Best & Worst ever

[MickJ]

Being old fashioned, the only fast food I rate is good old Fish & Chips from the traditional British run chippy. The Chinese just do not seem to have the right nack.

 

The best I can remember recently were from Busy Lizzies in Skipton.

 

The worst were at Regents Park Zoo restaurant, many years ago, many more than I care to admit. They had been re-heated and the fat just oozed from the batter when you pressed your knife on it. The chips were thin, limp and greasy. Not an experience I would like to repeat.

 

I had always believed, probably through propaganda, that our Nations Capitol had the best and biggest of everything. My test of this theory shot it to pieces at the very first attempt.

 

So what are your Best & Worst?

Hardly a fair comparison, go into any similar(to RP Zoo) establishment anywhere in the country and I would expect the fish and chips to be rubbish, you have to compare it with a proper chippy.

There's a chippy in North London that's famous for its matzo meal batter, which serves up brilliant fish 'n chips, sometimes with a queue of 75 people waiting. I've been there a few times, but for the life of me, I can't remember exactly where it is! It wasn't that far from Kingsbury, but I just cannot remember.

 

Regarding chinese, the two best by far I ever had were a tiny little place in Ibiza, closely followed by "Tai-Pan" in Kensington, with the brilliant Eddie "Artificial" Lim as proprietor.

 

The worst? Too many to mention.
