Hello and welcome to the English Like A Native Podcast, the

Kamusta at maligayang pagdating sa English Like A Native Podcast, ang

podcast that's designed for lovers and learners of English.

podcast na idinisenyo para sa mga mahilig at nag-aaral ng English.

My name is Anna, and today we are ordering some fish and chips.

Ang pangalan ko ay Anna, at ngayon ay nag-o-order kami ng ilang fish and chips.

Are you feeling hungry?

Nakaramdam ka ba ng gutom?

Well, you might be by the end of this podcast as I'm just going to be

Buweno, maaaring nasa dulo ka na ng podcast na ito dahil magsasalita lang ako

talking about food the entire time.

tungkol sa pagkain sa buong oras.

So if you look at any list of traditional British dishes, then

Kaya kung titingnan mo ang anumang listahan ng mga tradisyonal na pagkaing British, ang

fish and chips will usually rank number one, if not in the top three.

isda at chips ay karaniwang ranggo ng numero uno, kung hindi sa nangungunang tatlo.

It's a very British dish and in every single town in the UK, there

Isa itong napaka-British dish at sa bawat bayan sa UK, magkakaroon

will be a fish and chip shop.

ng fish and chip shop.

We often say a chip shop.

Madalas nating sinasabi na tindahan ng chip.

So you can say a fish and chip shop, or simply a chip shop.

Kaya masasabi mong fish and chip shop, o simpleng chip shop.

"Is there a chip shop around here?"

"May chip shop ba dito?"

Or even a chippy.

O kahit isang chippy.

"Is there a chippy anywhere?

"May chippy ba kahit saan?

I really fancy some fish and chips."

I really fancy some fish and chips."

Now here's an interesting fact that I don't think I've shared before,

Ngayon narito ang isang kawili-wiling katotohanan na sa tingin ko ay hindi ko naibahagi noon,

I used to work in a chip shop.

nagtrabaho ako noon sa isang chip shop.

Yeah, that's right.

Oo, tama iyan.

I've done many jobs in my life, particularly when I was younger.

Marami na akong nagawa sa buhay ko, lalo na noong bata pa ako.

I would always look for work and get part-time jobs here

Palagi akong naghahanap ng trabaho at kumuha ng mga part-time na trabaho dito

and there doing anything, and I learned a lot during that time.

at doon sa paggawa ng kahit ano, at marami akong natutunan sa panahong iyon.

I remember my days working in this chip shop fondly.

Naaalala ko ang aking mga araw na nagtatrabaho sa tindahan ng chip na ito.

It was a chip shop in Manchester.

Isa itong tindahan ng chip sa Manchester.

And I would work there at the weekends, I would do the night shift, so I

At magtatrabaho ako doon sa katapusan ng linggo, gagawin ko ang night shift, kaya

would be there on a Friday night and a Saturday night, and it was hard work.

doon ako sa Biyernes ng gabi at Sabado ng gabi, at ito ay mahirap na trabaho.

I would work until closing time, which would be usually, I think

Magtatrabaho ako hanggang closing time, which would be usually, I think

it was like 11 o'clock at night.

parang 11 o'clock na ng gabi.

And after we closed, I had to do all of the cleaning, which was not just

At pagkatapos naming magsara, kailangan kong gawin ang lahat ng paglilinis, na hindi lamang

cleaning the fryers and things like that.

paglilinis ng mga fryer at mga bagay na katulad nito.

I had to mop the floors.

Kinailangan kong maglinis ng sahig.

Not just once, but three times.

Hindi lang isang beses, kundi tatlong beses.

They were meticulous when it came to their floors.

Sila ay maselan pagdating sa kanilang mga palapag.

They wanted firstly, a wet mop, where you have to put loads of water

Gusto nila una, isang basang mop, kung saan kailangan mong maglagay ng maraming tubig

on the floor and make the floor really wet, and then two dry mops.

sa sahig at gawing basa talaga ang sahig, at pagkatapos ay dalawang dry mop.

So you leave the water to kind of soak in and wet all the splodges of food that

Kaya't iniiwan mo ang tubig upang medyo magbabad at mabasa ang lahat ng mga splodge ng pagkain na

have fallen on the floor during service.

nahulog sa sahig habang nagseserbisyo.

