While living in England, I have been trying many new foods. Food is a fun way to learn about a new place. One special food I tried is called fish and chips, which is very popular in the United Kingdom.
I tried fish and chips in Scotland last weekend when I went on a short trip. During the week, I also tried other foods like pasta, chicken meals, snacks, desserts and café drinks.
I already like fish, but I had not tried English fish in a very long time. I wanted to try it again to remember the taste and learn how it is different. When I ate it, I felt happy and excited. It was crispy, warm and very filling. Eating it with an American friend made it even more fun.
Fish and chips are made by dipping fish in batter and frying it until it is crispy. The chips are potatoes that are cut and fried. In the United Kingdom, chips are what we call fries. The food is served hot and is often eaten with sauce.
