How do you prefer to eat your fish and chips?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once named \u201cthe good companions\u201d by Winston Churchill, fish and chips has been a staple of British cuisine for more than 150 years. The dish isn\u2019t hard to find, as there are eight <\/span>chippies <\/span><\/a>for every branch of McDonald\u2019s in <\/span>Britain<\/span><\/a>. Just as the neon sign of an American fast food restaurant glows after dark, the local chippie is open late to ensure locals and <\/span>travelers<\/span><\/a> can enjoy their helping of flaky fried fish and salty chips at all hours. Whether you prefer yours with salt, vinegar, or mushy peas — no one can resist the classic combination. <\/span><\/p>\n

Humble Chip Beginnings <\/b><\/h2>\n

The epic duo goes back as far as the 17th century, to either Belgium or France. The chip is said to have been invented as a substitute for the fish when the river froze over and the food was scarce. Resourceful chefs would cut potatoes into the shape of fish, and fry it for the evening meal. It was around this time that Jewish refugees from Portugal introduced fried fish. It\u2019s believed that the first \u201cchippie\u201d was started by John Lees. He ran it out of a wooden hut at Mossley market in industrial Lancashire. <\/span><\/p>\n

Served Properly<\/b><\/h2>\n

It turns out that wrapping a meal in a newspaper isn\u2019t the most hygienic practice, which is why you won\u2019t see any chippies serving their fish and chips in that style. Instead, the British meal is served on a styrofoam tray or a cardboard restaurant box. You\u2019re handed a tiny wooden fork and pointed towards a table equipped with malt vinegar and salt. The comically small fork serves as symbolic encouragement to use your hands, which is why you\u2019ll find ample napkins throughout the establishment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy with a strong tea, light beer, or your favorite carbonated soda drink. You\u2019ll need something fizzy to cut through the greasy, delectable, magical meal. <\/span><\/p>\n
