lucky youi just remembered 'spam fritter month' aswell, including the experiment with oxo batter. jebus
my dad wasn't much for cooking main coursesso it'd be chicken kiev, peas and chips pretty much every time.
He did make up for it by learning how to make amazingly good stodgy puddings that my mum wouldn't make as she was trying to make him diet

lucky you My dad could make tomato and basil sauce for pasta,and stew. We once had dry turkey and soggy sprouts one Christmas when my mum was in hospital and wanted us to still have a normal christmas but I forgive him that because it wasn't the best of times.
My dad's only other "recipe" was fried egg and chips.The chips were made in the deep-fat fryer and were the best chips known to man. I have never had chips as good as my dad used to make them.
He doesn't do any cooking now though.

my dad made amazing deep fat fryer chipshe always claimed the trick was to double dunk them to get the outsides properly crispy
Did your dad ever work in a chip shop?They always double fry them too
not that I'm aware ofthough I'm pleased that his trick was based on proper professional practice
I was under the impression that you fry them once very hotto seal the outside, then reduce temperature and fry again, to get the insides nice and fluffy.
I'm pretty sure it's the other way around My dad also made superb chips,and I can honestly say that I have inherited his skillz.
it seems to be a culinary skill that dads specialise in Ah, my l33t chip skillsz must havedeveloped because of babby_jimbob. Solved!
