So bright orange, I had never seen anything like it. The bacon was another highlight. Unlike the bacon I was used to back home, it had a different texture and flavor that I absolutely loved. It was not too crispy but not too floppy, and the taste was just amazing. If you ever go to the UK and like bacon at home, you have to try it here. You will be amazed!
The haggis, however, was a scary experience for me. I was in Scotland with my cousin, and he was telling me that we absolutely had to try it while we were there. I am happy I got to try it, although I can’t say it is something I will order again. My cousin loved it, but for me, there was something about knowing what it is that made me not enjoy the meal as much. On the upside, I loved the Cullen skink! I was proud of myself for trying local cuisine even when I was unsure if I would like it. Although the haggis was not for me, next time I go to Scotland I will be ready to order Cullen skink like a pro.
How the food is prepared depends on where you get it. For example, fish and chips at a pub in London can be very different from what you get at a seaside shop, like the one I visited in Sheringham. Most places use fresh fish rather than fish that has been frozen for a long time. Depending on how close they are to the sea, some shops receive fresh fish deliveries every morning, while others get them once a week. This means that when you eat fish in the United Kingdom, it is usually very fresh, and I think you can taste the difference! By the end of my time abroad, I'll be a fish and chips pro just because of how much I've eaten!
In Sheringham, they actually fried the fish right in front of me.
