While these two fruity fritters were once the only dessert offerings at fish and chip shops around the nation, my fondest memory of them was from the local drive-in outdoor movie theatre.
I’m not sure whether the drive-in actually sold them, or whether we bought fish and chips on the way to eat during the movie. Where we bought them wasn’t exactly my focus — it was the way we enjoyed them, together as a family, watching a movie, in our car! Those nights provided many happy moments for me. Where did all those drive-ins go, anyway? They’d just about disappeared from Sydney by the time I was dating… so ripped off!
No sweets with my sweetheart at the drive-in. I’ve added a little spice and coconut to the batter, but feel free to omit these. I also suggest serving the fritters with Rum & raisin ice cream and drizzled with Caramel syrup. And eating them while watching a movie at home. Now that I can do with my love — or on my own!
