Living and traveling in the UK comes with lots of eating. Whether I am at my home base in London, or traveling around to Wales, Scotland or the seaside in England, I am always looking for places to eat. I have tried lots of things since I’ve been here, between foods I have heard of before, such as fish and chips, or things completely new to me, like haggis. It has been an interesting experience getting to eat everything in the UK, but it has been super fun, too. Most of the foods have been great, although there are definitely a few that I think I will stay away from, from now on. There are a few standouts for me that I am excited to share with you!
Across the UK, I have tried a lot of traditional meals. Fish and chips are a staple here and it is one of my favorites, so I have had it a lot. In England, there is a seaside town called Sheringham and I had the best fish and chips ever. The fish and chips is good in London, too, but locals will tell you that to get the real deal, you have to go to the sea. After trying the fish and chips in Sheringham, I agree!
There is also the traditional English breakfast, which I have gotten in England, Scotland and Wales, and it varies slightly depending on where you are. Traditionally, it has eggs, hashbrowns, sausage, bacon, toast, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and black pudding.
