Sharing of common delicacies in studying abroad in the UK. Food is indispensable for every international student studying abroad, so international students have to understand the food of life while studying abroad. Let’s follow 86 me to find out. Kebab
Kebab is said to be Turkish barbecue, but now most of it is made by Indians and Pakistanis? It is basically all over the UK, and Indians and Pakistanis are very good V5. There are not many options to choose from, just two types. One is called doner, which is the traditional kind of meat scraped from a big meat pillar (sounds a bit like some kind of punishment? The picture is a chicken doner).
The other one is called shish, which is actually a kebab. There are lamb and chicken options, plus some mayonnaise or hot sauce. It only takes less than 5 minutes from ordering to getting it. This thing costs about 4-6 pounds per serving, with a lot of meat. It usually has a pancake as a staple food, and it also comes with some vegetable salad. It seems quite balanced?
Chinese takeout
Rice bowl! Fried noodles! There is nothing else to order. I feel like Chinese takeout food is all made by southerners, and the taste is almost the same. Not only is it difficult to distinguish good from bad from store to store, but several different dishes in the same store have almost the same taste. I think they fried them. The boiled pork slices and the fish-flavored shredded pork taste the same.
But fortunately, it’s fast and cheap. You’ll definitely be full for 4-7 pounds, and you rarely need to order in English. Moreover, among the cheap food we reviewed today, this is the closest to the Chinese taste. One? Because I once saw an Indian and Pakistani brother cooking in a Chinese takeout. What do you want me to say?
Bar food
Cough? In fact, bar food also has high and low grades, okay! Small bars and chain bars are very cheap. Buying a burger or something is only 6 pounds, and drinks are included. Some of them may be better than Mai Kee? There are also sandwiches, wraps, etc., which are not more than 7 pounds, and you can have some beer or something.
The only problem is that the locals think so too. There are usually a lot of people, so the food may be served slowly. After all, it is freshly made, so don’t try it easily if you are in a hurry? The author was unlucky once. I had to wait for 20 minutes for a hamburger and almost ended up being late for class?
Oven and microwave food
Is there a variety of freezer food and ready meals in the supermarket? We have everything from pizza to pasta, from meat to vegetables, and none are more than 7 pounds each! There are even many large portions that can be eaten for several meals? Although the taste is really OTL, but occasionally you can come across something delicious, it's like winning a lottery Happy.
Moreover! This product is simply a magical tool when you are working on papers and reviewing! Go to the supermarket and buy a week's worth of food. When you are hungry, put it in the oven or microwave, and then go straight to it. You don’t have to wash the dishes to eat! When I was submitting my graduation thesis, I was nicknamed the "Little Prince of Microwave Food". Is that because I tasted all kinds of strange things?
Fried chicken
Well-deserved No. 1 cheap hunger-satisfying food! Indians and Pakistanis have brought one of the greatest wealth to the UK! 4 fried chicken wings for 1 pound (fluctuate +-1 according to the region), 1 large chicken nugget for 1 pound , is there anything cheaper and more affordable than this? And as the fast food with the most stores in the UK, you can find its presence no matter where it is. It is much more popular than fish&chips, especially in the East End of London, which is full of fried chicken. Store? As for health issues, the author said haha, it is better to eat less.
Various pizza delivery
You don’t have to leave home for delivery? Except for Domino’s and Pizza Hut (Papa John’s, etc. are slightly more expensive and are not included in our consideration). Small delivery pizza shops are basically run by Indians and Pakistanis, and fried chicken restaurants generally sell pizza? Both big restaurants offer buy one, get one free for one day, which can save a lot of money, and you can eat a lot with two large pizzas. (fridge and microwave get married already?).
I don’t know how you feel, but I think Domino’s is better than Pizza Hut in the UK. As for the pizza in the small store, it is really cheap. You have to try it yourself to know whether it tastes good or not.
McDonald’s, KFC and Burger King
At the end, everyone knows these. Let me briefly introduce the differences between them and those in China to friends who have not yet come to the UK. First of all, everyone knows about pure fattening foods? (Whoever picked the picture wanted a fat black man? The fat man is very cute, okay?) McDonald’s burgers are much smaller than those in China, and the Big Mac is only so small. However, McNuggets can be purchased for less than 5 pounds and are worth 20 bucks.
KFC is really not flattering. Not to mention the variety is less than that in China, and the taste of fried chicken may not be as good as that of Indians and Pakistanis (again, salute to the Indians and Pakistanis!). On the other hand, Burger King is pretty good, with plenty of portions and not expensive, but it just doesn't have as many restaurants as Mai Kee.
The above are the delicacies that 86 I introduced to international students that cannot be ignored when studying in the UK. I hope that international students can live a better life overseas.
