Greasy Fish

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, just as "good" fish and chips, as judged by Belfast standards, slip through the greasy paper soaked fingers of native connoisseurs. I mean, I like a greasy chicken wing like the next guy, but when something is so greasy you feel the blood slowing down in your veins, it may be excessive. It seems news of the on-going fight against cholesterol hasn't reached here yet. The floor in the restroom is so grease covered from patrons trying to cleanse their hands, it is a fall hazard.  Before I left on the trip I forgot to waterproof my boots...no worries now. Disturbingly, it literally felt like I had lip balm on after the meal. Are you getting the picture? I feel like I need to guzzle a bottle of Dawn Liquid Detergent soap just to make it through the night. Wow. They really were some good fish and chips though.
