@@IamMcLovin69 sure, but not in England, I've yet to have fish and chips outside of England better than England. It's usually super heavy and thick batter that's crunchy more than crispy. Also the chips (fries), they've also perfected how to fry potatoes. French fries are almost garbage in comparison.
@@PWCDN May I ask which fish and chip store you recommend? I went to the one in borough market (fish! restaurant) that is supposedly award-winning and the best, what i got is a soggy disppointment, super thin batter all steamed wet with meh fries that arent fresh. Also tried a store in southampton city centre (sibs fish and chips), again, soggy fish and chips. These two experiences basically got me reluctant to pay a hefty fortune for some low-effort deep fried food, i need good recommendations, thank you!
@@PWCDN the fish part, I'll agree with, but you got me fckd up on the fries. Those chips look like they go well with the fish, but in no way shape or form are they better than mcdonalds or Chick-fil-A fries. I'm not sure if you've had those, but those would absolutely dog on those chips.
As a Brit I have a couple pointers for your next experience. Mushy peas is more of a condiment than a side so you would eat it with the fish or chips. The curry sauce is meant to be eaten with the whole dish as a pouring or dipping sauce. It’s weird they didn’t let you but the sausage seperate. Pickled eggs are an old tradition and usually kept as a sign of a good fish and chip shop ( however most people won’t buy one except maybe some old folk). And finally the term you are looking for to describe the place is a ‘chippy’. Glad you enjoyed 😁
aye gotta agree with this chap above but take heed if you go to a chippy up north we tend to do gravy with our fish and chips and the same rules apply for me the order is fish chips , mushy peas and then drown it all in gravy before lashing of salt and vingar
The English mush all of their peas and push them onto the back of a fork which goes upside down into the mouth. They do not use a fork to “spoon” whole peas into their mouth right side up.
Also as a Brit, this video is a beautiful mix of confusion and happiness and encapsulates almost every UK visitor's emotions when having fish and chips for the first time. The double-take when the curry sauce hit had me absolutely rolling too.
Just a shame when they get crap fish & chips, told a guy from America to try them when he went to London, he wasn't impressed, I said It's because you were down south the foods shite, get up North, that's where the proper homemade food and fish & chips is best. Im from Lancashire and have had plenty in my time but the best by far was in a tiny village, just outside a small village called Oakworth in the Yorkshire dales, it was snowing outside and stopped in a pub up a winding hill at night, the Fish & chips were out of this world, I can taste them now they were that good 😋
@drdoovey5425 I've been all around Britain, the only place/part I've never been to is London and I have no real desire to do either, shame the North of England, Ribble Valley, Yorkshire dales etc get so overlooked by tourists compared to that dump down south, although it might be a good thing, god knows ha although I'd rather have a few tourists than half the planet moving here 😉
personally from someone born and raised in a port town in the UK the best way to eat fish and chips for me is to have the salt and vinegar on the entire portion of fish and chips and something we refer to as a "splash" is to just pour the curry over the entire thing like it's gravy at a roast. You should definitely try this in your free time if you find yourself getting it again Ben love to see you enjoying our food over here with having alot of people outside of the UK shi**ing on it constantly without even trying it, keep up the amazing content dude.
Just another thing you should 100% try a "Chip butty splash" since you seemed to really enjoy the chip shop chip and curry combo. It's a big bun filled with chip shop chips and a heep of curry, very good for on the go or a quick meal.
Our traditional food is better than many Northern/Eastern European countries. Not on the world class level though, too starchy carbohydrate heavy generally.
They always over complicate the humble "chip butty". Single slice of thickly buttered bread 5-6 thick sliced chips/fries seasoned(salt vinegar) with sauce of your choice...And that is it. Americans tend to prioritise two slices thick bread no butter... Anything "butty" is emphasis on the butter part.
As a Brit I'd like to add The peas go with the fish meal, the curry goes with the sausage meal and the chips get all the salt and vinegar. Nobody buys the pickles and 50 buck is crazy for that 😮
Like others have said, as a Brit, seeing someone enjoy our food is such a great feeling, you take it to another level tho, love your passion, honesty and how you just dig in,please keep making these kinda videos.
You need to go to a local pub for a Traditional roast dinner, in London won’t be cheap as everything expensive but find a non chain pub that’s sells one.
As someone from northern Germany who went to England in their last study year, I can tell you these mf know what they’re doing when it comes to fish n chips. 7 days 7 different spots and all were 10/10 ngl
@@muslihhm7534 I don't remember at all sorry, they were mostly random Restaurants all over the place like Canterburry, London etc. The only one I remember was right next to the London Eye
I realised that you liked the chips when you started eating them like they’re belt fed! It’s so good to see somebody just enjoying eating! Don’t ever edit out the eating sounds!
As someone from outside the UK and who lived a few years in Glasgow, I can practically hear Scottish people yelling that the vinegar is for the chips "ya numpty!". Best chips I've ever had were from my fav chip shop in Kirkintilloch. Fried in lard, good amount of vinegar and salt. Didn't need anything else.
I watched the Greggs video , and then this was recommended. I have to say, I love his enthusiasm for the food. It's interesting to see someone try food for the first time when you've been eating it your whole life. Our foods been the butt of jokes for years. The funniest thing about that, is the people saying our food is crap are the ones who've never left their own country. The people who actually travel and try things for themselves seem to have a positive experience. There's nothing better than getting to try a food you've never had before. One more thing. The lad can put his food away, can't he. He's got a healthy appetite 😀
I agree, a lot of people repeat what they've heard. Those comments are war time and post war rationing comments. The UK has fresh and flavorful food. Besides people repeating old information, I think the issue is you can get some pretty bland foods in some places. Tourist areas and touristy pubs, etc. I will always eat where the locals eat, no matter what country I'm in. Having parents from the UK and growing up with that type of food, and a mother that knew how to cook. I see the difference if someone didn't put in an effort or any seasoning. And it is always in a tourist area. People need to explore and try new things. Favorite new things have been seaweed infused cheese in Wales, and Cullen Skink soup in Scotland.❤
As an Englishman myself, one thing I can say is that when visiting e.g. a lot of countries in mainland Europe such as Spain or France, eating in the little corner cafés that over here would basically be "greasy spoon" type of places, where you'd be lucky to get an instant coffee and a sandwich with unseasoned cold cuts, over there you'd get like, some kind of side salad and garlic-based spread or mayonnaise, and it would be great quality at a cheap price. I think the _average_ quality standard in other places is higher than it is here. But that's not the same as saying all British food is crap, you just have to know where to look. Fish and chips is an obvious staple, I can't have it too often anymore but a good chippy is a nice treat. I am also very partial to a good Sunday roast at e.g. a carvery, or slow cooked stews, or e.g. chicken and mushroom or steak and ale pies. (Just not a big fan of pork pie lol) And then a lot of British Indian food here is, as far as I can tell, the equivalent of Mexican food in the US, and it's bloody amazing.
