Details and expenses of studying abroad in Britain: fast food
From today on, the editor will write a series of articles introducing the details of life in the UK and its related costs. I hope you can learn about life in the UK in advance before going abroad, avoid unnecessary troubles and adapt as soon as possible.
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. As a pure Chinese with unlimited pursuit of food, Xiao Bian was most worried about how to eat in Britain after receiving an offer from UCL. The British dark cuisine widely spread on the Internet before deeply shocked Xiao Bian's mind. In addition to lamenting the British creativity in cooking, Xiao Bian is deeply worried about whether he can live for a month. After arriving in London, Xiao Bian found that although the food in Britain was really not delicious, it was not exaggerated to the extent of online. Most British people deal with food in two ways: boiled water and sprinkled with pepper and salt, or coated with powder and fried and sprinkled with pepper and salt. Therefore, I think it is necessary to talk about the various options of eating in Britain. Today, let's focus on fast food in Britain.
In addition to McDonald's, KFC (McDonald's is far more than KFC), Burger King, Subway and other world fast food chains, Indian fried chicken restaurants can be seen everywhere in London. This should be the cheapest food in Britain. For about 3 pounds, you can have a set meal of 5 or 6 chicken wings, French fries and drinks. The price is almost the same as that in China. However, Xiao Bian can't adapt to this. After two days of eating it, he feels that his belching is a chicken shit smell.
A little more expensive choices are the traditional British food fish and chips and Japanese fast food. The set meal of fish and chips is usually around 8 pounds. In addition to these two dishes, drinks are usually included. Fish and chips are tasteless when fried. You need to add salt and pepper yourself (there is one on the table). In London, Japanese fast food is mainly wasabi, and the price is between 8 pounds and 10 pounds. There are sushi and something like covered rice in it. There is no need to say more about sushi. Everyone has seen it in China. Building a meal is a bit like a domestic canteen. There are several dishes on the plate. You can choose one with rice. It is different from that in China because it is packed in cups.
In addition to these common things, sometimes there are various snack stalls on the roadside, which may sell grilled ribs (I didn't know that ribs can be baked before), sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs and other national specialties. Generally, there is a small blackboard in front of the stall, on which the food types and prices are written. However, the emergence of such stalls is not very stable. Some are expensive and some are cheap (it may also be that the minor editor did not study carefully). The minor editor usually buys when he meets them, but if he doesn't, he will forget.
Lunch in Britain is relatively simple. They often casually eat a sandwich with some fruit. Of course, this is not because they have a small amount of food, but because the British breakfast is quite rich, and they are not too hungry at noon. Just eat something at random. Have afternoon tea when you are hungry, and then go home for dinner in the evening. You can also refer to their lifestyle, make a sandwich at home and take it with you, or go to the supermarket to buy one for lunch, which usually costs about 4 pounds.
