Fish & Chips
Fish and chips is the definitive dish of London cuisine. Its simple flavors have made it a national favorite ever since it appeared in the late 1800s. Hence, eating this sumptuous dish could make you feel like you are taking a bite out of English history. Indeed, the dish has seen London and the rest of the country through good and bad times.
Chippies, as the British call it, include a serving of crisp, deep-fried cod or haddock together with hot potato chips. Add in some mushy peas, tartar sauce, malt vinegar, and lemon and you have a well-balanced meal. Indeed, it is packed with proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, iron, and vitamins. Most locals tend to have this as a takeaway item. However, the option to dine in is available in restaurants around the city. Remember, no trip to London is complete unless you eat fish and chips wrapped in newspaper while you are there. |
