    It’s fine now but some “staples” of our cuisine are trash. If you value your low blood pressure, don’t go into threads about people asking for food recommendations while visiting Britain. It’s just full of people recommending actual garbage like fish and chips from a take away. Are people delusional? I’ve been to dozens of chippies across the country, and save one meal at the Magpie in Whitby, I’ve never had a chippy tea that’s lived up to expectations.

    Recommend a good haggis or something rather than the bland meme food.

        I like fish and chips from an actual restaurant or homemade. With the exception of the Magpie in Whitby, which is a restaurant with an attached take away, every take away fish and chips I’ve had has been flavourless chunks of varying textures.

            Sure, if you insist. Though the barrier for “nice” is really low. If you like beer that isn’t Stella or Carling, you’re not calling beer trash in general.

              Your comparison doesn’t make sense. You are saying and chips in general is trash, but you like it when it’s high quality. However, beer in general is not trash, but you only like it when it is at least medium quality.

              It sounds like you like both things, just not when they are bad.

                That’s what I’ve been saying. I’ve only ever been calling bad things bad. I was saying that fish and chips from a take away is bad and shouldn’t be recommended as some exemplar of British cuisine

      The Wee Chippy in Anstruther and Oh My Cod in Larnaca, Cyprus are the two best chippies in the world
