Why has Fish & Chips ever become a national Dish for Britain?!
I have been living in Britain for the last for years but why has Fish & Chips become a traditional National British Dish!. I just can't get my head around it as it's so simple FISH AND CHIPS that's all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
From the very beginning fish and chipped potatoes have been recognised by the great mass of the British population as providing a nourishing meal and offering good value for money!. Even today, with many competitive products being offered in the take-away and fast food trades, the traditional British fish and chip shop is still the leader in this particular field!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Burgers & fries are simple too but there aren't as many burger joints than Fish-&-Chips in the UK (thank heavens!) - that's why it's the 'National Food'!.
Having said that, American fast food is huge in Asian cities/towns because it is very well packaged commercially!. Fish shops!? You can count them with one hand which is a great pity - British companies are lousy in marketing anything!. Globally, they are minnows as compared to American, Japanese giants (sushi shops are rivalling American names in numbers/popularity!.)
Britain is surrounded by sea; catch of the ocean naturally influence eating habits of populace!. Beef needs vast tracts of land, expensive to breed therefore Britain's topography is not conducive to cattle breeding on large commercial scale!.
Fish & chips anyday for me; McDonald's maybe once a year - i call their 'food' McPuke!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