yeahhh i just started watching his videos recently and that's my fav bit too lmaoo, I usually hate watching people eat but I don't really mind because I'm more focuses on the snapping and way he eats than the noises or how much I don't like it aha, and plus I watch my videos on 1.5x speed so its even funnier
A good sample for suggestion would be the saveloy sausage, and haddock is good as its slightly saltier than cod. Great vid man and love that the mic is on ur beanie to capture the crunch and munch
Recently started watching this guys videos and he its nice to see somebody giving some proper British food coverage ❤ for anybody wanting to try proper fish and chips, don't be put off by the price of this, this table of food may cost over £40 in London but its less than half that price in the rest of the country 🙏
Fish and Chips can vary so much throughout Britain. London is pricy, often as a tourist trap. I live in Derbyshire and we have a chip shop in Ripley that is wonderful. Fish and Chips is the ultimate comfort food for me. So glad you liked it.
@earthreacts4056 So what ur saying is,Southerners can't make a simple batter mix,or cook chips.Ive eaten them up north and down south.Absolutely zero difference .Typical thick northern thing to say.
@@bwilson5401lmao definitely isn't, Whitby area is by far the best, fresh fish caught and sent straight to suppliers rather than frozen for God knows how long, clearly you have the taste buds of a toddler
They not french Fries, totally different thing, chips are suppose to be fat and made back in the day yourself with potatoes and a fryer. Mac Donald’s fried are disgusting
man you so needed to try the mushy peas with chips together. that's what its all about. i'm happy you enjoyed the fish and chips. a great British tradition. i cant say Ive seen pickle or pickled eggs in a chippy before but I live northern England, so perhaps its more of a thing down south or I just haven't cared enough to notice. you are most likely right, they're probably from a tub that's been sitting for weeks. glad it was an enjoyable overall experience for you.
My God that made me hungry. So good to see (and hear!!!!) a visitor enjoying Fish & Chips so much. Kudos for going for the full order of sides too, though I can honestly say I've never been brave enough to ask for a pickled egg before. They usually look like they've been in the jar on the counter for over a decade.
People say that English food is bland. But no, it’s just undervalued. I’ve lived in the UK for over 25 years and, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without a battered sausage ❤
The reason I think they say that is because we have way less ingredients due to regulations and shipping regulations there's just certain stuff your not allowed at all or really low amounts if you look at American ingredients they have alot more shiz in them
@jakmclean6163 not everything needs to filled with spices but yeah that's probably one reason people think that. Nothing is bland though that's what really annoying to see people say.
As a Brit who lived around London for years, I’m always shocked at the price you’re paying for this food. £55 for fish and chips! I’d pay around £15 for that in the South West! Chip shop chips if fried correctly are the best chips/fries out there, however, they have to be crisp on the outside, soft in the middle with the edges and smaller chips/flakes being golden!
It's horrible how much its increased...London is the last place I would buy. When I worked In the sector it was less than £5 for cod and chips at a highly respected chippy...Talking perfect fish and chips with an hours queue. Ok that was twenty years ago.....
in the UK we joke about how no ones gets a pickled egg yet they are always sold. So much so we believe the pickled eggs are just on displays for years on end hahaha
Ben! Salt and Vinegar. On. Your. CHIPS!!! and a dash of pepper for a little extra flavour! Pepper on the fish with the lemon is also great! 😉 The sausage in batter is usually a bit more well cooked, and tastes good with a little mustard and ketchup or bbq sauce, and unfortunately your missing the essential part.. some bread!(and butter!) You can dip the bread, make a chip butty or fish sarnie with a little ketchup etc etc😋
@@gmarshall101 ooooh! a little brown/ hp is always great too!(on any part of your fish/sausage/chick etc and chips meal) 😉*thinking battered with hp, chip buttie with ketchup for lunch now!
Pro tip if the chippy allows it/isn't too busy: ask for double fried chips. Crucially, not fried for twice as long. Fried to about 85 percent doneness, taken out and allowed to expel steam/cool for about a minute, and re-fried to finish them off. The crispiness goes off the charts, and they also stay crunchy for longer because they've had a chance to get rid of some of the internal water that normally makes chips go soggy.
@@billyburrett7863 offensive? What are you on? Vast majority of places i've been to and the one i've worked at would say double fried or refried, not that blanched is wrong but you certainly wouldn't offend anyone by not using it.
@Nefariousbig I've worked in a chippy for 11 years mate, I'm just saying the majority do not like the frase, say it if you wanna be that bitchy about it
People usually assume refried means its been sat there and refried to heat up, which actually makes the food taste stale, if you worked in a chippy like you say you did you would know that, can you imagine taking out cod it sat there for 25 minutes then refrying it? Just say Blanch it will save you hassle
Just the sound makes me SO hungry for fish and chips!!!! 🤤🤤🤤 Born in Philippines, but I grew up in North UK in the 80's... having beer battered fish and chips, "scrap" (extra batter left over), vinegar, salt and mush peas on newspaper wrapping was MAGIC! ❤
So glad you loved the fish n chips! Remember to add the salt and vinegar to just the chips for next time 😊 would be great to know your thoughts on a Sunday roast, afternoon tea and our chocolates!
