International and fusion cuisine
Indian cuisine is the most popular alternative to traditional cooking in Britain.
British people love their curries and you will find Indian restaurants up and down the country. Pizza and pasta dishes such as spaghetti bolognese and lasagna are the most popular forms of Italian food. Chinese food is so adapted to Western tastes that Chinese customers may be offered an entirely separate menu. American and Middle Eastern food mostly represented in the take-away sector. French food tends to be considered haute cuisine.
Fast food
Most town high streets will contain at least one fast food giant such as McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Kentucky fried chicken, Subway and Burger King. Fish and chips, kebabs and burgers from a mobile van are also popular fast food choices.
