    Imagine this: Its January , its 5pm and its pitch black, windy and it's been raining for 3 months straight. You eventually leave work and walk home in the rain, on your way back you pick up a chippy tea. You get home soaking and cold, you go into the kitchen, open up that bag and then the smell and steam hits you. You then lie on the sofa for an hour, stuffing your face and watching TV - that is the majesty of fish n chips, sir, right there!

      Irn Bru is also our nation's soft drink. A full Scottish fry up also. There's a Full English which is great but the Full Scottish has so much more going on. Namely, the square sausage and potato scones (tattie scones)
      Also, sausage rolls and steak pasties and steak pies are more staple foods.
      We do great stews and casseroles in the UK as well. And be sure to go to a great Indian restaurant as the British Indian food is incredible!

      Please, for your sake, get rid of whoever that Rupert is that is feeding you savaloy and telling you to use cutlery, only in London. Whitby is the best place but nowhere much south of Birmingham is worth it, you probably had Cod too, its haddock up north, major difference being that haddock has flavour. If you leave London you can try a proper fish cake too that has never seen mashed potato or breadcrumbs. You literally couldn't have found a worse place within these Isles than the enclave colony of Londumb. It would be less offensive to be having a battered Mars bar in Glasgow and being told that's traditional. Get rid of the Rupert who clearly only ever had fish and chips on his gap yah from private school the absolute muppet.

    I think Americans who say fish & chips is bad generally fall into two camps - either people who've never tried it and just believe the old line about all English food being bad, or people who have had some incredibly poor imitation in a restaurant/bar back home. The first of those probably dates back to tales from soldiers stationed here during WWII, when the country's food ingredients were rationed, or maybe a bit of snobbery from other countries due to the fact that British cuisine is 'comfort food', rather than fine dining.

    • @chris1london

      There's a 3rd camp: They had it in a tourist trap place in London, usually a pub where they just heat something up instead of doing it properly like a chippy would. Greenwich is a hot-spot for those kinds of places. Fish & Chips needs to be from a dedicated fish & chip shop. Occasionally a restaurant will do a good job, but usually not.

    Yes, but you have to completely drown the Fish and the Chips in malt vinegar (Sarsons) and cover them in salt, before you eat them. Vinegar before salt. And far more of both than you think you need. That's the only way to eat them properly; especially in the North of England, where they originated.

    • @VEETEEARR
