Fish is rich in vitamin B and protein, and with French fries, it is a nutritious and healthy delicacy. However, because it is fried food, it will inevitably be rejected by many beauty lovers. Therefore, it is suggested that if you can enjoy it with bread and beans, you can balance the absorbed excess fat well. Thicker French fries are better, so that less oil will be absorbed. The fat content of thin French fries is about 15%, while the fat content of coarse French fries is only 7%. However, the chips used in general fish and chips shops are cooked in advance and then frozen, so the oil content will increase to 12% after secondary frying.
Oily fish, such as mackerel, herring and sardines, are also good choices. They are protein, high in vitamins and high in unsaturated fats. Health experts advise people to eat this oily fish at least twice a week.
Yorkshire pudding is a delicious English food, made of batter, which is somewhat similar to the lightly baked shortbread in the United States. Usually eaten with roast beef, broth or other foods with soup. Generally speaking, broth is an indispensable side dish, which originated in Yorkshire and became popular all over Britain.
