About this listen

This time, we're taking a deep-fried dive into the origins of words tied to fish and chips, the beloved British dish dating back to the 19th century. Discover how 'fish' follows the same linguistic pattern as 'foot' and 'ford' with their Latin derived counterparts starting with 'P' - pescare, piede and port. Learn about the history behind abstaining from meat on Fridays, why the word 'batter' shares roots with a power cell, and how a flatfish connects to a town square. Plus, hear the story of the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish (and its rivalry with a tropical fruit), and the sauce named after an ethnic group.

This episode concludes with 'Who Invented Ketchup?', an episode of the Who Smarted podcast. https://whosmarted.com/
