It is thought that the potato was first brought to Britain by Sir Walter Raleigh in the 1600's, but it is believed by some that the Belgians were the first to fry the potato to produce the chip and by others that it was the French.
Chips were a cheap food for the industrial north of England, and fried fish in batter was popular in London, although originally the batter was just used to protect the fish during frying, and was discarded before the fish was eaten.

My “Fish of the day” lunch in Ginza. Looks very fancy pansy, which fits Ginza of course.

My “Caprese” at a Roppongi Hills restaurant….. well….after 3 years you get used to the small portions… I still tear and was of course still hungry after this.

Lunch with one of my friends...
