Fish and Chips

So today is the day that I completed a feat - and have accomplished many of the things I have set out to do. That's right folks: I had my first bout of fish and chips this afternoon - and it was damn good.

I am not sure I will be able to move for a few hours as growing up in California my body is in a kind-of toxic shock from the fried food... but I can't tell you I didn't enjoy it.

So now that I've had a proper fish and chips (complete with salt and vinegar, who knew) and a great Indian meal, I feel like a true Brit.

In all honesty though, I have yet to see anyone British eating fish and chips - I think it's of the same phenomenon that I am an American and don't eat hamburgers... ah well. Here's to stereo-types and cliches.
