is a particularly nice one on the harbour in Whitby

in Yorkshire. You are probably more likely to get good fish than chips. Traditionally wrapped in newspaper and eaten outside.
Yorkshire Pudding - ubiquitous in Yorkshire, but not necessarily better than elsewhere
Haggis - the Scots don't really eat much of it these days
Black Pudding - buy it from a northern family butcher, and cook it yourself
Clotted Cream - from Devon & Cornwall, it is the only thing to eat with scones and jam
Jellied Eel - if you can find them in London
Cornish Crab - I think fresh Cornish Crab is the best in the country
Welsh Lamb - a must if you are in Wales
Regional Cheeses - not the plastic wrapped things from supermarkets. We have hundreds of excellent local cheeses, which should be available until the men from the ministry stop production of small family run cheese makers.
Sunday Lunch - still roast beef and Yorkshire pud comes top of the list.

a legacy of the Industrial Revolution that came to England in the 18th century, a time when factory workers needed cheap, quick and nourishing food.  The development of the deep-sea trawler, improvements in refrigeration and the expansion of the railways meant that fresh fish could be shipped to inland cities and towns.  These factors, combined with the ready availability of potatoes throughout Britain, resulted in a popular hot and nourishing fast food that could be eaten in the shop or taken home to consume. The earliest fish and chip shops had been opened in the East End of London in the 1860’s by Sephardim, the descendants of Iberian Jews.East End Jews, Italians, Chinese and Greek Cypriots were all important in the establishment of the fish and chip trade in Britain, and by the eve of the World War 2, there were estimated to be at least 30,000 of these operations in Britain
