... I seldom condemn. Tho' I have been known to contemn...

I love the way you amuse yourself, vinchaud!

One wonders what other simple pleasures he spurns, his palate sated by Parisian sophistication.

Chips, chocolate, ice cream - three that I spurn habitually , plus jelly, chicken mcnuggets and other such childish whimsies ... (I may wink - but it's true).

chicken mcnuggets

Do you really classify these as a pleasure?

what do they taste like then ?
perhaps they are yummy. I wouldn't know, obviously.

chicken mcnuggets .

Which part of the chicken is the "nugget" I wonder ?

I have never knowingly eaten a mcnugget. But they appear on Kids Menus (themselves an abomination) and I have witnessed children eating them. With chips!

perhaps there is a clue in the "Mc".......

The parts that are inedible unless they are stripped from the carcase with high-pressure water jets.

I have no connection to the said Mc XXX - but a friend worked for them as a buyer, and to be fair she told me (years ago) that they are punctilious as to the quality of the food they supply (and it is of good quality) and they inspect their suppliers. One might not like what they do with it, though, I agree.
I'm picking up from industry insiders interviewed on the media that its the supply to local authorities, public sector users that are at particular risk of substitution of cheaper inredients.

And it was my error to include the prefix before the word 'nugget' anyway. Jamie Oliver - that champion of school dinners - has a recipe. Just the job with a bowl of chips ...

Any aficionados of Edinburgh chippy sauce - the strange mixture of HP-style brown sauce diluted with vinegar they slather on chips over there? And where exactly are the outer limits of the so-called "brown sauce triangle"? I know it extends into parts of West Lothian, but what about the Borders and Fife?

I marked myself out as being irredemably "from the West" during the spell I was living in Edinburgh because I'd always answer the question "Salt'n'sauce?" with "No, salt'n'vinegar".

I refer the member to my answer above (#8). I can state confidently that Hawick was in the salt'n sauce zone in the early 60s, and knowing the conservative (small "c") nature of border folk - common expression, "it's aye been", I expect it still is.

While holidaying in the lake district recently, we visited a chippy a couple of times, which served simply exquisite mushy peas.

How do they do it? what do they do to them? is there a secret ingredient?

An area in which I have to concede that the north has it over the south.
The Milbrook chippy does a mean pea fritter,TBF.
