My youngest went off to college last year and spent her first semester in London. She knew no one on the trip when she left, but came back with a lot of new friends. What an opportunity for such a young person who has never been away from home. She had a blast. I worried , A LOT, everyday, was she eating, did she have enough money, was she safe. But, thanks to modern technology we used Skype, Kik, Email and Facebook. I sent her packing with some home recipes as well as care packages, that were very expensive to send I might add, especially when you are sending 6 cans of cranberry sauce for a crowd for Thanksgiving dinner (they do not have it over there). On some nights, her and her friends did visit the pubs to eat and drink. At the age of 18 these young people, right out of high school, can drink over there! I was a little shocked by that, my baby drinking! She also enjoyed the food for the most part and her favorite was the Fish and Chips. Last week we mimicked the British version of Fish and Chips and she said they were awesome. This is how we made them.
This box of mix, found in the baking aisle of the grocery store and a can of beer. The package calls for water,we substituted beer. Mix together and dip and slather the fish fillets in it, fry in canola oil until golden brown and drain on paper towels on a baking rack.
We used Pollack. But you could also use, Cod or Haddock. A good white thick fish is better, doesn't fall apart so easy. We used whole white potatoes - sliced, fried in canola oil then sprinkled with sea salt. I also got her the Malt Vinegar, because you can't eat Fish & Chips with out it, so she says!
