The Cricketers, traditional English pub
Just a bit about fish & chips. I have ordered fish and chips almost every place I've been in England. I know there are other things to eat there, like delicious Indian food, for example, or unmemorable pastries, but fish and chips is uncomplicated and usually dependable. However, I have discovered that not all fish and chips are equal. The best, IMHO, until we got to Canterbury, had been from The Anchor Pub in Cambridge. Theirs is good. Really good.
But the Cricketers' fish and chips in Canterbury is even better.
This huge hunk of delicious fish was about the size of a small chicken.
I'm still not sure who eats mushy peas, but it's not me.
Peas are high in protein and fiber, and do nicely in a cool, wet climate -
so I suppose that might have been a staple during rationing times.
Anyone can grow peas. And maybe they're mashed so they don't roll around.
Who knows.

That's my water. No ice, one slice.
Nice to know that someone else needs to change their wallpaper too.
Low ceilings, open beams, gaudy wallpaper. Very English.
(I won't show you my wallpaper. It's equally obnoxious and doesn't have any of the ambient charm.)

The Falstaff
Only slightly disappointing for one who was expecting 'The Archbishop's Finger'...
Oops, just a wee peek at the cathedral in the distance.
That's for next week's Anglophile Friday.
Laying out the Welcome Mat
That's all the Canterbury for this week. Next week I'll post some of the cathedral photos, honest.
Missed last week's Anglophile Friday? Well here it is.
