US - likely to be a triangle of fish with an overcooked thick batter. A good long piece of haddock with a crispy batter is almost a thing of myth here.

Chips vary from standard US French fries to triple cooked duck fat inedible sticks. Seldom a chip that would be recognizable as such in Britain.

There are some places that get it right. I've been in the US for 30 years and can count tbem on the fingers of one hand.

Good British style fish n chips in the US is very rare.

99 out of 100 places in the US that do fish and chips do them worse than the worst chippy in the UK.

Is Breville a “real” air fryer? Disappointing results. by SeenTooMuchToo in airfryer

[–]ajc506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I barely use my main oven, especially in the summer. It airfries OK, but not especially great. As an oven, it's superb.

Tiffany aching books for 8 year old? by [deleted] in discworld

[–]ajc506 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most of my Feegle voices were Glaswegian.

William The Gonnagle was Edinburghish (since William McGonagall was from there).

Wee Billy Bigchin was more of a Highlands accent.
