I've already introduced the traditional English breakfast, and some of the different types of food. Now I`m going to write about the popular meals, and what they are made off. A typical British person eats about five times a day, this is both meals and snacks. We have all heard about the famous Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash and Haggis, but what exactly is that?
 * Traditional meals! Unhealthy? **

media type="custom" key="8877860" align="right" Fish and chips is a traditional take away meal in Britain. Its made with fried fish and potato chips. Its quite unhealthy, but easy and fast. It has been traditionally served in a wrapping made out of old newspapers. The dish is popular among tourist, because it's so typical Britain. It's sold a lot in the big cities, in small stands. The fried fish is filet of haddock or cod, and is fried in egg, beer, flour and salt. On the picture to the right, you see a typical takeaway box with Fish and chips. The newspaper trend is no longer as popular, but is served mostly where tourist buy their fish and chips. For dinner Bangers and Mash is a popular dish. The dish consist of sausages, bangers, and mash, mashed potatoes. The name Banger, is a nickname from the war. The sausages was filled with water, and when they where fried, they exploded. So the dish is simply just sausages and mashed potatoes. We have all heard about the typical English Breakfast. And as I have written before, it has gone out of style. But it is still a traditional meal, and on the weekends, it's popular. The dish consist of fried bread/toast, eggs, bacon, mushrooms, baked beans and sausages. It's big, and greasy, and extremely unhealthy. The reason the dish has gone out of style in Britain is mostly health and time problems.

 As I already have written about, the British people have a lot of different meals a day. A typical sandwich is eaten at lunch and supper. It's just toast with different spread like jam or ham. Crumpets and small cakes is a popular middle meal. Eaten at for example "elevenses". The crumpets is served warm, and with tea and a lot of butter or jam. A traditional and famous dish in Britain is called Haggis. It is boiled in an animals stomach, and when its done its put in the intestines of an animal. The meat in the dish is made of a sheaps offal blended with onions, spice and oatmeal. When the dish is served, it becomes a meat mix because the intestines gets ruined. The Haggis is served with neeps and tatties. The dish is originally from Scotland. A Norwegian band from Stavanger, is named after the dish.