I feel like they're put on display to trick tourists more than anything, I don't know anyone who eats them, and I'm from up North where almost everything comes with a coating of vinegar! 😂
Pickled eggs are a stinky and acquired taste it has to be said. My old dad used to buy jars of them from the Aldi and enjoyed them immensely. Not me though - it really isn't hard to boil a half dozen eggs. Now what the Chinese do with eggs is amazing. Tea eggs, Hundred year old eggs, intriguing. Yet Piss Eggs are a thing - they need the piss of young boys to make authentic ones. I nope nope out at that. Give me hard boiled eggs in a jar of vinegar any day.
I appreciate how you don't smack your lips while you eat. You actually chew at a great pace enough to quickly provide your viewers with what you immediately think literally right after completely tasting the food. Thank you for really focusing on the review the entire time with so much more information while enjoying your food. Your hunger is also satisfying to see because we can tell you're enjoying every bite.
As a Brit I'd like to say there's a difference between chips and fries, that's why those aren't your typical golden skinny fries. The typical British chip is much more chunky and more mushy inside. Then you also have fries which are your typical golden skinny fry that you find in America or most fast food places.
yeah its the same as biscuits vs cookies, really i call them distinct things as the biscuit is so different to the american cookie. not equivalent at all!
@@AcesH1gh yeah it's very confusing lmao, the two languages aren't quite distinct enough like mexican spanish and mainland spanish to justify full separation, either
We have those types of fries in America. They’re usually called steak fries and they’re thicker like those ones. Those are typically what served in a fish and chips in America
Posting fish & chips on a Friday, this guy understands the culture! And the algorithm, haha. As a Brit though, I can assure you that a lot of us don’t “get” pickled eggs either. They’re rancid! 🤢
Literally no one orders the egg and pickle. Vast majority of people stick with fish and chips, tartare sauce, ketchup, curry, and mushy peas. Its all you need. (and vinegar and salt)
Lovely to watch someone eat UK chippy for the first time! Considering popping to the chippy after this 🤣🤣 I always have fish chips and mushy peas and tartar sauce. I also prefer without salt and vinegar but if I do have it just sprinkle a bit on 😂 so many people love loads of salt and vinegar! Especially smokers I think. Battered sausage is more a southern England or Scottish thing, only recently came to the north west England I'd say, definitely wasn't a thing in 90s. The sausage from chippy is very salty and processed, I couldn't eat it without a drink 🤣 you've found a good chippy there I think, as sometimes you can get soggy batter haha
Love the mushy peas assessment: 7:35 "These taste like peas mushed up....did not expect that but I do mess with it" I'm looking forward to see what other UK dishes, you decide to mess with.
Goes to show how much processed crap we eat without us even realising half the time, even soups are full of preservatives so pure mushed peas with some simple seasoning is surprisingly tasty lmao.
@@BobJones-vj3tc I'm just talking about anything tinned realistically, soup can be a placeholder word since Ben mentioned split pea but anything tinned is gonna be laden with preservatives for obvious shelf life reasons.
FYI, the sausage goes in the curry sauce (for me at least) as well as the chips, mushy peas also go on the chips and the salt and vinegar goes all over the chips.
The curry sauce goes on EVERYTHING, fish especially, no questions asked! Although yeah, if there was tartare sauce there also I would save that for the fish and the everything else gets the curry. :-)
Curry + Battered Sausge is 100% the way to go. It's amazing when it's a good sausage. Unfortunately, there are some rogue chippies out there that offer subpar sausage
In Nottingham there are places that just sell cups of mushy peas with or without mint sauce, usually at the fair etc. So they definitely aren't just a condiment
LOVE your channel and your enthusiasm, you tackled that fish and chip supper like a champion! Salt and vinegar goes on the chips (not the fish 😄), along with the curry sauce, and ketchup. Leave the tartare sauce for the fish, along with the mushy peas (which are indeed just mushed sweet gorgeous green garden peas), and the lemon, perfect classic dish!! Vinegar, pickled gherkin and pickled egg - are nicely tart and really cut through endless amounts of potato ( chips). Egg and pickle is an excellent way of preserving a glut of foods (especially in war time) and they are cheap, as are chips (classic British phrase ("cheap as chips"!)) which is why you might find them in a 'chippy'. Triple fried chips are the best, really crunchy! I mostly just have the fish and mushy peas - that's plenty for me. But the fish, oh the gorgeous lovely buttery cod, in the UK you are never more than 70 miles away from the sea, stick to the fish, every time. Best place to eat fish and chips is by the seaside!
I have one occasionally when I want to be so aggressively assaulted by vinegar flavour that my face scrunches right off. But I like eggs just too much...
Glad you liked it! As with all seafood, it only gets better and tastier the closer you are to the sea. If you ever visit the English coast, be sure to try some fish and chips there.
That used to be true when we had things delivered by horse and cart, but my Mum had a Chippy 50 miles from the Sea and the Fish would arrive in a refrigeratad truck within an hr from the Boat.
the cost is because London , everything you have there would be around £12 - £14 at an average chip shop in Devon or up north in Yorkshire etc ....fish and chips is around £6.50 - £7.50 jumbo sausage & chips probably £3.50 - £4 .
i swear this man just does good reviews and mukbangs but its like hes sitting down with a bunch of homies enjoying a meal that has a little bit of a story behind it nice vibes for sure
that's because no one bloody tries it, "lmao look how shit their food is" - _has never even been in the proximity of British food_ British food is on the whole, very good, it just doesn't really look the part.
Try adding the salt and vinegar to the chips, also put some ketchup to the side to dip the salt and vinegar chips into. Glad to see you're enjoying our food. £55 is way too much, it should have cost max £25 for that meal.
On the North East coast it’s cheaper and better than anywhere else. You should do a trip to York and then Whitby. Both are historic places and quintessentially English.
