I agree entirely, despite that I am not British and am in fact American. Furthermore I demand this thread be bumped, stickied, bronzed, hung on the wall, read as a proclamation to all heretics of good taste, and sealed in an indestructible time-capsule so that all in the future will know the proper and correct way of doing things.
Alas the closest we get to proper Fish and chips around here is the Friday Fish Fry...which whenever I sit down at such an affair I always feel as though I am sitting down to feast in Valhalla. Clearly it is the food of champions, kings, and gods themselves.
