Best seats in the house - the benches on the sea front at Aldeburgh. It's such a posh sea side place even the sea gulls have good manners and don't try and steal your chips.
Cod, chips and mushy peas for 4. The fish was perfect, beyond perfect - stunning. And the mushy peas lovely, not so mushed that they couldn't remember that they had once been peas. But the chips were disappointing - they were hot enough and had crispy enough outsides but had been fried in some random vegetable fat that just doesn't do the business. It HAS to be beef dripping - maybe you can't get beef dripping anymore due to some obscure food hygiene regulation? I will check. But chips with something missing .....
Lovely day though, the dog discovered the sea side and decided he rather liked it - yay!

Unfortunately the Health food Nazis think that frying in dripping/lard is akin to eating babies. Hence all this peanut oil and palm oil (which still cloggs your arteries up)
Oh dear - maybe I'll forgo the chips another time. I'll take you there on my self employed expenses frobes!
you two are showing your age......you show by waxing lirical about microwave chips , we are in the 21 st century for heavens sake :-)
Micro wave chips - cheaper to go to the chippy.
Ahh when was the last time I drank a hot mug of beef dripping....