Loving your enthusiasm for classic British foods. Fish and chips, needs a generous splash of salt and vinegar. This takes everything to another dimension. Go to a costal town, IE Whitby or Grimsby and the fish and chips is 30% better than in any City. Nobody I know ever eats the pickled egg's. That jar is probably 10 years old 😂
I'm Canadian and don't know how they do it in the UK, but here the malt vinegar would be for the fries, and the pickled egg should have a healthy dose of salt and pepper. I'm assuming the curry goes with the sausage as well.
Fact for you: Why the batter is crispier on the Battered sausage, they make those and leave them in an heated lamp for a little while but the fish they make them to order so its more fresher and doesnt dry out.
My usual order from the chippy is chips and fried rice with curry. You get it in the trays, it’s basically half chips, half fried rice with curry sauce on top. It’s absolutely amazing. The sausage dinners are good too, but I’d usually replace the gravy with curry because it just tastes better.
That looks like the cod batter that my Grandma used for her fish and chips when she owned a Diner in the 1950's and 60's here in the States. I still have the recipe which is fantastic. I remember when your chanel only had less than 100k and you lived in this cramped little room. You've come a long way Ben. Proud of you.
As an English teen I'd have to say seeing someone that's not from here loving fish n chips is so nice to watch. In future though you put the salt and vinegar on the chips not the fish well that's what I do anyways lol
I'm a northerner, so Haddock is our fish of choice, but that looked, and sounded, amazing. The crunch on the fish and the batter looked superb. Never oet the curry sauce. Maybe on chips, but it spoils the fish. Mushy Peas are great. Dip your chips in those babies and you'll be well happy.
Lived in London and Winchester. Love fish & chips. You should take a trip up to Scotland and do a video on Chinese food in Edinburgh. Freaking blew my mind. When they use malt vinegar in place of rice vinegar. It’s instantly addictive.
In America we have fish and chips at least in California. We have a place called harbor fish and chips that’s 2 minutes from the ocean. Very good though this looked better. If you live in middle America you probably don’t eat it
Get yourself some Saveloy as well next time you're around. And if you want a delicacy you don't get anywhere else, try the Battered Black Pudding you can get in Dawlish. Glad you loved it!
I'm an Englishman, lived stateside for 5 years but in Michigan, the great lakes... they had some good fish n chips, Holland MI did some good Walleye fish with beer batter and cinnamon, can't lie that was some good scram with the apple slaw and country style fries.
I work with a lovely lady from abroad who had only ever had fish and chips from the likes of street carts and fast food restaurants (as in frozen american style french fries) and didn't think it was all that special. I was, naturally, aghast. So, when we were working overtime one weekend, I took time out to go buy her and myself a proper chip from my local chippy with goujons (we didn't have time for the fish - it's done fresh to order!). Seeing the look of pure happiness on her face was well worth it. That was over a year ago and she still talks about it. A good chip shouldn't taste like a fry at all - they're cooked differently and generally served piping hot with generous amounts of salt and vinegar. She couldn't believe the taste difference.
I've loved this series!!!!! Respect, you did us proud 🇬🇧 THANK YOU. And there's a lot more beautiful british cuisines to explore :) but maybe that's for another time
Fish and chips is so yummy, till about 30 minutes later when you feel so full and think why did I eat all those chips and so quickly too 😊 Glad you liked it.

You need to go to a local pub for a Traditional roast dinner, in London won’t be cheap as everything expensive but find a non chain pub that’s sells one.
As someone from northern Germany who went to England in their last study year, I can tell you these mf know what they’re doing when it comes to fish n chips. 7 days 7 different spots and all were 10/10 ngl
Do you remember all 7 spots? Im interested to know please
@@muslihhm7534I thought he was referring to face-breakouts? 😂
@@Nutrient-Gold I guess the commenter did not specify what was meant by their sentence
I felt the same when I had Currywurst in Munich.
@@muslihhm7534 I don't remember at all sorry, they were mostly random Restaurants all over the place like Canterburry, London etc.
The only one I remember was right next to the London Eye
I realised that you liked the chips when you started eating them like they’re belt fed! It’s so good to see somebody just enjoying eating! Don’t ever edit out the eating sounds!
I have to turn down the volume all the way whenever I hear chewing, as I’m autistic and it drives me absolutely insane, unfortunately 😫
As someone from outside the UK and who lived a few years in Glasgow, I can practically hear Scottish people yelling that the vinegar is for the chips "ya numpty!".
Best chips I've ever had were from my fav chip shop in Kirkintilloch. Fried in lard, good amount of vinegar and salt. Didn't need anything else.
I watched the Greggs video , and then this was recommended. I have to say, I love his enthusiasm for the food. It's interesting to see someone try food for the first time when you've been eating it your whole life.
Our foods been the butt of jokes for years. The funniest thing about that, is the people saying our food is crap are the ones who've never left their own country. The people who actually travel and try things for themselves seem to have a positive experience. There's nothing better than getting to try a food you've never had before.
One more thing. The lad can put his food away, can't he. He's got a healthy appetite 😀
You mean eating like an absolute unmannered gross animal
I agree, a lot of people repeat what they've heard. Those comments are war time and post war rationing comments. The UK has fresh and flavorful food. Besides people repeating old information, I think the issue is you can get some pretty bland foods in some places. Tourist areas and touristy pubs, etc. I will always eat where the locals eat, no matter what country I'm in. Having parents from the UK and growing up with that type of food, and a mother that knew how to cook. I see the difference if someone didn't put in an effort or any seasoning. And it is always in a tourist area. People need to explore and try new things. Favorite new things have been seaweed infused cheese in Wales, and Cullen Skink soup in Scotland.❤
Always makes me hungry does Ben, the food looks good too! Lol the crunch of that fish had me salivating 😂
As an Englishman myself, one thing I can say is that when visiting e.g. a lot of countries in mainland Europe such as Spain or France, eating in the little corner cafés that over here would basically be "greasy spoon" type of places, where you'd be lucky to get an instant coffee and a sandwich with unseasoned cold cuts, over there you'd get like, some kind of side salad and garlic-based spread or mayonnaise, and it would be great quality at a cheap price. I think the _average_ quality standard in other places is higher than it is here.
