I'm lousy at frying.
I don't know exactly what I do wrong, but I always seem to have too much oil, on too low a heat (so it gets absorbed and doesn't crisp) or too little (so it sticks) or too high a heat so it burns. And I can't work out what is wrong quickly enough to change it.

I just never learned to fry properly.
Yes, I blame Mum

Apparently Nanny Robinson (Dad's Mum) fried everything, which was common. So Mum set about converting him after they married.

To this day I can make a decent English breakfast, but not a fried one.
