Allergies usually stem from the fact that his body Rejects the potatoes completely which means he could get hives and his throat could close up. So I'm not sure but that's what I am really thinking. I don't think he's allergic just intolerant.

The problem with Fish and Chips is the quality varies so wildly. Some places you can go (that people even recommend), and it's just a greasy mess of nothing that will get you on the toilet within minutes of eating it as it just slides it's way straight back out again from all the grease. Whereas sometimes it's just absolutely perfect and hits the spot. Sadly most of the time it's just a greasy mess.

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

Well, I think a lot of it is that he seems to have little sense of taste (and I do mean that more literally than usual, I imagine his sense of taste is below average most likely). Liking fish and chips is fine, but the guy really likes having tons of salt and grease. Those are two qualities often associated with something being on the 'crappy' end of the spectrum. I mean, I wonder if he's even met a proper non-breakfast type of sausage? I see where Josh was coming from with the sausage looking like a breakfast sausage (albeit a bit outsize). It just seems to have an even and bland appearance inside it. Also, for all that he's supposed to be the expert in fish and chips (which I guess he is, compared to Josh and Ollie who rarely get it), he did say he only gets it a couple times a month or thereabouts. They did play him being an 'expert' a bit silly, so I'm sure they were aware he isn't close to being an expert though. Not trying to crap on the dood mind, he can like what he likes of course. But I would just say that he's probably not someone to consult when you want to know a good place for fish and chips.

[@garaines]

Ollie be sure to say when you fart please take short sniffs so there will be enough to go around!😂

[@Nefariousbig]

The sogginess isn't from already added vinegar, it's all the steam from inside the hot chips. You basically can't ever get wrapped chips home from a chippy without them going soggy unless you get them double fried, or maybe try airing them out/cooling them a bit before they're wrapped. Try ordering chips fresh and then just watching the steam or holding a paper towel over them. They evacuate a crazy amount of moisture. If they're open to the air it can escape and they become crispier but obviously trapped in a bag they just make everything around them soggy.

[@anneteamatters]

The only time soggy chips are acceptable is when it's fish & chips. 😂

[@oliverspence9450]

They’re never acceptable

[@eliasoreinic5003]

I'm used to eat soggy chips, since deep fried is not a common thing in my place. They are still good, but yes if i have non soggy chips i'll probbaly prefer that.

[@mariacurtis9247]

It all depends on the fish and chip shop you go too. Coastal fish and chip shops are amazing

[@willowoodz]

i like how luke is different from others who introduce food on the channel. is no professional- he’s just your average guy who knows what he likes and what he doesn’t. its nice lolol

[@raindropsaudi92]

I like Luke. We need more of his wit on this channel 😂

[@gabi18202]

I feel like fish and chips is a food that really must be done right. Very similar to fried chicken and fries (I'm very picky about fries). When they're done well, they're amazing, but when they're done badly, there's no redeeming them

[@fzf7253]

Absolutely. Fish and chips from places nearer the sea, where the fish is fresher etc is lovely. Fish and chips in towns/cities further inland is very hit n miss. If they use frozen fish and precut chips it's just ... disappointing.

[@cancanjaker1620]

That is the same for all food. If they are done well, they are delicious. If they are done badly, nothing tastes good.

[@cancanjaker1620]

[@joelbowen7266]

Yeah agree, a very good fish and chips done well is great, but hard to come by. The chips shouldn’t be soggy, they should be crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, preferably fried in beef dripping and covered in onion vinegar (I.e. the vinegar that comes out of the pickled onion jars) and good quality salt. Also a chip butty can be great (if a little plain but that’s where the onion vinegar comes in) in a freshly baked flakey crusty roll that’s soft and fluffy in the middle and has tonnes of butter on it (weirdly the butter doesn’t have to be good quality though! But maybe that’s a nostalgia thing for me. The most alarming hit is how did they end up not getting a bunch of gherkins if they ordered the entire menu! And they could’ve had a couple of pies as well. Occasionally you can get a pretty decent cheese and onion pasty in a fish and chip shop too. But yeah fish and chip shop fried chicken is literally the worst

I'm actually really intrigued by this kinds of food. You know, the kinda shitty, not that good in quality, definitely unhealthy regional food that only the locals eat. And everyone knows it's not really that good but you just kinda eat it from time to time. Every country has that, and I find that pretty funny.

[@nathan87]

This is exactly it. You nailed it. (Actually, the interesting thing is that depending on where you get fish and chips from, it can be very different. Fish and chips from a good gastropub can be REALLY good.)

[@katyb2793]

What is your country's food like that? I'm Aussie so it's also fish and chips...and I don't really like it much either 😅

[@ps5user155]

This is good, tasty food though

[@hvr1874]

Honestly the best fish (that is not self caught) you will ever have will be freshly caught cheap deep fried white line fish from a good fish and chips take away at a seashore near a fish market. Properly done the fish meat is still moist, none of the oil gets into the fish meat and cooked fast preserving the natural flavour. Fancy restaurants the fish has been in a fridge for at least a day or more, it looses firmness and gets the "fishy" flavour that is covered a boatload of butter and sauce.

[@louiseb9692]

But good Fish & Chips is genuinely so good. I'm so lucky to live near an amazing Chippy. But I've gone years living near mediocre ones and didn't bother ordering.

[@xXSinForLifeXx]

Guys! You've talked about soggy/greasy fish-n-chips a lot. Make a video where you take what you learned making the Korean chicken (specifically the batter and cooking technique) and apply it to the fish and see what you get! I bet you end up with the crispiest fish-n-chips in England! Just a thought!

[@Ben-hv1mi]

Yeah nah they just got it from a shit chippy 😂

[@leentjeverhaegen7403]

Wow it looks like something we have in Belgium. But less fish, more other kinds of meat. We call it 'frituur' in Dutch, not sure what it is in English. Literally translated it is 'frying pan'. It is a place where you can buy chips or french fries with different kinds of snacks.

[@luciahoneybee]

Tbh Belgian fries are the REAL DEAL. They're the absolute best I've ever tried. And the insane variety of high quality sauces to go with... Y'all really know how it's done! 👏🏼

A small thank you for Jolly. Your food related content and positive approach has helped me to tolarate food better. To someone who has an eating disorder food is quite disturbing a lot of the time in real life. Watching and experiencing food trough your content has helped to treat me and make me more tolerable to even be around food. The joyful jolly energy translates to me feeling not really grossed out watching these foods that you eat. Surprisingly, you help me in everyday life with my struggles trough that. So thank you for always being so Jolly ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

For anyone else who's upset they didn't explain what Scampi is, I googled it! According to the Fishopedia (that's right, the Fishopedia): "In most countries, especially Italy, scampi means the peeled tail of pretty much any kind of prawn but in the UK it refers to the meat of just one special prawn: the langoustine. Langoustine is a small lobster found in the colder waters of Scotland, Ireland and Norway." And in Italian-American cuisine, the dish "Shrimp Scampi" consists of unbreaded shrimp cooked in a garlic butter sauce.

[@lizzieharvey6409]

Its just a prawn right, in batter
