Quoting Warpslide to Nightfox <=-

When we go for Fish & Chips here it almost always comes with coleslaw,
I'm not sure why. There a few that serve an oil & vinegar coleslaw
which I'm not very fond of, to me it's just wet cabbage. The creamy coleslaw made with mayo is (IMO) far better.

I like both versions, depending on what I'm having it with. ie: Fish and
chips the oil and vinegar version helps cut through all the grease. ;)

I'm surprised vinegar hasn't come up in this conversation. Malt vinegar
on fish and chips is a delight - and the only dish I'll add salt to.

It did, briefly. But at the time, we were talking about subs and salads.

Fish and Chips on the California west coast is hit and miss. Lots of
restraurants treat fries as and afterthought, and whilst the Proper
Fish is cod or haddock, I've seen Salmon used here.

Same here in Wisconsin. But then again, there's not much you can do with fries/chips, besides finding anything incredible to put on them. :)

Here cod is the norm, but they usually have some locally popular fish like blue gill, perch, or walleye as other options as well.

That Ain't Right.

Agreed, but I don't think I've ever seen Salmon advertised as any kind of fish fry around here. Probably a good thing, I guess.

That sounds boring, to be completely honest. I'd just pass on the fries (or chips) then.

Don't knock it till you try it. There are other... Plebs that'll go with Chicken Salt and dip in gravy, but that's a waste of perfectly good chippies for my money.

I've learned to hold my head proudly while I dip my fries in
mayonnaise. Let the scoffers hold their tongues!

Mayo has always had an unfortunate lubricity combined with a taste like something thats died to my tastebuds... so I'd be reaching for the
dishwashing liquid and washing my tongue :)

Chicken salt + gravy on mashed potatoes is in fact a superior codiment for fried.

KFC used to serve their fries with chicken salt & also had a decent mashed potato & gravy - both combined were the best..

In the 1970's when I ordered a Hamburger at Burger Chef I learned they put Mustard and Ketchup in their sandwiches, so I'd have to specify "Mustard Only!" when ordering a 15 Cent burger there

A brother was Manager at another Burger Chef said to me "Oh you want 'no k plus o' " to me, so I began ordering what I wanted that way.

That reminds me. I just learned recently that Burger King does orders in a wierd way like that also. Never knew about it for all these years.

If you order a Whopper with "heavy all" they give you 1.5 times the ingredients (besides the actual burger patty).

Wonder if your KFC is any different to ours... Ours serve indigestible
grease laden schnitezengruben that could probably power a 3rd world country
for a week.

There chips are good, will give you that much even here... but I'm not sure what it really is they're putting in the spud n gravy... cotton wool and axle grease maybe?

The missus used to be a manager at Hungry Jacks (read Burger King for the
rest of the world), when I met her. I'd trundle in and hang out towards the
end of her shifts. Not ever having had Jacks before that she'd get me
something while I was waiting and reading the newspaper.

I'd get some really weird stuff out of that kitchen. A nominal double
cheesey would have 4 patties in it, or wall to all pickles, or 5kg of cheese, always something weird with it.

The gravy recipe is a corporate secret long held by PlastiCorp(tm).

The important bit here is "used to", those days are long gone unfortunately.

Unfortunately not, KFC here in New Zealand has a well deserved reputation for being as bad as you describe.

Ahhh so PlasticMan is to blame. There goes the axle grease theory..

Quoting Poindexter Fortran to Tiny <=-

started renting when the neighborhood was sketchy, but it's become
quite hip now. They still paid $780 for it. It looked the worse for

So when we moved here the Downtown core was sketchy so our rent started
at $999 a month when the average was $1100. The neighbourhood went hip,
then covid, nwo it's a drug infected poop hole again. However they are building expensive apartments so it's coming up again. hahah

what landlords try to pull - since most people aren't aware of the
law, it makes sense for them. A fraction of the poeple will object,
like you did, and most will go along with it.

That's what my daughter told me. She went around the building and told
anyone who would listen not to sign.

The "the lease is invalid because the building sold" gets used a lot.

They try that, but it doesn't work for us. :)

Nolo Press has some great self-help books on tenant's rights. I don't
know if they're California-only or have books for all states, but
they've been a godsend here. They also have forms for most
tenant-landlord communication for free download.
