Is it possible you just don't like fish and chips?
I like fish and chips from an actual restaurant or homemade. With the exception of the Magpie in Whitby, which is a restaurant with an attached take away, every take away fish and chips I’ve had has been flavourless chunks of varying textures.
So you're saying fish and chips is trash, but you like a nice fish and chips?
Sure, if you insist. Though the barrier for “nice” is really low. If you like beer that isn’t Stella or Carling, you’re not calling beer trash in general.
Your comparison doesn't make sense. You are saying and chips in general is trash, but you like it when it's high quality. However, beer in general is not trash, but you only like it when it is at least medium quality.
It sounds like you like both things, just not when they are bad.
That’s what I’ve been saying. I’ve only ever been calling bad things bad. I was saying that fish and chips from a take away is bad and shouldn’t be recommended as some exemplar of British cuisine
