Britishness

So, I have lots of political links & stuff waiting to be posted, but right now I am going with something that's pure fluff:

26 British Food Quirks That Brits Don’t Realise Are Weird

My question is - are they really that weird? As in, are you unaware that British people eat this? Or do you find it odd that anyone would?

Like, chip butties. I had never come across this concept before moving here, but zomg they're wonderful!

(Basically a white bread sandwich/bread bun with chips. English chips, not french fries.)

So if there's anything that actually strikes you as odd and unknown (like, I presume everyone knows that British people love beans on toast), you are more than welcome to tell me so! :)

Also, I get to use the mood for 'curious' which is rare!

I have never heard of a Chip Butty before. But now I desperately want one. Like...I feel like I've found my calling. And it is to eat Chip Butty.

It is a gorgeous, gorgeous thing. Get a potato or two, cut them into long rectangles (approx. the size of your finger, or fatter), fry in oil, put into white bread [bun]. Add salt, vinegar, ketchup etc as you like. :)
