Priset på ”fish and chips” har dubblerats sen 2019
Priset för den inofficiella brittiska nationalrätten ”fish and chips” har dubblerats i Storbritannien sedan 2019, skriver The Independent. Prisökningen har den senaste tiden drivits på av krigen i Ukraina och Iran.
I dag är snittpriset 11,17 pund. 2019 var det 6,48.
Nu har försäljarna börjat byta ut den traditionella torsken eller koljan mot det billigare alternativet pollock.
– Den traditionella fish and chips-restaurangen kommer att försvinna, om vi inte diversifierar och testar nya saker, säger Andrew Arnold, som säljer fisk i Pocklington utanför York.
bakgrund
Fish and chips
Wikipedia (en)
Fish and chips is a hot dish consisting of battered and fried fish, served with chips. Often considered the national dish of the United Kingdom, fish and chips originated in England in the 19th century. Today, the dish is a common takeaway food in numerous other countries, particularly English-speaking and Commonwealth nations.
Fish-and-chip shops first appeared in the UK in the 1860s, and by 1910 there were over 25,000 of them across the UK. This increased to over 35,000 by the 1930s, but eventually decreased to approximately 10,000 by 2009. The British government safeguarded the supply of fish and chips during the First World War and again in the Second World War. It was one of the few foods in the UK not subject to rationing during the wars, which further contributed to its popularity.
