Somebody call the food police – this is supposed to be fish and chips

We’re very well aware that there’s a wide variety of ways to cook and present the same foods. What you get when you ask for a veggie burger in Cardiff may bear little resemblance to what you’d get if you ordered one in Durham.

But we’ve seldom seen such a huge difference between expectation and delivery as in this photo of the ‘fish and chips’ skyfishrain was given in India.

He wrote –

‘I’m an English man travelling India. Fancied some British food and ordered fish and chips… wow, what a sight this was.’

That was a remarkably restrained comment, under the circumstances. These weren’t.

Morning prep must be a dream job at this place. Off to the walk-in with a bin, your phone and a roll of TP.

TotalLackOfConcern had these wise words.

Just because you caught it floating in the river doesn’t necessarily make it a fish.

But At0mheart had an actual (possible) explanation.

Those are likely fish cutlets, at least my wife’s family would call it a cutlet. There is meat in the inside, likely fish in this case, and a chickpea breading or similar (lentil, pea, flour) and deep fried. Of course some Indian spices which also give the dark color. In my home they are usually made with beef, and super delicious.
