Every second Friday, without fail, payday was a real party at our place. We’d be buzzing all week, counting down the days until my dad would treat us to some amazing fish n chips, all wrapped up in paper to keep it piping hot. The crispy batter and flaky fish made for a real flavor explosion. And as if that wasn’t enough, we’d always have some potato scallops on the side – lightly seasoned and fried to perfection, with those golden edges that just begged to be eaten. And for dessert? Well, let’s just say we always had something special waiting for us: a violet crumble bar, with its sweet honeycomb center coated in rich chocolate, and a yogi bear chocolate, just to keep things fun and playful. Those Friday feasts were a tradition we all loved, and they’ve left me with some of my favourite memories as a kid.
Today, each time I indulge in some fish n chips, it takes me back to those moments and it’s happy days all over again!
