The beloved cookery writer admits she was initially "sceptical" after spotting deep-fried jam sandwiches on the menu at the renowned Eric's Fish and Chips. Run by Chef Eric Snaith, the famed chippy, which has previously featured in The Good Food Guide, serves the quirky dish as part of its sweet treats menu, alongside a deep-fried chocolate chip cookie dessert. Chef Eric was introduced to the legendary Delia during her visit to his branch in the historic market town of Holt, Norfolk, and suggested she give the "unique" sandwich a try for herself. As reported by BBC News, Chef Eric came up with the idea for deep frying jam sandwiches as he wanted to whip up a nostalgic treat with "a bit of a twist". He naturally had hoped Delia would enjoy it when he served her lunch, but could never have imagined just how impressed she would be. In fact, she was so thrilled, that she asked if she could serve it herself, at her Norwich City Football Club-based restaurant, Yellows. Delia told the publication: "When we first saw the deep-fried jam sandwich on the menu in Eric's we were a bit sceptical, but the friends we were with ordered it and so did we. The rest is history. "It was so amazing we cheekily asked Eric if we could serve it in Yellows Bar and Grill to bring it into the city and our customers, just like us, love it. The only way we can describe it is 'think doughnut, only even better'." The dish is now proudly included on the main menu at Yellows, where it is referred to as "Eric's deep-fried jam sandwich", in a nod to the creative inventor. As per the description: "Who is Eric?
