The other British stereotype, as you quite rightly described the word, is that we all love fish (note I am taking it back to the animal theme ) and chips, when in fact not all of us do.
Personally, I love the chips if they are of reasonable quality and not too greasy / dry… but the fish can, as far as I am concerned, stay in the sea!!!
Good one there, although I’m sure letsdothis will cut us some slack here
To stick to fish, there’s also a stereotype about Norwegians and fish, which there actually may be something to. After China, Norway is the second biggest fish exporting country in the world. Which is rather amazing for a country with a population of only a little over five and a half millions.
Now, should this have been in the “Did you know?” topic?