But that's not the same as saying all British food is crap, you just have to know where to look. Fish and chips is an obvious staple, I can't have it too often anymore but a good chippy is a nice treat. I am also very partial to a good Sunday roast at e.g. a carvery, or slow cooked stews, or e.g. chicken and mushroom or steak and ale pies. (Just not a big fan of pork pie lol) And then a lot of British Indian food here is, as far as I can tell, the equivalent of Mexican food in the US, and it's bloody amazing.
@@mareenalewis4241exactly!!
I watch Ben because he snaps his food like a shark with each bite 😂
And the facial expressions 😂
😂😂
yeahhh i just started watching his videos recently and that's my fav bit too lmaoo, I usually hate watching people eat but I don't really mind because I'm more focuses on the snapping and way he eats than the noises or how much I don't like it aha, and plus I watch my videos on 1.5x speed so its even funnier
😂 same here it’s like he’s going to eat his own hand if doesn’t be careful
and ben is chill too thats why
This is amazing! I've never seen anybody relish fish & chips so much. You're making me hungry!
£50 for that bro you got ripped off
London is a rip off shithole
Stink on the winky type shit
Them delivery fees make a Big Mac meal $30
Came for the Fish and chips. Stayed for the aggressive eating style. Mesmerising.
First time here, 108. He, indeed, eats like a Wolverine.
Eats l8,e a pig
He eats like a pig!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He does not fuck about
So cool you've come to the uk and tried some of the staple foods I've been enjoying all the uploads, thanks for coming!
^^^^
It is been watching Ben for years and I’m glad he’s finally trying our food
Is there something else you can recommend he tries?
A good sample for suggestion would be the saveloy sausage, and haddock is good as its slightly saltier than cod. Great vid man and love that the mic is on ur beanie to capture the crunch and munch
Recently started watching this guys videos and he its nice to see somebody giving some proper British food coverage ❤ for anybody wanting to try proper fish and chips, don't be put off by the price of this, this table of food may cost over £40 in London but its less than half that price in the rest of the country 🙏
Man I have never seen somebody make fish and chips look so good in my life so much you have just persuaded me to go and get me some right now
only thing he was missing was scrapings/bits that shit is divine
Fish and Chips can vary so much throughout Britain. London is pricy, often as a tourist trap. I live in Derbyshire and we have a chip shop in Ripley that is wonderful. Fish and Chips is the ultimate comfort food for me. So glad you liked it.
Fish and chips are always better up north
@@M.L.E90fish and chips in Whitby is quintessential british romanticism.
@earthreacts4056 So what ur saying is,Southerners can't make a simple batter mix,or cook chips.Ive eaten them up north and down south.Absolutely zero difference .Typical thick northern thing to say.
@@bwilson5401lmao definitely isn't, Whitby area is by far the best, fresh fish caught and sent straight to suppliers rather than frozen for God knows how long, clearly you have the taste buds of a toddler
They not french Fries, totally different thing, chips are suppose to be fat and made back in the day yourself with potatoes and a fryer. Mac Donald’s fried are disgusting
man you so needed to try the mushy peas with chips together. that's what its all about.
i'm happy you enjoyed the fish and chips. a great British tradition.
i cant say Ive seen pickle or pickled eggs in a chippy before but I live northern England, so perhaps its more of a thing down south or I just haven't cared enough to notice.
you are most likely right, they're probably from a tub that's been sitting for weeks.
glad it was an enjoyable overall experience for you.
My God that made me hungry. So good to see (and hear!!!!) a visitor enjoying Fish & Chips so much. Kudos for going for the full order of sides too, though I can honestly say I've never been brave enough to ask for a pickled egg before. They usually look like they've been in the jar on the counter for over a decade.
There's something mesmerising about the way you eat. You eat with vigor. You enjoy it. Loved this.
It's the raw enthusiasm isn't it? I love it so much, he'd be so much fun to eat a meal with.
He eats like a caveman....
Very similar to "Gorilla Tube" Worth a watch to compare
@@Brian-om2hhNo, he eats like a competitive eater. Look at Matt Stonie.
Gayest comment ive ever seen tbh
People say that English food is bland. But no, it’s just undervalued. I’ve lived in the UK for over 25 years and, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without a battered sausage ❤
You love being battered by a sausage
A shame so many think our food is bad
@@jackreeves7 That’s just stereotypes for you. They spread like wildfire.
The reason I think they say that is because we have way less ingredients due to regulations and shipping regulations there's just certain stuff your not allowed at all or really low amounts if you look at American ingredients they have alot more shiz in them
@jakmclean6163 not everything needs to filled with spices but yeah that's probably one reason people think that. Nothing is bland though that's what really annoying to see people say.
As a Brit who lived around London for years, I’m always shocked at the price you’re paying for this food. £55 for fish and chips! I’d pay around £15 for that in the South West!
Chip shop chips if fried correctly are the best chips/fries out there, however, they have to be crisp on the outside, soft in the middle with the edges and smaller chips/flakes being golden!
was surprised to find only one comment on the insane price
up here in the midlands ill pay around £7 for Fish & Chips or £3-4 for a bag of chips so yeah haha 55 is insane
It's horrible how much its increased...London is the last place I would buy.
When I worked In the sector it was less than £5 for cod and chips at a highly respected chippy...Talking perfect fish and chips with an hours queue.
Ok that was twenty years ago.....
in the UK we joke about how no ones gets a pickled egg yet they are always sold. So much so we believe the pickled eggs are just on displays for years on end hahaha
Ben! Salt and Vinegar. On. Your. CHIPS!!! and a dash of pepper for a little extra flavour! Pepper on the fish with the lemon is also great! 😉
The sausage in batter is usually a bit more well cooked, and tastes good with a little mustard and ketchup or bbq sauce, and unfortunately your missing the essential part.. some bread!(and butter!) You can dip the bread, make a chip butty or fish sarnie with a little ketchup etc etc😋
I don't know why i read this in my mind with the most british accent hahahaha lol, Nice checkup tho :D
Chip butties🔥🔥🔥
Pepper! Get out
You meant to say "Brown Sauce" on the battered sausage, right?
