Tony's Talk - Short Sighted - Or What?
Fish and Chips suffer from being encased in plastic carrier bags that encourage the food you have prepared to lose its ‘pan appeal’ and become soggy through sweating. Paper packaging is far superior for the transport of hot food allowing your product to ‘breathe’.
However, in the great scheme of things the current ‘war on plastics’ is totally unwarranted. The horror stories of plastic pollution are not the fault of plastic itself but arise because we are all at fault in its disposal.

Goldfish Brand Professional Curries
For over 35 years, Keejays have been producing Goldfish Brand Curry Sauce concentrates for the foodservice market. Back in 1961, founder, Mr Kee Wah Lee, developed his Chinese curry sauce for his restaurant in Clacton-on- Sea. A hit with family and friends, Mr Lee enjoyed sharing his recipe and it quickly became the base for most Chinese curry dishes across the UK served in Chinese restaurants and take-aways. Based on this success, in 1985 Keejays began producing our convenient, versatile, ready to use curry paste on a grander scale for cooks and chefs to use in their own busy professional kitchens.

Tony's Talk - In the immortal words of Victor Meldrew
In the immortal words of Victor Meldrew - “I don’t believe it...!” However, sadly it is a fact that our Trade is being hit by a tsunami of price rises. We are besieged with shortages, supply delays and price increases on key ingredients and packaging. The difficulties of obtaining shipping containers has been widely publicised but the cost increases less so. A 40ft. container from the Far East cost $2,000 in March 2020 to ship into the UK but now costs up to $14,0000! Sailing times have also been extended by up to 4 weeks causing further delays.

TONY'S TALK - Return of the Enamel Bowl...?
When I ‘were a bit of a Lad’ in the 1950’s post-war shortages were commonplace. These particularly affected the packaging of all goods.
Greaseproof papers and ‘white news’ were especially in short supply and it was the norm for Customers to bring in enamel bowls in which to carry away their meal of Fish, Chips ‘n Mushy Peas. Newspapers and magazines were ‘recycled’ for outer wraps, coarse brown papers and even the blue paper that was used for bags of sugar were brought into service. 5” x 3” pure greaseproof paper bags were much sought after to contain a portion of mushy peas!
