When I was little, on a Sunday there was Shakespeare on TV at lunchtime. My beautiful mum, theatrical to her bones and an educator at heart, said she’d buy fish and chips for lunch if we’d watch whatever Shakespeare was on that Sunday. (To the very end.) We watched just about every Shakespeare play, nibbling chips and dunking fish into the tartare sauce that came with it. I’ve had a strong feeling for tartare sauce (and The Merchant of Venice) ever since.
