'Whenever I think of what is quintessential British food, fish and chips immediately comes to mind. Fortunately, growing up in Canada, fish and chips were plentiful and popular. I could easily find restaurants specializing in them and given that I grew up on the West coast and the majority of my extended family lived on the East coast, a good chipper was never too far away. However, with that being said, nothing really compares in terms of quality to the fish and chips you can get in Britain. They\'re original, authentic and greasy as can be. Come join us as we sample a box in London at a local park.

In my hands I have a box of delicious take-out. This is fish and chips an authentic British staple and we\'re going to sample it here at this local park. Time for the big unveil. Do do do do. Woah! Okay, the last one too. Oh, it looks like they gave us guacamole. Are you serious? I\'ve never had guacamole with fish and chips. So I\'m really excited to finally try the fish and chips. The aroma coming out of this box is just wonderful. And I think this is a dish that most people are familiar with in North America. You can also get fish and chips there. But in case you\'re not it is usually just breaded cod or haddock and you get it with chips are french fries. So enough talking about food. This is the real deal. Let\'s actually dig in. Mmmmm. I\'m going to start with a chip. And that is not guacamole. Mmmm. I have no idea what that is. Mushy peas? I think I\'m having mushy peas. It is not guacamole. Oh my gosh. Hahahaha. Why would there be guacamole? I don\'t know. Mexican influence. Oh, I\'m going to dunk that into the tartar sauce. Wow. That\'s amazing. I think that is pretty much my favorite British food. Absolutely love fish and chips. It is something I\'ve been eating all of my life but they just do it extra special over here. It is authentic and it is really really amazing. And you have a few pigeons trying to steal your food. They are slowly inching their way over. Oooh. Oooh. So what kind of historical or background information can you can give us on fish and chips. Well, I can tell you today, this day in history that we spent about two minutes to finish that off. All that is left is a little bit of sauce and grease. Now some history about the dish. The first shop opened up in 1860 and so I guess it has only been around for a hundred and fifty years. That is hard to believe. So fish and chips are kind of new. Yeah, and I\'ve been eating them for about 30 of those years. And price point. So in terms of price we paid 12 pounds which I guess if you\'re earning a local salary isn\'t so bad but if you\'re bringing over your Canadian dollars you\'re getting pounded by the exchange currently. Anyways, yeah, that was really good. It was enough food for the two of us. I mean, I probably could have ate my own but that is only because I\'m a pig. This is part of our Travel in England series. We\'re making a series of videos showcasing English culture, English arts, English foods, English religion, English cuisine and English people.
