Battered pigs in blankets are also on the menu
To quote Good King Wenceslas it's deep and crisp and even. While it's not a white Christmas it is a golden one at Nottingham chippy, the Cod's Scallops.
Soggy sprouts are out. Light crispy batter with a salty tang envelopes the sprouts, which have a firm texture and bite to them. I don't need be converted as I'm a sprout lover, not a hater. But the reaction from my dining companion, a battered sprout novice, was "oooh" in a good way. Another side is the pork, sage and onion stuffing fritters, two large spheres, served with a fruity brown sauce. Introduced last year they went down well and it's not surprising. Is there anything that doesn't taste even better when battered?
This year, for the first time, deep-fried battered mince pies are on the menu. You might think this is a step too far due to the pastry. But it's far from heavy. Surprisingly light, the crisp batter takes the humble mince pie to another level. Served with vanilla soft serve ice cream and a drizzle of brandy sauce, it's naughty and nice.