And then once all that stuff is loose and moist, I would do a good scrubbing

At pagkatapos kapag ang lahat ng bagay ay maluwag at basa-basa, gagawa ako ng isang mahusay na pagkayod ng

dry mop, so I'd use a dry mop and scrub that floor, and then a clean mop with

tuyong mop, kaya gagamit ako ng tuyong mop at kuskusin ang sahig na iyon, at pagkatapos ay isang malinis na mop na may

clean water, one more kind of dry mop.

malinis na tubig, isa pang uri ng dry mop.

I say dry mop.

sabi ko dry mop.

It's not dry.

Hindi ito tuyo.

It's wet, but there's not lots of water dripping off the mop.

Ito ay basa, ngunit walang maraming tubig na tumutulo mula sa mop.

So one wet mop and two dry mops, and then that floor would be sparkling

Kaya isang basang mop at dalawang tuyong mop, at pagkatapos ang sahig na iyon ay magiging

clean and the owner of the chip shop would come and inspect the floor

malinis at ang may-ari ng chip shop ay darating at susuriin ang sahig

before I was allowed to go home.

bago ako pinayagang umuwi.

It was very hard work.

Ito ay napakahirap na trabaho.

I remember feeling exhausted after every shift I did at the chip shop.

Naaalala ko ang pakiramdam na napagod pagkatapos ng bawat shift na ginagawa ko sa tindahan ng chip.

But the good thing about working in a chip shop was that I could have anything

Ngunit ang magandang bagay tungkol sa pagtatrabaho sa isang chip shop ay maaari akong magkaroon ng anumang bagay

I wanted to take home for my supper.

na gusto kong iuwi para sa aking hapunan.

Supper refers to a meal that you have before bed basically.

Ang hapunan ay tumutukoy sa isang pagkain na mayroon ka bago matulog.

It's late at night, way beyond your normal dinner time.

Gabi na, lampas sa normal mong oras ng hapunan.

Normally you've had dinner, you just have another meal before

Normally naghapunan ka na, kakain ka na lang bago

bed and this is your supper.

matulog at ito na ang hapunan mo.

So I'd take home my fish and chip supper from my chip shop job.

Kaya't iuuwi ko ang aking fish and chip supper mula sa aking trabaho sa tindahan ng chip.

I did enjoy working there because I really enjoyed fish and chips.

I did enjoy working there kasi naenjoy ko talaga ang fish and chips.

But fish and chip shops don't just sell fish and chips.

Ngunit ang mga fish and chip shop ay hindi lang nagbebenta ng fish and chips.

In fact, they sell lots of things.

Sa katunayan, nagbebenta sila ng maraming bagay.

And depending on where you are in the country, you might have some

At depende sa kung nasaan ka sa bansa, maaaring mayroon ka ring

weird and wonderful things too.

kakaiba at magagandang bagay.

I will tell you the weirdest and most wonderful thing at the very end.

Sasabihin ko sa iyo ang pinakakakaibang at pinakakahanga-hangang bagay sa pinakadulo.

So in most fish and chip shops, you will have of course, fish and chips.

Kaya sa karamihan ng mga fish and chip shop, magkakaroon ka siyempre, fish and chips.

The fish is white fish, often cod or haddock, and it's done in batter.

Ang isda ay puting isda, kadalasang bakalaw o haddock, at ginagawa ito sa batter.

So, it's rolled in batter and then deep fried, and then

Kaya, ito ay pinagsama sa batter at pagkatapos ay pinirito, at

the chips are chunky chips.

ang mga chips ay chunky chips.

Now, in British English chips refers to cooked potato chips.

Ngayon, sa British English chips ay tumutukoy sa mga nilutong potato chips.

We're not talking about crisps that you have as a snack out of a bag.

Hindi namin pinag-uusapan ang mga crisps na mayroon ka bilang meryenda mula sa isang bag.

That's the noise of me eating crisps.

Yan ang ingay kong kumakain ng crisps.

