Is there a way to transport fried food a shortish distance (say, Harbord F&Cs to Bay St.) without it getting horribly soggy? Can they be 'revived' in the oven?

When I pick up fish and chips from my favorite place... my mantra is two words: drive fast!

I find that this works pretty well, but the first step is to keep the bag/box the food is in open to let the steam out.

Going into my favourite fish and chip place, they know me well --- drain well, place fish ( only, no fries ) on a few serviettes and put a few serviettes on top, after a few moments invert --- result --- great dry fried fish!!! When it comes to pizza and crusts, same thing, even if only one minute from home, lift the lid immediately to let steam escape! Chinese battered shrimp, lift the lid!!! Think about the wonderful evil bacon, how crispy it can become, but add to soup or beans as pork and beans and all you get is flavour and FAT!! Kenny Rogers chain, chicken never lasted here in our Canadian eating environment, motto was " Eat No Fried "! Yes, I eat some fried food, sometimes!!! Wed Jun 22 17:54:39 -0700 2005 558234 0 Jar
