Re: Lab-on-a-fish
For the record, 'chips' = 'fries' (more or less - chips tend to be thicker than fries).
I know 'chips' are what Americans call 'crisps' - not the same thing as French fries/chips at all. It's a language thing.
And mushy peas are dried Marrowfat peas which have been soaked in sodium bicarbonate solution (not much, but enough), then boiled until they turn mushy (with a little oil or butter and seasoning), If you get a chance, try them. Over here, Fish, Chips, and Mushy Peas are a staple.
And also for the record, mushy peas with whole, solid peas in them are awful.
Indeed, Mushy Peas with mint sauce (a mixture of mint and vinegar) are a snack in their own right in some places in the UK.
