even in the uk, depeding where you are you get diffent things.
so its common in the south of england to cook fish and chips in vegitable oil. but north they tend to cook with animal oil.
in the north they tend to ask for gravey or curry with fish and chips, also mushy peas is common with them.
some fish and chip shops will fry sweets such as mars bars. some even will fry you a pizza (gross).
some will also give you scraps. these tend to be broken batter from the fish.
a few years ago if you got fish and chips it would be wrapped in newspaper. but sadly due to health and safty its served in nasty plastic boxes.
a lot of fish and chip shops have closed as they are so expensive. the price of fish is insane. a few years ago fish and chips (a fish supper as the scotish call it) cost under £2. But now its over £5.
Curry is now the most popular fast food.
I remember mcdonalds starting in the uk. it was the place to be seen, but these dsays its lost its lure, but still popular. though subways seems to be now the big place.
i think in the uk we have most (not all) usa fast food places and coffee shops.