@@gmarshall101 ooooh! a little brown/ hp is always great too!(on any part of your fish/sausage/chick etc and chips meal) 😉*thinking battered with hp, chip buttie with ketchup for lunch now!
I heard that first bite crunch from over here!
I think these videos make you hungry like crazy its no joke I feel sick atm now im sick and starving thx
Oh man that fish looks soooo good. Wow! Thanks for the great video!
Pro tip if the chippy allows it/isn't too busy: ask for double fried chips. Crucially, not fried for twice as long. Fried to about 85 percent doneness, taken out and allowed to expel steam/cool for about a minute, and re-fried to finish them off. The crispiness goes off the charts, and they also stay crunchy for longer because they've had a chance to get rid of some of the internal water that normally makes chips go soggy.
Great idea. Never ever thought of that.
It's called blanching, every chippy will do that, asking for double friend is offensive, just ask "can I have them blanched first"
@@billyburrett7863 offensive? What are you on? Vast majority of places i've been to and the one i've worked at would say double fried or refried, not that blanched is wrong but you certainly wouldn't offend anyone by not using it.
@Nefariousbig I've worked in a chippy for 11 years mate, I'm just saying the majority do not like the frase, say it if you wanna be that bitchy about it
People usually assume refried means its been sat there and refried to heat up, which actually makes the food taste stale, if you worked in a chippy like you say you did you would know that, can you imagine taking out cod it sat there for 25 minutes then refrying it? Just say Blanch it will save you hassle
Just the sound makes me SO hungry for fish and chips!!!! 🤤🤤🤤 Born in Philippines, but I grew up in North UK in the 80's... having beer battered fish and chips, "scrap" (extra batter left over), vinegar, salt and mush peas on newspaper wrapping was MAGIC! ❤
Thats the best and correct way! 😄
Mushy peas are DISGUSTING
@@fryhyhAgreed!
Even the smell of them turns my stomach 🤢
do they smell of anything? I don't seem to remember them smelling of anything@@MamaLinz123
Mushy peas are life!
Love your reviews man! Always hungry after though!
LMFAOFF. love the crunch sound brah!!
So glad you loved the fish n chips! Remember to add the salt and vinegar to just the chips for next time 😊 would be great to know your thoughts on a Sunday roast, afternoon tea and our chocolates!
Wtf is afternoon tea? Mate in the afternoon I have normal food
@@VineVasttea, scones with clotted cream and jam, sandwiches, cakes...

The pickled egg segment got me rolling😂😂🤣
I thought my screen froze
I feel like they're put on display to trick tourists more than anything, I don't know anyone who eats them, and I'm from up North where almost everything comes with a coating of vinegar! 😂
@@RhamanaChan I get a jar every now and again with the food shop, they never last long
@@RhamanaChani love them! Ive even made my own
Pickled eggs are a stinky and acquired taste it has to be said. My old dad used to buy jars of them from the Aldi and enjoyed them immensely. Not me though - it really isn't hard to boil a half dozen eggs.
Now what the Chinese do with eggs is amazing. Tea eggs, Hundred year old eggs, intriguing. Yet Piss Eggs are a thing - they need the piss of young boys to make authentic ones. I nope nope out at that. Give me hard boiled eggs in a jar of vinegar any day.
And that fish looked absolutely beautifully cooked - and sounded great!
I appreciate how you don't smack your lips while you eat. You actually chew at a great pace enough to quickly provide your viewers with what you immediately think literally right after completely tasting the food. Thank you for really focusing on the review the entire time with so much more information while enjoying your food. Your hunger is also satisfying to see because we can tell you're enjoying every bite.
As a Brit I'd like to say there's a difference between chips and fries, that's why those aren't your typical golden skinny fries. The typical British chip is much more chunky and more mushy inside. Then you also have fries which are your typical golden skinny fry that you find in America or most fast food places.
yeah its the same as biscuits vs cookies, really i call them distinct things as the biscuit is so different to the american cookie. not equivalent at all!
@pemo2676 biscuits in America are just savory scones
@@AcesH1gh yeah it's very confusing lmao, the two languages aren't quite distinct enough like mexican spanish and mainland spanish to justify full separation, either
We have those types of fries in America. They’re usually called steak fries and they’re thicker like those ones. Those are typically what served in a fish and chips in America
Posting fish & chips on a Friday, this guy understands the culture! And the algorithm, haha. As a Brit though, I can assure you that a lot of us don’t “get” pickled eggs either. They’re rancid! 🤢
Literally no one orders the egg and pickle. Vast majority of people stick with fish and chips, tartare sauce, ketchup, curry, and mushy peas. Its all you need. (and vinegar and salt)
Agree, pickled eggs only go in a bag of crisps, nothing else.
minus the peas and ketchup and you have a winner there mate ;) @@supersuede91
Forgot the Vinegar too@@googleaccofalex
Pickled Eggs are well tasty, but not with your fish & chip meal
Lovely to watch someone eat UK chippy for the first time! Considering popping to the chippy after this 🤣🤣 I always have fish chips and mushy peas and tartar sauce. I also prefer without salt and vinegar but if I do have it just sprinkle a bit on 😂 so many people love loads of salt and vinegar! Especially smokers I think. Battered sausage is more a southern England or Scottish thing, only recently came to the north west England I'd say, definitely wasn't a thing in 90s. The sausage from chippy is very salty and processed, I couldn't eat it without a drink 🤣 you've found a good chippy there I think, as sometimes you can get soggy batter haha
The crunch factor,off the chain!!! I heard that crunch over here in Seattle🤣🤣
Love the mushy peas assessment: 7:35 "These taste like peas mushed up....did not expect that but I do mess with it" I'm looking forward to see what other UK dishes, you decide to mess with.
Goes to show how much processed crap we eat without us even realising half the time, even soups are full of preservatives so pure mushed peas with some simple seasoning is surprisingly tasty lmao.
