How should I have my fish & chips

[grovesy]

You have all given great advice. I will opt for a small cod or haddock (if they do different sizes) & have some of my wife's chips. Plus lots of salt & vinegar of course.

That sounds like a good idea.

Though not my tipple of choice, it's a wise move.... The Liver will be so busy processing the Alcohol that Glucose will not get a look in🙂..... Of course, if this lasts 2 hours or more then you will have achieved your goal of no more than 2-3 mmol BG rise 2 hours after eating (the rest doesn't count anyway.... Or you will be too "relaxed" to care).


Wash your mouth out with Salt & Vinegar.... It was hearbreaking (when we were in NZ last year) to always be served frozen chips with a vat of mayo.... I asked for malt vinegar once & all they could find was white wine vinegar

I am really disappointed with the news that NZ has gone weird with the fish and chips. I am a proud expat Kiwi and things must have changed a lot since I lived at home if mayo and white wine vinegar with chips is the thing. I am no young trendy, so always had 'proper' fish and chips with salt and lemon. Vinegar (always malt) was for the UK expats usually. Also most good chippies would make their own chips fresh each day. A real let down for my country. Sorry for that Mark.

I don't like fried fish very much, but If I have to eat it I'll go with lemon and salt and skip on chips. Mayo could be use on cheap freezed fish fingers, 'cause they are awful anyway.

I grew up in Belgium where chips and mayo is a national dish - yum 🙂

I don't mind mayo with chips. Just don't think imo it goes with battered fish. Still, each to their own as they say.🙂

Actually I was never particularly fond of battered fish, would prefer scampi

I've ridden the Ghent 6 a couple of times and the smell of frites and mayo on the friday night makes racing even harder.

Would the use of mayo slow down the carb release from the chips?

I think so, making it an even better choice . The Belgians have so many good things - the chocolate, the beer, the waffles, the moules frittes, the cycling, the manekin pis to name but a few. Am taking my girls on a camper van trip in our Bongo to experience the delights at Easter hopefully

Just had my fish & chips. They were gorgeous! Not testing though.
