I feel like a whole episode on just regional differences of UK chippies is definitely needed.

[frederickvondinkerberg]

wow skipping the chip butty should be a criminal offence

[UncleJackOnline]

i miss the bag of scraps i used to get from me local chippy as a kid. Was the bits of batter that fell off the fish as it was placed in the top shelf to drain, sometimes you would get a chuck of tail and a handful of chips thrown in, loadsa salt and vinegar, then sittin on the kerb outside and eating it quick before the paper dissolved

[CraigGrannell]

UK: here is a battered leviathan and a sack of potatoes!

US: here is something a child might eat at school and a handful of fries.

For once, the UK comes out way ahead on this show.

American fish looks like the frozen stuff you get here in the UK

[ashcoggins]

I can't handle dandelion and burdock being compared to cream soda. I love both but they have completely different flavour's! I will say though I haven't tried that brand in particular.

[Salfordian]

I as an Englishman call the thin ones 'fries' but the thicker ones which Americans don't seem to do 'chips'

[jaysmith]

If she thinks Dandelion and Burdock tastes like Cream Soda she needs to get her taste buds checked.

[mariannetuite]

Definitely not just a “London thing” to be able to get fried/roasted chicken at a chippy. It’s available pretty widely at every one I’ve visited in the Midlands

"The chip butty is just confusing"... You didn't even try it so you have no right to comment. The fact you refused to eat what is considered by the majority of Brits as a chip shop staple is just dumb.

[RandoRobbo]

90% of the time Harry says England, he means London.

[thomasedwards]

From New Zealand and fish and chips is a staple here, some fish and chips shops use newspapers to serve but have a protective layer to protect the food.

[peterlowry]

In Northern Ireland, and I think Scotland too, you can order a 'supper' which basically means 'and chips'. So I would have ordered a fish supper or sausage supper growing up.

[AmarverMinhas]

FYI the Fanta she drank used to be it's own drink called lilt.

[reecedignan]

Chips, cheese and curry sauce is one of the best simple dishes you can make when you just want something simple.

Also as a Scot I have to note.
Irn Bru tastes like Irn Bru, there is no other taste but Irn Bru

[def_not_dan]

If your haddock is fishy, it's not fresh.

[yvczojk]

She skipped the chip butty?
Also, yeah that bun she had looked harsh, better with just sliced white bread.
The chippy butty is so good, an American friend moved her parents over from the US and her dad says it's the greatest food invention ever and that he wishes he'd come across it earlier in life.

[Patrick-qz]

Being from a fishing family Cod is indeed the biggest selling fish in the U.K but if you go to the historic fishing ports they all eat Haddock. Reason …it’s just so much more tasty!

[MattMcQueen]

I'd imagine that every fish and chip shop in Scotland also serves chicken (usually in batter), so it's not just a London thing. As well as sausage in batter, in Scotland we also do black pudding, haggis (of course), both in batter, and steak (or ashet) pie. We can also get Scotch pies. I'm not sure if it's served anywhere outside Scotland, but we have pizza in batter, also called a Pizza Crunch.

Pretty insulting to use Long John Silver's as a point of comparison.