@@dr_yeet9399split pea soup and mushed peas wouldn't taste alike natural or processed
@@BobJones-vj3tc I'm just talking about anything tinned realistically, soup can be a placeholder word since Ben mentioned split pea but anything tinned is gonna be laden with preservatives for obvious shelf life reasons.
@@dr_yeet9399that's true
Meat biryani, meat madras, onion bhaji, roti... Or Half crispy duck, Singapore rice vermicelli and seaweed...
FYI, the sausage goes in the curry sauce (for me at least) as well as the chips, mushy peas also go on the chips and the salt and vinegar goes all over the chips.
The curry sauce goes on EVERYTHING, fish especially, no questions asked!
Although yeah, if there was tartare sauce there also I would save that for the fish and the everything else gets the curry. :-)
He should have got the gravy for the chips and curry sauce used for the sausage
@@MoviesNGames007uk Gravy is rare down south, its a northern thing, despite it tasting damn good.
Curry + Battered Sausge is 100% the way to go. It's amazing when it's a good sausage. Unfortunately, there are some rogue chippies out there that offer subpar sausage
💯 agree dunk it in the curry with salt and vinegar and top it with a little mushy peas ..ENJOY ❤
The artistry i just love his videos
I LOVE how you shovel the food in! I'm here for it.
Also, please use the salt n vinegar. Gamechanger
Just eating big spoonfuls of the mushy peas like they’re soup cracked me up 😂 they’re more of a condiment really.
In Nottingham there are places that just sell cups of mushy peas with or without mint sauce, usually at the fair etc. So they definitely aren't just a condiment
@@heatherbc7914Just accept that it's a condiment.
A condiment is more of a sauce or seasoning. Mushy peas are a portion of vegetables.
The way he munches it down is so endearing lol. Looks like he’s having a good time
Looks like he's starving fr was making me hungry
LOVE your channel and your enthusiasm, you tackled that fish and chip supper like a champion! Salt and vinegar goes on the chips (not the fish 😄), along with the curry sauce, and ketchup. Leave the tartare sauce for the fish, along with the mushy peas (which are indeed just mushed sweet gorgeous green garden peas), and the lemon, perfect classic dish!! Vinegar, pickled gherkin and pickled egg - are nicely tart and really cut through endless amounts of potato ( chips). Egg and pickle is an excellent way of preserving a glut of foods (especially in war time) and they are cheap, as are chips (classic British phrase ("cheap as chips"!)) which is why you might find them in a 'chippy'. Triple fried chips are the best, really crunchy! I mostly just have the fish and mushy peas - that's plenty for me. But the fish, oh the gorgeous lovely buttery cod, in the UK you are never more than 70 miles away from the sea, stick to the fish, every time. Best place to eat fish and chips is by the seaside!
Love the sound efffects.
As a brit, everytime I walk in the chippy, I look at the pickled egg jar and ask myself the same question... 'WHY?' Never had one, never will.
Saaaame!
Yep I love a boiled egg.. love a pickle.. but zero desire to try pickled eggs
I used to think the same thing until I finally convinced myself to try one. Now I could eat an entire jar of them lol.
If you’ve never had one, try one, then you’ll know haha.
I have one occasionally when I want to be so aggressively assaulted by vinegar flavour that my face scrunches right off.
But I like eggs just too much...
Glad you liked it! As with all seafood, it only gets better and tastier the closer you are to the sea. If you ever visit the English coast, be sure to try some fish and chips there.
That used to be true when we had things delivered by horse and cart, but my Mum had a Chippy 50 miles from the Sea and the Fish would arrive in a refrigeratad truck within an hr from the Boat.
yeah the uk isnt big enough to notice the quality get that much worse@@nealgrimes4382
Not at all
yeah go to norfolk it’s very good there
@@eggyboiled Go to Cromer
the cost is because London , everything you have there would be around £12 - £14 at an average chip shop in Devon or up north in Yorkshire etc ....fish and chips is around £6.50 - £7.50 jumbo sausage & chips probably £3.50 - £4 .
i swear this man just does good reviews and mukbangs but its like hes sitting down with a bunch of homies enjoying a meal that has a little bit of a story behind it
nice vibes for sure
Just love the way this bloke eats. He's a machine.😊
Chip shop chips and curry sauce is a British classic 👌. Really like seeing your thoughts on our British classics 🇬🇧
Im hungover, on the brink of death itself. Hearing and seeing you eating fish and chips has given me the power to go to my local chippy
Im getting ready to eat fish and fries here in a couple minutes, just watching you so i get really hungry.😊
Much love to you for portraying our great food in a positive light! Not many people actually do that
that's because no one bloody tries it, "lmao look how shit their food is" - _has never even been in the proximity of British food_

Chips don't look off to me. Normally chip shop chips taste delicious without sauce.
Sounds amazing!
That crunch was amazing
Try adding the salt and vinegar to the chips, also put some ketchup to the side to dip the salt and vinegar chips into. Glad to see you're enjoying our food. £55 is way too much, it should have cost max £25 for that meal.
On the North East coast it’s cheaper and better than anywhere else. You should do a trip to York and then Whitby. Both are historic places and quintessentially English.
Yes you got well stung in London with that fish and chips... that would cost around £20 where I live and the fish would be a lot bigger 😂
Loving your enthusiasm for classic British foods. Fish and chips, needs a generous splash of salt and vinegar. This takes everything to another dimension. Go to a costal town, IE Whitby or Grimsby and the fish and chips is 30% better than in any City. Nobody I know ever eats the pickled egg's. That jar is probably 10 years old 😂
I'm from Grimsby. This is a fake review, he's dubbed a fake crunching sound onto it. Even the mushy peas crunch lol
@@hyruleansans473 when do the peas crunch
@hyruleansans473 I thnk it's because he has his mic right under his mouth. It's more of a mouth munching sound. I'm also in Gy lol
It makes me happy as a Brit to know that Ben enjoys our fish and battered sausages the way they’re meant to be 💯😋
ur vibe is super likeable.. peace
I'm Canadian and don't know how they do it in the UK, but here the malt vinegar would be for the fries, and the pickled egg should have a healthy dose of salt and pepper. I'm assuming the curry goes with the sausage as well.
