Fish & Chips: Good Friday Favourite
As a major sea-faring nation of the past, fish and chips have always been associated with Great Britain. As well, this favourite, yet uncomplicated dish, is part of the food culture of all English-speaking countries that were once former colonies. Based on church traditions, too, fish has also been a staple on Good Friday. Since Good Friday is a statutory holiday, treat yourself and pick up the required number of servings for the family from your local fish and chip spot. Travelling along the streets of our hometown of Waterloo the last few weeks, there seems to be an explosion of establishments offering this favourite combination of protein (fish) and carbs (French fries) for Good Friday. Let’s enjoy some wine too? A crisp, dry, fresh white wine with a pleasant acidity such as Pinot Grigio is the perfect pairing. The additional apple and citrus notes will help cut through the richness of the fried fish and compliment the combined flavors of the fish and the chips. Go for the Henry of Pelham Pinot Grigio VQA available at your favourite retail outlet.
