Fish and chips is a traditional meal in the UK, where the fish is dipped in a batter mix and immersed in very hot fat. The outcome is one very tasty, healthy fish encased in crunchy, unhealthy batter.
My problem is that when I partake of this meal (like last night) I always eat the whole thing, batter and all, and subsequently feel bloated and generally ill as my stomach tries to break down the excessive fat that has been absorbed. I know this will happen before I start eating, bit do nothing about it. If I were a bit smarter, I would focus on the fleshy fish part and minimise my batter intake.
..but I'm not very smart, a bit like the greedy Labrador that eats anything.
Because of the above, I felt I should bike into the office this morning, so I did. 36.3 miles starting around 05:15 and no adverse reactions to last night's fish. Hopefully I'll make it home.
