“I remember that my first Fish-n-Chips was from a little stand that was set up in Covent Gardens and served on the previous day’s newspaper. I have yet to experience a Fish-n-Chips quite like that first one. It was the first time I’d eaten anything that both crunched and melted in my mouth. I went almost every day.”

“I came to the U.K. in my late 20s and back then the idea of putting vinegar on chips or having fish with vinegar instead of lime (how I used to eat it) was really strange, but it didn’t take long to learn to love it, Salt & Vinegar became my favourite crisp flavour too.”
