We walked around Abingdon trying to find a place to eat in. This proved to be more difficult than it seemed and even more difficult to find a pub that served food. Billy having a very large nasal organ suddenly said “I can smell fish and chips “and there it was, a proper English fish and chip shop, or so we thought.
On entering the shop, which also had a seating area, we perused the menu. There must have been about 80 items on the menu including kebabs, curry and burgers. Now if someone can tell us the connection between English fish and chips and these items, we would like to know. Kebabs originate from Middle Eastern countries such as Iran, curries originate from South Asian countries such as Indian and burgers originate from Northern America namely USA and the guys who were running the shop came from Latvia.
When it came to the Lemon Place, which should have been more aptly called The Lemon Plaice, the fish and chips were very good indeed. The fish was cod and not just some “whitefish” and the chips were actually proper chips and not some mass produced, frozen reconstituted potato powder. Sitting in the window seat allowed us to “watch the girls go by” while scoffing some proper English fare albeit produced from a multi-cultural kitchen.
