I adore Fish and Chip. My mom was British and she preferred Union Jacks or Fish and Chip, but Fish and Chip were the only place offering mushy peas with your fish and chips, so they got the nod. Plus, the ladies there are top-notch.

Mushy peas, I’ll try them for the first time in honor of your mom. Thanks.

Thank you. It would have made her day to know someone was going to give them a try. I love them, but they are an acquired taste. She would have told you that they're best eaten after splashing a little malt vinegar over them. She had Alzheimer's and the way the ladies at Fish and Chip were always so warm and welcoming, even when time and time again she acted as if she'd never been there before... Brings tears to the eye.
