Diego_Sideburns Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Oldham's Tommyfield Market. In the United Kingdom, fish and chips became a cheap food popular among the working classes with the rapid development of trawl fishing in the North Sea in the second half of the nineteenth century.[1] In 1860 The first fish and chip shop was opened in London by Jewish proprietor Joseph Malin[2] who married together "fish fried in the Jewish fashion"[3] with chips. Deep-fried "chips" (slices or pieces of potato) as a dish, may have first appeared in Britain in about the same period: the OED notes as its earliest usage of "chips" in this sense the mention in Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities (published in 1859): "Husky chips of potatoes, fried with some reluctant drops of oil". (Note that Belgian tradition, as recorded in a manuscript of 1781, dates the frying of potatoes carved into the shape of fish back at least as far as 1680.)[4] Wrong thread Bob. We're talking Catholics here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
