POT NOODLES -
Pot Noodles are a plastic pot with a foil 
lid. Beloved of people on camping holidays, students & single blokes/blokettes because you just fill them with boiling water, so all you need to create a hot 'meal' is a kettle. The only cutlery requirement is a fork to eat it with, so no washing up. Isn't it incredible what they can do these days?

UK NATIONAL DISH - Previously Fish & Chips, the local chippy, is a mainstay of UK culture. (Except in London, where for some reason they have Pie & Mash shops instead. These establishments serve you dollops of mashed potato from an icecream scoop with your meal. Southern types actually enjoy this!) Fish is usually battered. That is, covered in a liquid solution of flour & water, then deep-fried, not asaulted (as far as I'm aware). There are many local rules about whether or not you take the skin off the fish first, what type of fish is used, which bits, etc. Other items which are also served deep-fried are Spam fritters, Mushy Pea fritters, & in Scotland, deep-fried Mars chocolate bars (Scotland has the worst history of heart disease in the UK. Some people have suggested these matters are related). The chips (sliced potatoes) are also deep-fried. In Manchester & it's environs, the 'chip buttie' is a popular choice. Consisting of chips on a bread-roll type item, variously described, depending on the area as a barm cake, a barm, a muffin, a bap or a bread roll. Use the wrong word, & you'll get either laughed at, sneered at, patronised or thrown out of the shop, depending on the demeanour / whim of the serving person. Extras include: gravy, peas, beans, curry sauce, etc etc. Anyway, you can ignore all that, because according to a recent survey, the traditional UK meal out (takeaway or restaurant) is now Curry. A much healthier option.
