I remember the first time I had that dish. I was at the neighbor's home
playing some board game. Maybe it was tiddlywinks. The guy's parents come
home and they brought some new food called "fish and chips" from a place
that just opened in Kailua town. The place was called, pretentiously enough,
"H. Salt Esq." At the time it was exotic food from England which must have
been classy because of the name. The newspaper motif printed on the bag and
wrapper was puzzling to me. I thought it was good eats. Pretty much any food
that wasn't prepared at home was good eats. Thus began my long and fruitful
friendship with fast food.

I can remember the music that we were listening to at the time. My friend's
older sister must have been playing the LP. I really wasn't interested in
music at the time but it must have left an impression on me. It was just
perfect. My introduction to the Stones and F&C, at the same time.

Oh yes) Music can bring back lovely memories Fish and chips was a
regular Friday food when i was a child. I always used to have patty and
chips. The patty was mashed potato with a little fish, mashed, battered and
fried

My family were Catholics and always had fish on Fridays so that was the
easiest option )

I sometimes make it at home. The only time we buy it from the fish shop is
when we are down in Yorkshire

They are the best
