I'm an American in London... your fish and chips is nice but misses a key ingredient

An American woman visiting London raved about her fish and chips but she believes a very key element is missing from the quintessentially British dish. 

Bella, who hails from Florida, was keen to tuck into her crispy golden battered cod draped over a bed of chips doused in salt and vinegar. 

The American was fully prepared for her taste test with a portion tartar sauce, beans and mushy peas, from Master's Superfish in Southbank, alongside her meal. 

But despite going all out on all the trappings with nearly every side possible, she remarked that the food could do with much more salt.

After trying the mushy peas and tartar sauce, she turns to her partner asking if there were more salt packets. 

'It's good,' she quipped: 'It needs a bit more salt for my American taste buds I guess but it's good.'

Although she may not have been head over heels for her chippy tea, Bella said she loved British beans, 'especially with cheese on top'.

Bella also enjoyed a British staple - the afternoon tea. 

'We went on an afternoon tea cruise  today, which was fun and I know it's not the best afternoon tea but it was a really good experience,' she added.

Brits quickly flocked to the comments, quick to point out the mistakes she had made when it came to fish and chipper dinner. 

One exclaimed: 'Where's the curry sauce and gravy?' 

Whilst another remarked: 'Curry sauce would have been better than beans,' to which Bella replied: 'I dipped them in curry sauce too.' 

A third viewer was left baffled to see her eating the meal without any utensils, writing: 'I've never seen someone eat fish and chips with their hands.'

'I'm hurt she called chips fries,' a fourth bemoaned.

Others praised the content creator and were keen to know what British cuisine she would be trying next. 

A follower asked: 'Love this series! Are you going to try the jacket potato or beans and toast while you're there?'

'Try Nando's,' one suggested as another queried: 'Will you be trying English breakfast?'

'Glad you enjoyed it,' one said.
