Dishes mentioned
Orange Chips
These orange chips are battered and deep-fried, giving them a light, crunchy exterior that's not greasy or stodgy. The batter is made from just flour, water, and food coloring, but the result is phenomenal. They are so crispy and flavorful, I honestly think I've been eating chips wrong my entire life. This is a must-try if you're in the Black Country.
Curry Sauce
This curry sauce is sweet, slightly oriental in flavor, and peppery. It has a thick, gravy-like texture, similar to KFC gravy. It's absolutely delicious, and I could eat it forever.
Fresh Fish
The fresh fish was just cooked for me, fat and juicy. It's fantastic.
