If asked what is my favourite meal – it would be fish and chips. My preferred fish are skate, haddock, cod, plaice and sole, probably in that order and cooked aright with the right batter cover. My extras would include mushy peas, pickled or even raw onion, gherkin, beetroot. My condiments would be salt, vinegar and tartar sauce. I have favourite fish and chip shops but on her day my wife is good. My main requirement for fish is just “jumped out of the sea”.

If I had won the US Golf Masters and were invited to produce the menu for the champions dinner, or I was a prisoner and told it will be my last meal, or I was hosting a meal for friends etc. and given free reign over the menu, it would be a personalised variation of a seafood cocktail (starter), fish and chips as set out above (main course) and Knickerbocker Glory (dessert), accompanied by a nice dry, white wine. Just saying in case any should care to take note, lol!
