Look, you find me Tim Tams and I find you fish & chips… Do we have a deal?

I’m dying for a decent plate of fush & chups here in Paris. Does it exist? I’m too weak from hunger to leave my flat and search.

Val, it’s not just when you were a child! Even a few years ago I found myself (on the request of others!) ordering the same thing - except the “luxury” of scraps costs a lot more than sixpence!

Urgh! The batter looks so thick.
It reminded me of my days growing up as a child in England and a special supper treat was to go the local fishshop and ask for sixpence worth of scraps. The scraps were in fact scraps of batter! I’m amazed I’m still alive.

Better not tell El Rubio about that one in the future, Naranja!

Nothing wrong with playing with your food! I remember convincing three of my friends that the meal we had just made (mash and some stew thing) should be devoured only using our mouths and with no use of fingers and cutlery. It was a messy and fun affair, I to preserve my reputation I better tell you as well that it was in my teens.

Make that 5 in favour of the fish and chips. Sure brings back memories - not of the motherland, but the fact that my folks were in fact the only two people actually from the motherland in the little Aussie town I grew up in. We would traipse into the chip shop and cringe when they asked for 4 chip butties…never heard the end of it at school. Come to think of it, I used to get picked on for saying things like “vitamin” and “beetroot” like a pom too….more shame me.
