Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoyed this video! And if you're in a mood for something sweet, here's a brief history of chocolate 🍫🤤👉 ua-cam.com/video/-h0VFmyAZxc/v-deo.html
I just made a fish and chips, from Arctic cisco (fish found in Arctic Russia, Canada and Alaska). It is delicious, hello from Yakutia, the coldest habitable place on Earth.
Goodness, this my stomach squirm at almost midnight in my neck of the woods. But thank you as always BBC for your edifying and interesting content. Keep up the great work.
They are good, but they were better when served hot in newspapers. I think the printer's ink must have added something to the flavor. Or perhaps it just seemed more exotic to me, and American, because we didn't sell our food that way.
@milascave2 ... I'm British, and yes they were better when they were wrapped in old newspapers. Not only that, they were also fried in dripping then and not oil, some rules changed I think years ago, but not sure really. I've heard that nowadays, some chippies fry chips in dripping, though I haven't yet tried any myself to see what they're like. Nowadays chip shop chips are mostly pale and anaemic looking whereas years ago they were a lovely golden brown colour, which they should be.
I've never liked vinegar on fish n chips - it makes the batter and chips soggy. Fish n chips have been extremely popular in Australia, probably from the time of the first Colonial potato crop. It helps that we have excellent fish varieties readily available.
Is it really British always thought the cod fish was battered in the 15 century in Europe plus it is a national dish in Portugal and a known dish in Spain too
just had my first proper F n C from a proper F n C shop... and my goodness the way the fries were done, the way the fish was done... fish was good but just the way the fries were so like air and crispy same time it was like ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@@yseson_ If you live somewhere that has a lot of Jews it probably would be but anywhere else it's information that's about as commonly known as Indonesia's favourite holiday.
It’s not a Jewish invention, it was brought by the Sephardic Jews from Iberian Spain and Portugal and the battering was exported early on by the Portuguese to whole world including Japan with the famous tempura. There you go history explained
how can the British have a greasy meal like this with no green veggies in it? I believe they know deep-fried food makes you sleepy during the day and thus stupid. Do they know, or do they care?
There's something fishy about this story. You're saying that Fish and Chips where brought to England by Spanish Jews a little over a century ago. England is an Island, and they never fried fish before this. Potatoes are from Peru in the Americas, and it took 400 yrs for fried potatoes to get to England. And the Brits did not combine fish and chips until the late 18oos. I can't swallow this fishy tale. I don't believe it. 🐠
You've got it wrong: The battered and fried fish was brought by the Spanish Jews. The chips, however, only came about after the Columbian era as potatoes are a new world food. The British DID fry fish, but not with the batter.
Daniel: Not anymore. It is highly multi-national now. Lots of. immigrants from all over. It is said that the world's best Indian food. can be found in London.
@@krashd we are bigger than UK now lol. And on the other hand UK is a trash country right now with low income, old infrastructure and police arresting citizens for posting things on social media lol. We r better of without UK buddy
I learned a lot from you, although i was born in the uk and grew up on fish and chips i only learned their origibs from this video. As a thankyou i would like to invite you to read thw Holy Quran so we can learn our origins and purpose of life. Its full of scientic facts that couldnt be known 1400 years ago. Thanks a lot . Keep up the good work. Lits of love. Bye for now.

The art style is simply phenomenal, kudos to whoever drew this stuff
I know right!!
It may have been a studio of animators
it was me
Love these food history videos on BBC Ideas. Hope to watch more of them in the future ☺️
British: These are chips
Others: fries
Australia: *literally everything is chips*
Americans* : fries
Frites!
Chips in my country
Fries is how they call where I live.
Call chip and you are immediately call weird.

Fish and chips used to be a good cheap meal in the UK. Rather expensive now in a lot of establishments.
Watching this while fasting... Perfect
It’s my favorite meal, even here in the USA.
I'm really surprised the BBC hasn't turned this into a podcast yet. The Pastcod Podcast.
They are good, but they were better when served hot in newspapers. I think the printer's ink must have added something to the flavor. Or perhaps it just seemed more exotic to me, and American, because we didn't sell our food that way.
isn’t ink poisonous???

Wow!! I didn't eat this in my life , but from that combination I can guess its delicacy.
Lmao. Fish and chips is not no Damm delicacy. Fried fish and fries/chips is sold in almost every country and is a simple dish.
its delish
Grow up
?????@@chesterfield5704
As a British I can say I have fish and chips every Friday cod is my favourite
I remember before the new normal, greed and government agenda, poor people could afford a chippy dinner😭
Wonderful
It’s simple, fish and chips!

i love good food

the way the fries were done, the way the fish was done... fish was good but just the way the fries were so like air and crispy same time it was like ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Thank you so much
That 1968 date is wrong. It was about 1980 I remember it being outlawed and it was definitely not when I was 4!
“No cooking was allowed in jewish homes” ??? What???
During the Sabbat, no labor is permitted, including cooking, so a lot of Jews purchase a lot of prepared food to eat during that day.
@@KrasMazovHatesYourGuts So interesting.. thank you!
@@KrasMazovHatesYourGuts I thought this was common knowledge
Another dish that stems from that rule is cholent, a stew that is put in the stove the day before Sabbath to slow cook for a whole day.

Chip shop spice? Whaaaaat?
Very British
Fishy People 😂
It’s not a Jewish invention, it was brought by the Sephardic Jews from Iberian Spain and Portugal and the battering was exported early on by the Portuguese to whole world including Japan with the famous tempura.
There you go history explained
They never said the Jewish created it, just that they brought it here.
Antisemites are weird.
Nz fish in chip is made by Japanese
Only one time a year? The Japanese eat sushi every week
Bring back the beef fat. Seed oils kill
I thought fish and chips would be our national dish but it is not.
🇬🇧 🐟
The question is, is it a sephardic jew invention, or something they brought from Portugal or Spain?
🇪🇦🇵🇹
Potaytays
Australia does fish and chips better
BBC (All): With a hit of vinegar and the punch of salt
BBC (All): It's unbeatable
*American fast food has entered the game*
how can the British have a greasy meal like this with no green veggies in it? I believe they know deep-fried food makes you sleepy during the day and thus stupid. Do they know, or do they care?
Mushy peas are often served with it.
you sir have water on the brain and should seek help.
Jewish invention....Amazing..

The Iberian jews that fled Spain and Portugal in the inquisition brought them to the UK
England is not an island, it has land borders with both Scotland and Wales.
Boring...
UK has the most terrible gastronomy in the world. Unhealthy, uncreative. Blah.
Have you ever been to the UK and tried any traditional regional foods? Unhealthy, most of the time yes. Uncreative, certainly not.
dropped on your head a few times were we?
Daniel: Not anymore. It is highly multi-national now. Lots of. immigrants from all over. It is said that the world's best Indian food. can be found in London.
@@milascave2 That's true. Multicultural mix makes great art & food.
still tasty
Petatays
fries!!!!!
Yes this ur national dish
Don't steal Butter chicken from India. U have stolen enough already
Chicken Tikka Masala is a Scottish invention, not Indian
We gave much more than we took and it's been sad watching you guys let it rust and fall apart for the last 75 years.