In America it's different and it becomes quite confusing for anyone

Sa America ito ay naiiba at ito ay nagiging medyo nakakalito para sa sinumang

who's exposed to American English, when they hear British people talking about

nalantad sa American English, kapag narinig nila ang mga British na nagsasalita tungkol sa

chips, we don't mean the potato snack.

chips, hindi namin ibig sabihin ang meryenda ng patatas.

We mean the warm, like french fries, but much fatter.

Ang ibig naming sabihin ay mainit, tulad ng french fries, ngunit mas mataba.

So chip shop chips are fat, chunky chips and they're lovely.

Kaya ang chip shop chips ay mataba, chunky chips at maganda ang mga ito.

Really lovely.

Talagang kaibig-ibig.

So you have your fish and chips, but then you can also get sausages,

Kaya mayroon ka ng iyong isda at chips, ngunit pagkatapos ay maaari ka ring makakuha ng mga sausage,

and these are like saveloy sausages.

at ito ay parang saveloy sausages.

They are like hot dogs.

Para silang mga hotdog.

They're long and slim.

Mahaba sila at payat.

I mean, maybe some chip shops do different types of sausages, but you can

Ibig kong sabihin, marahil ang ilang mga tindahan ng chip ay gumagawa ng iba't ibang uri ng mga sausage, ngunit maaari kang

have battered sausage, so you can roll a sausage in batter and deep fry it.

magkaroon ng battered sausage, upang maaari mong igulong ang isang sausage sa batter at i-deep fry ito.

It's probably not very healthy, but it tastes nice with a bit

Marahil ito ay hindi masyadong malusog, ngunit ito ay masarap na may kaunting

of salt and vinegar and ketchup.

asin at suka at ketchup.

Now, when you go to the chip shop to buy a bag of chips or to buy

Ngayon, kapag pumunta ka sa tindahan ng chip para bumili ng isang bag ng chips o bumili ng

fish and chips, you have to have salt and vinegar on your chips.

fish and chips, kailangan mong magkaroon ng asin at suka sa iyong chips.

It's kind of part of the culture.

Ito ay uri ng bahagi ng kultura.

Unless, of course you're sharing your bag of chips with a young child, you

Maliban kung, siyempre, ibinabahagi mo ang iyong bag ng chips sa isang bata,

probably don't want the acidic vinegar and the very salty salt on there.

malamang na hindi mo gusto ang acidic na suka at ang napakaalat na asin doon.

It's not very good for the children, but it tastes delicious.

Hindi masyadong maganda sa mga bata, pero masarap ang lasa.

And then you might have some gravy on that as well.

At pagkatapos ay maaari kang magkaroon ng ilang gravy sa na rin.

And talking about sauces, many chip shops will also offer a curry sauce,

At tungkol sa mga sarsa, maraming tindahan ng chip ang mag-aalok din ng curry sauce,

but the curry sauce that you get in a chip shop is very different to any

ngunit ang curry sauce na nakukuha mo sa isang chip shop ay ibang-iba sa anumang

curry sauce you'd have anywhere else.

curry sauce na mayroon ka kahit saan pa.

It's usually like a green sauce.

Ito ay karaniwang tulad ng berdeng sarsa.

I don't know what they do to it, but it's a green, slightly spicy curry sauce

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ginagawa nila dito, ngunit ito ay isang berde, bahagyang maanghang na sarsa ng kari

and yeah, I don't know where else you would find this type of curry sauce.

at oo, hindi ko alam kung saan ka pa makakahanap ng ganitong uri ng sarsa ng kari.

It's a chip shop curry sauce.

Isa itong chip shop curry sauce.

So we have fish, chips, battered sausage.

Kaya mayroon kaming isda, chips, battered sausage.

You can also find pies in a fish and chip shop.

Makakahanap ka rin ng mga pie sa isang fish and chip shop.

Now, pies in the UK are a pastry...

Ngayon, ang mga pie sa UK ay pastry...

like cup, so pastry around the outside.

parang cup, kaya pastry sa labas.

And this is used like a shortcrust pastry, and it's filled with something

At ito ay ginagamit tulad ng isang shortcrust pastry, at ito ay puno ng isang bagay

savoury, and then it has a lid on the top.

na masarap, at pagkatapos ay mayroon itong takip sa itaas.

