| "Fish and chips wrapped up in a sheet of paper " |
In England a typical dish is battered (rebozado *) fish and chips. It is traditionally eaten for lunch or dinner and can be bought from the supermarket and made at home.But the best way is to buy it from a special Fish and Chip shop. This is a shop where the fresh fish is fried in crunchy (crujiente) batter and served with chips and wrapped up in a sheet of newspaper ( página de un periódico **) . The Fish and Chip shop will also serve a choice of peas (guisantes) , curry sauce (salsa de curry) or baked beans (alubias cocidas en salsa de tomate ) to accompany the fish and chips. The fish is white fish: cod (bacalao) or haddock ( abadejo) . Don’t forget the essential ingredient: tomato sauce !
* batter: a mixture of flour, eggs and milk or water used in cooking (mezcla culinaria a base de harina, huevos y leche o agua ).
** de ahí la frase "Today's news is tomorrow's fish and chips paper" ( Las noticias de hoy son el papel para envolver fish and chips de mañana ) .