Salt + vinegar for fish + chips , yes to the egg too , im in the UK
The curry is class with the fish dipped in too.
I like baked beans best with a battered sausage. Batter soaks up the the tomato’s sauce and it’s really nice.
Never in my British life have I ever seen or heard of a pickles egg with fish and chips😭😭😭
@@ktxtenskz7441 you’re joking? Most fish shops I’ve ever been to have them but you rarely see anyone buy them 😅
Fact for you: Why the batter is crispier on the Battered sausage, they make those and leave them in an heated lamp for a little while but the fish they make them to order so its more fresher and doesnt dry out.
My usual order from the chippy is chips and fried rice with curry. You get it in the trays, it’s basically half chips, half fried rice with curry sauce on top. It’s absolutely amazing. The sausage dinners are good too, but I’d usually replace the gravy with curry because it just tastes better.
I honestly love how you really taste a good amount before you decide x
"I'm full as hell" and not even a second later cuts to Ben downing 3 chips dunked in tartar sauce in quick succession. Never change dude lol.
That looks like the cod batter that my Grandma used for her fish and chips when she owned a Diner in the 1950's and 60's here in the States. I still have the recipe which is fantastic. I remember when your chanel only had less than 100k and you lived in this cramped little room. You've come a long way Ben. Proud of you.
That batter looks so damn good you’re a lucky individual to know what it’s like to eat that because man do i want some fish and chips rn
same, ben makes everything look delicious lol@@tytydinguy

I love this guy so much I could actually take a bite out of him he's bloody gourgess😍😍😍
As an English teen I'd have to say seeing someone that's not from here loving fish n chips is so nice to watch. In future though you put the salt and vinegar on the chips not the fish well that's what I do anyways lol
You put salt and vinegar on both the fish and chips. That’s the way to do it. Even chip shops do it like that if they don’t give it separately
I worked in a chippy for a few years and yeah it goes on everything we don’t discriminate.
@@666Blush I always ask for S & V on the chips, just salt on the fish... helps keep the batter crispy for the journey home.
Yes plenty of salt and vinegar ❤❤
As it should be!
I'm a northerner, so Haddock is our fish of choice, but that looked, and sounded, amazing. The crunch on the fish and the batter looked superb. Never oet the curry sauce. Maybe on chips, but it spoils the fish. Mushy Peas are great. Dip your chips in those babies and you'll be well happy.
Plus we don't have skin on our fish
Haddock is the superior fish! 🏴
Love love love the enthusiasm lol
Lived in London and Winchester. Love fish & chips. You should take a trip up to Scotland and do a video on Chinese food in Edinburgh. Freaking blew my mind. When they use malt vinegar in place of rice vinegar. It’s instantly addictive.
10/10 for actually tasting with great big bites - best tasting I've seen .Well done Son !
its crazy seeing a fully grown bloke eat the things we've ate since kids and be blown away lol
In America we have fish and chips at least in California. We have a place called harbor fish and chips that’s 2 minutes from the ocean. Very good though this looked better. If you live in middle America you probably don’t eat it
@@brandonneumann5294fish and chips from England is the best, in my opinion no other country can recreate the taste of an actual English fish and chips

Get yourself some Saveloy as well next time you're around. And if you want a delicacy you don't get anywhere else, try the Battered Black Pudding you can get in Dawlish. Glad you loved it!
As a Brit I can honestly say I have never seen anyone buy a pickled egg, except someone saying that they might ‘try’ one someday, but not now. Lol
Sat in the jar on the counter for five years. Jar lid covered in dust.
They're pretty good if you enjoy s vinegary treat.
My grandad was always pickling stuff onions cabbage cucumbers, tastes lime nostalgia to me.
Every time Ben eats it’s so fast and aggressive, I be afraid he’s gonna bite his tongue or finger 😂
Yea I’ve done that right on the nail felt like I’d trapped it on the door!
I'm an Englishman, lived stateside for 5 years but in Michigan, the great lakes... they had some good fish n chips, Holland MI did some good Walleye fish with beer batter and cinnamon, can't lie that was some good scram with the apple slaw and country style fries.
Done proper fish and chips with salt vinegar mushy peas and tartar sauce and curry sauce..wholesome and satisfying especially on a cold winters day!
I work with a lovely lady from abroad who had only ever had fish and chips from the likes of street carts and fast food restaurants (as in frozen american style french fries) and didn't think it was all that special. I was, naturally, aghast.
So, when we were working overtime one weekend, I took time out to go buy her and myself a proper chip from my local chippy with goujons (we didn't have time for the fish - it's done fresh to order!). Seeing the look of pure happiness on her face was well worth it. That was over a year ago and she still talks about it.
A good chip shouldn't taste like a fry at all - they're cooked differently and generally served piping hot with generous amounts of salt and vinegar. She couldn't believe the taste difference.
I've loved this series!!!!! Respect, you did us proud 🇬🇧 THANK YOU. And there's a lot more beautiful british cuisines to explore :) but maybe that's for another time
Fish and chips is so yummy, till about 30 minutes later when you feel so full and think why did I eat all those chips and so quickly too 😊
Glad you liked it.
Wow . Glad you like our British Fish and chips takeaway. Fish and chips is our British must have every Friday meal and to even have someone liking it too is spot on.Welcome to our British Friday meal must have.
Me and my partner discovered battered chips whilst living in the West-Midlands. Revolutionised how I saw traditional chips, definitely worth checking out if you're Birmingham way
There is a place in Paignton, Devon that does battered chips. Amazing!!!
The crunch of the fish is so satisfying. This is making me sooo hungry. 🤤 definitely gonna get me some chippy tomorrow .
The baritone of your voice is so nice.❤
The curry sauce bit was real funny! As a brit nothing better than fish and chips on a hot summer afternoon!
