fish n chips
A Good Friday tradition around here - no meat and no cooking. Mrs How just left for our favorite fish n chips place. I am having a tough day.

Fish and Chips yay!
But why a tough day?
Accounting stuff?

Here's some trivia for ya. In Dutch fried battered pieces of fish are called "kibbeling", which means "cod cheeks". It's usually served with tartar sauce.
shareWe used to eat cod tongues growing up in Eastern Canada. Very tasty considered a bit of a delicacy.
Interesting. But I don't think they're actual cod cheeks nowadays, just pieces of any kind of white fish.
shareHave you ever tried lutefisk ??
shareI saw a Food Network special on lutefisk, and while I was fascinated by it, I wouldn't eat it anymore than blood sausage.
I'm not sure what it tastes like in other countries, but the blood sausage here in Holland tastes quite good. Not bloody or a very strong flavour, but slightly sweet and spiced.
shareSomething else I used to love as a kid in Germany, blutwurst sandwiches.
shareReally, on a sandwich? I sometimes eat it fried with Hete Bliksem (mashed potatoes and apples).
Here's a delicacy from my own hometown: uierboord.😁
candy baaarrrrs!
shareYou bet ! Several slices on some good German bread with German mustard; to die for. The type of sandwich we used to refer to in my younger days as, "putting lead in your pencil. "
That Hete Bliksem looks dynamite. I can see how it would be a perfect complement to some fried blutwurst.
The uierboord was an interesting discovery. This talk is making me nostalgic and longing for European food.
Well, I just discovered they also have Hete Bliksem in Germany (Himmel und Erde) and they also eat it with blood sausage! In Holland you can also use pears instead of apples.
Hey, db, you've ever heard of Labskaus? I just ate it German style last week, with a fried egg and a rollmops!
Yeah, I think I'm gonna buy me some uierboord and other European delicacies next week! 😋
" Rollmops ! " You just jogged another memory there. And you also hit your 5000 with that post; seems apropos.
shareYeah, I hadn't even noticed! So random for such a milestone!😁
shareI have no idea of what any of this is. I have no doubt that my dad would have known. He was from Germany. all of it sounds wonderful though!
shareIt is MissMargo ! German food is very hearty. Where in Germany was your father from ?
shareWe always use to visit my grandmother and she cooked delicious things. i'm not really sure of what part of Germany my father came from. He came here to the states when he was very young with his sister and his mother. His father had deserted his mother. He never liked to talk about any of that. So sad, but he was one sweet and gentle man.
shareLabskaus doesn't ring a bell but it brought to mind " rotes kraut, " another old favorite. And then there were Apfelpfannkuchen.
shareLabskaus is mashed potatoes, corned beef, onions and beetroot.
Rotes Kraut?Are you talking about red cabbage?
Dutch pancakes rule, ofcourse! German Reibekuchen with apple sauce, now those are tasty.
Yes, red cabbage, along with schnitzel and potatoes. Now there's a traditional German meal, much like our steak & potatoes for the typical, red-blooded American male.
shareAha. We eat red cabbage with apple, red wine and a bit of cinnamon. Accompanied by "hachee" and mashed potatoes of course!
Schnitzel is also very good! I like to eat the big Wiener ones with a few drops of lemon juice in the summer!
I love a good haddock sandwich with tarter sauce and french fries. Have you ever heard of Bake N' Shark? Takes it to a whole new level.
shareI saw the Bake N Shark on a food program. I didn't think they could make shark appetizing but it did look good. IIRC, they had like 50 toppings to go along with it.
shareShark is absolutely delicious, but full of mercury, so you cannot eat it on a regular basis. I've had mako a few times and it reminds of of swordfish.
shareIt is ! I ate it occasionally on my breaks at an upscale restaurant I worked in years ago. It was a thick filet and the texture and taste reminded me of a good steak.
