Gastronomy


The "fast food" popular in the UK is “fish and chips”. Stores that sold fish made ​​their first appearance in the finals of nineteenth century and since then, the “fish and chips” is the favorite dish throughout the country. The dish is simple: fish (usually cod) is passed through a mixture made of flour, eggs and water and then fried in hot oil. Potatoes are also deep fried.
The best known British dish is the roast beef, which is traditionally eaten on Sundays. The dish was so popular in England that the French still refer to the British as 'les roast beef'. The roast is served with roasted potatoes, vegetables and 'gravy - a sauce made ​​from the juice of the meat and broth, thickened with flour. Yorkshire pudding - thick mass based on flour and water baked in hot lard - is the favorite accompaniment of roast meat.
