Fish and chips is a combination of two separate food traditions: fried fish, brought to London by Portuguese and Spanish Jewish immigrants, and fried potatoes (chips), which became popular in the industrial north of England.
Hurrah for immigrants.

One day, when the grift has run out of steam, these people are going to have to try and get normal jobs with normal people, and that will be very, VERY funny to watch. https://t.co/49YHR2RIuO

You won’t be eating potatoes then they were imports so forget about the chips they are from the Americas and only became popular in the 1800s.

British food isn’t “the best”, no one national cuisine is “the best”. There are some excellent British dishes as there are from the gastronomic traditions from other countries and cultures. The majority of us have moved beyond racism, rickets and rissoles.

Not only is this thoroughly improbable but it’s hilariously out of touch.
There are few things that cut across Britain’s class and regional divides as well as liking curry or grabbing a kebab after a night out.
That’s before we even come to pizza. https://t.co/Q9tLyXG6fg
