I have never really been into imitation meat. Especially those beyond burgers or what have you. I miss certain things. But mostly it's me lacking something my favourite sides go with. And although aubergine has never been my favourite, this would be great for me. Cos it's just as much the batter, chips and sauces that are the experience. Mushy peas from marrowfat peas has never been my favourite so I will absolutely try make it with frozen garden peas. I'm guessing they started making the pea side with marrowfat peas cos they were dried and not reliant on season. But then again. Dates I've found online says mushy peas are only from the 1970s. We had freezers then with bags of garden peas, didn't we? lol Edit: ah yeah, found some better dates. Mid-1800s seem better. Still reading now. Interesting. It's kinda like the traditional Danish soup made on marrowfat peas (meat and soup veg too) Yellow Peas first recorded 1766. The marrowfat peas were great for dealing with the saltiness of the salted meats used during the winter.

Mmmhhh. I am really torn by this video: The result looks phenomenal, but try to sell it to me as vegan fish and chips and it will be a hard NO! No fish, see? Re-badge it as British-style vegetable tempura and I'm your man. Otherwise it's a lie, like caffeine-free coffee, sugar-free sugar, alcohol-free beer or wine, meat-free meat. Not having a go at vegans, but why does it have to be pretend-this or pretend-that? Present it as what it is, I'll give it a shot. Sell me a pig in a poke, no.

For anyone that hasn't tried Banana Blossom this way; you must try it. I tried some blossom right out of the can and after it got battered and fried and somehow when it's battered and fried it tastes so much different, and so much like fish. I have no idea why this is, you just have to experience it for yourself. You don't even need a proper tartar sauce either; I used mayo and it was just as good.

I'm living in London now for 2. 5 years and I love vinegar chips (I don't think I'll ever use the british words though) by now, the tougher the better but soggy fries are an absolute abomination! Why would anyone ever do this? Why do you people hate yourself so much? :(

Guys you definitely need to look into and practice using banana blossom for the fish and chips ahahaha. Have a look at avant garde vegan, as you should have used the seaweed for that as well, so it would have actually tasted fishy!

Ben thinks meatballs are a deliberate substitute for testicles and that makes me concerned for him both in the kitchen AND the bedroom.
