Fish and Chip Insurance ? Deep Fried Mince Pies
Considering the amount of food items the nation’s friers are covering in batter during this festive season, it’s no wonder that they need good fish and chip shop insurance.
Following hot on the heels of the deep fried Christmas pudding – sold per slice for about 50 pence – is the mince pie covered in batter. Whether the friers have to inform their fish and chip shop insurance company that they are experimenting with the such delights is a mystery, but its seems to be gong down well with the customers.
Indeed, it’s become a very popular addition to their menus and might continue to catch on over the years as the fish and chip shop fraternity get even more adventurous. Although one would think that there must be a limit to what you can deep fry of course.
Insurance for fish and chip shops to one side for a moment, lets have a think about what might be improved by deep frying.
Now for years the sausage has been a great friend of the batter and deep fat fryer, and we all know about the liking of the battered Mars Bar north of the border, but its unlikely that a pickled onion would be improved, or say a gherkin.
You could deep fry a hard boiled egg – mind you, isn’t that a Scotch Egg – or you could deep fry a cheese sandwich; as long as the consistency of the chosen product will take it, potentially anything can receive the battered treatment.
And for those who are intrigued, a batter is a very simply thing to make. It’s basically a combination of flour with usually milk, water and eggs. There are many hundreds of recipes and each chef will swear theirs is the best. The ideal for many is to create a light, fluffy batter which adds a delicate coating to the food, rather than a concrete overcoat.
Many things can be used to create a light and fully aerated batter, including raising agents, beer (because of the fizz), or, for the same reason, fizzy drinks.
The word batter originates, like so many culinary terms, from our cousins across the English Channel. The French word battre means to beat which, of course, is what you do with many batter mixes during their preparation. They can be savoury batters, ones that include cream, or any number of other ingredients. In short, they can be a very versatile platform for many different recipes and foods.
The question is, and this can be directed at those who provide fish and chip shop insurance as well, will the friers keep up this level of innovation once the festive season is over? We’ll have to wait and see.

@albedo0point39 thank you, I respect your kind guidance on the subject batter.
I believe I need to further consult our Mufti for his thoughts if the food is appropriate.
Regards.
@ALAJOHNSTONE From an alcohol point of view, yes.
From a practical point of view – perhaps not such a good idea. You may develop a taste for beer, and then start to doubt your faith! And then where would you be?
@albedo0point39 So do you think this is OK for me to eat being Muslim?
@EnglishMadness when i heard her say that in the vid i went “wait….what?”
i love seeing what people like
I must say:
The woman is american but as far as I can see the recipe is one of the best on the internet. Just one thing DO NOT USE frozen chips. NEVER. And use some tempura flour to make it even more CRISPY and add to the beer and egg some sparkling water or soda. ENJOY
I would also advise sprinkling vinegar on top of the Fish and Chips then add salt
Thank you for the recipe! I tried it yesterday and it was delicious!
@LaViN131 The alcohol evaporates in the cooking anyway, so there’s no alcohol in the result.
@MegaLibra1979 You’re supposed to say “fillits” You only say “fillay” if you’re speaking French. It is an American affectation to say “fillay.”

@EnglishMadness too right!!!!!!!!!!
That sucks! The batter is supposed to be crispy golden brown
haha. the videojug way. that is the most dumbest thing i have ever heard
she said: FILLITS
I can’t stand recipes like this. Do we need to see each ingredient in a separate bowl, or see them poured one by one? Why does she sound like a robot and pronounce it “fillit”.
