The last restaurant meal I ate was an excellent plate of fish and chips. I don't really use restaurant food as inspiration because I always choose dishes which I could not, or would not, make at home; either because they are too complicated to bother with for day to day eating or they involve equipment I don't have such as a deep fryer, a tandoori or a charcoal grill. Hence the fish and chips. I never make either battered foods or chips at home.
