    Fish and Chips?

    Are British people particular about the food they eat? Is Fish and Chips really THAT popular in the UK? What food can be considered originally English?

    I've heard American breakfast is quite filling and not particulary healthy.

    If you go to a proper kebab shop they are delicous and many Phills i know love them. The rough and ready kebab takeaways are another thing

    Fish and chips you can't beat.

    British have loads of wonderful food and like all countries plenty of regional dishes and versions.

    If i went to a mall in manila i would think phill food eeww just as i do in the UK high street. Both countries the best food is that cooked in homes or in cafes or resturants with an expereienced cook not fast food junk

    All I'll I say is yes, we do eat Fish and Chips a lot, most of our Fish and Chip shops are owned by Chinese families it seems..In the Philippines they seem to eat a lot of rice, in Britain we eat a lot of potatoe I think..

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.

    All we've had for the last week in the hotel is;
    Sliced sausage....looks like hot dog....tastes like dog!
    Sausage that looks like a burger, but just tastes of spices..
    Biscuits....THEY ARE BLOODY SCONES U STUPID YANKS
    Scrambled eggs with cheese....sliced!!! All you can taste is pepper.
    Waffles that aren't real English waffles....POTATO not FLOUR
    Blueberry & chocolate muffins...IT'S BREAKFAST U IDIOTS
    Cereal....multi-coloured chemical ridden crap hoops
    Coffee's nice though!!!!

    Fish and Chips - GREAT! - Fry Up! - GRAND!

    But the biggest selling British dish of them all, apparently invented in Glasgow.....

    Chicken Tikka Masala - Wonderful!

    Traditional British food, hhhmmmm, lancashire hot pot, toad in the hole, bread and butter pudding, steak and kidney pie, roast beef and yorkshire pud, somerset pork n cider, lots more I am sure but most of the above I have tried at least once since returning from Asia after several years.
