British Foods That Don't Make Sense to Anyone Outside the UK

Chips and Curry Sauce

If you didn’t already know, British chips and American chips are worlds apart. American chips are flat, crispy, and come in a packet, perfect for snacking. On the other hand, British chips are thick, chunky, and resemble oversized fries, often served as a side dish. But the differences don’t stop there. When Brits indulge in this beloved treat, they skip the ketchup and mustard most Americans reach for

Instead, they drench their chips in curry sauce. Yes, curry sauce! This spicy, thick condiment might seem unusual to North American taste buds, but Brits swear by it. Why do they love turning their chips into a soggy, saucy delight? It’s a mystery to many, but it’s a cultural staple in the UK. Could it be the bold flavors or the comforting warmth of the sauce? Whatever the reason, it’s a quirky tradition that leaves us scratching our heads—and maybe a little curious to try it ourselves.
