All right, the English may not be most famous for their culinary talent, although many fine chefs have appeared over the past years. One example of British food is the all-time classic Fish and Chips (and it is gaining ground in The Netherlands, too!). The proper way to eat your Fish and Chips is from an old newspaper, but putting it on your favourite plate is fine by us. Serve your dish hot to make sure your fish has a crispy crust. Not one for gluten-free diets, though.
