. Then when most of that is out I move them closer in for a little cajun-style. I don't know if they use any glutamate in them but heck, one has to live a little ;-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

It looked delicious! They are not allowed to serve it in newspaper any more. The fish should be cod or up market version haddock deep fried in a beer batter. The chips should not be all that greasy if done properly. North of the border they like deep fried Mars bars which explains the high incidence of serious heart disease up there. Of the Fish & Chip chains Harry Ramsdens is about the best, but the ones in airports are a pale imitation of the real thing. Try Whitby or Fleetwood for the real McCoy- basically any of the fishing ports. > > Dunno if I'd put vinegar on it, but I'd be willing to try - it took > my Mom 40 years to talk me into trying vinegar on my spinach, and I > was quite pleasantly surprised. :-) Salt and vinegar is the norm.

That's the norm, although cooking fat containing beef tallow is better than plain vegetable shortening. Cheers Phil Hobbs (Former short-order cook on the docks in Vancouver) |
