Did the alleged and generally
acclaimed inventor
of the now readily accredited
and ubiquitous
fish and chips meal
intentionally set out
on this today famous
culinary undertaking,
or was it fortuitously just
an accident
in the making that only
occurred
without any planned conceptualising
or precise planning by
anyone?
In essence a force majeure
of its own fashioning.
Anyway, whatever the
plausible or more like
than not the numerous farfetched
reasons
that are customarily and
assertively
given by the average
Briton in
patriotically, but
somewhat
risibly, claiming that
the
standard fish and chips
meal is a distinctly
unique, English-indigenous
and an un-
waveringly popular
British cultural
dish in every conceivable
way;
one thing is unquestionably
certain and consequently
completely fair to say.
That the favourite fish
and chips meal so culturally
and intensely ingrained in
the British national
psyche is unquestionably
a most agreeable
and a really vitalizing, culinary
delight,
which, as far as the
British Isles are individually
concerned, is forever
here to stay. Whether
bought from the average
fish and chips
shop as is characteristically
done,
or else lovingly and diligently
organized in the kitchen
of one’s own home.

Remarks:
Anything
more that could possibly be said would from a logical perspective be an
overkill and rather off-puttingly superfluous. So I’ll leave things as there
are and let your fish and chips, wherever you are, speak for themselves. Except
for one thing!
If
you ever happen to be in Worthing, West Sussex, England then I personally
recommend that you visit the Café Vita there in South Street near the Promenade
Roundabout; and where they prepare and distribute some of the most gorgeously
delicious fish and mouth-watering chips ever; served magnificently by a most
charming young lady by the name of Gabriella; or Gabi for short. Ask for her by
name and she’ll see you right. Happy eating!