Now, the fillings of a typical pie that you'd find in a chip shop

Ngayon, ang mga palaman ng isang tipikal na pie na makikita mo sa isang chip shop

would be, you might have a cheese and onion for the vegetarians.

ay, maaari kang magkaroon ng keso at sibuyas para sa mga vegetarian.

There'll be a meat pie.

Magkakaroon ng meat pie.

If you are in the north of England, you'd find meat and potato pies.

Kung ikaw ay nasa hilaga ng England, makakahanap ka ng mga pie ng karne at patatas.

They're very popular, but you will not find meat and potato pies down south.

Napakasikat ng mga ito, ngunit hindi ka makakahanap ng mga pie ng karne at patatas sa timog.

Something that I was very upset about when I moved from my hometown

Isang bagay na labis kong ikinalungkot nang lumipat ako mula sa aking bayan

in the north down to London.

sa hilaga hanggang sa London.

I'd really missed my meat and potato pies until I became a

Na-miss ko talaga ang aking karne at patatas na pie hanggang sa naging

vegetarian, and then I didn't care.

vegetarian ako, at pagkatapos ay wala akong pakialam.

But you can also find steak and kidney pies or even better,

Ngunit maaari ka ring makahanap ng mga steak at kidney pie o mas mabuti pa,

a steak and kidney pudding.

isang steak at kidney pudding.

Now, this is a suet pudding.

Ngayon, ito ay isang suet pudding.

It's not the same shortcrust, crumbly pastry that you have in a normal pie.

Hindi ito ang parehong shortcrust, crumbly pastry na mayroon ka sa isang normal na pie.

A pudding is a suet pastry, so it's kind of thick and moist and yeah, it's gooey.

Ang puding ay isang suet pastry, kaya medyo makapal at mamasa-masa at oo, malapot ito.

And we call it a pudding, which is a little unusual because

At tinatawag namin itong pudding, na medyo hindi pangkaraniwan dahil

pudding is normally the word...

karaniwang pudding ang salita...

It's a synonym for dessert.

Ito ay kasingkahulugan ng dessert.

"Would you like pudding after your dinner?"

"Gusto mo ba ng puding pagkatapos ng hapunan mo?"

It's the same as saying, would you like dessert?

Ito ay katulad ng sinasabi, gusto mo ba ng dessert?

"Yes, I would love pudding, please."

"Oo, gusto ko ng puding, please."

Some specific desserts are referred to as puddings.

Ang ilang partikular na dessert ay tinutukoy bilang mga puding.

You can get a summer pudding, for example, or a tapioca pudding, perhaps.

Maaari kang makakuha ng isang summer puding, halimbawa, o isang tapioca puding, marahil.

So, a steak and kidney pudding is not sweet, despite the name pudding

Kaya, ang isang steak at kidney pudding ay hindi matamis, sa kabila ng pangalan na puding

and it doesn't come after the meal.

at hindi ito pagkatapos ng pagkain.

It's definitely the main feature of your meal.

Talagang ito ang pangunahing tampok ng iyong pagkain.

So you can purchase these steak and kidney puddings at a chip shop.

Kaya maaari kang bumili ng mga steak at kidney pudding na ito sa isang chip shop.

What else?

Oh, sometimes they do things like, pizzas and things like that.

Ano pa?

Oh, kung minsan ay gumagawa sila ng mga bagay tulad ng, mga pizza at mga bagay na katulad nito.

In Scotland, I believe this is still the case.

Sa Scotland, naniniwala ako na ito pa rin ang kaso.

If you are a Scot and you're listening and I'm wrong, please

Kung ikaw ay isang Scot at nakikinig ka at ako ay mali, mangyaring

feel free to let me know.

huwag mag-atubiling ipaalam sa akin.

But they will deep fry the pizza for you.

Ngunit ipi-deep fry nila ang pizza para sa iyo.

Normally a pizza is cooked in the oven, but in Scotland they will deep fry the

Karaniwang niluluto ang pizza sa oven, ngunit sa Scotland ay ipi-deep fry nila ang

pizza for you, making it very greasy and uh, probably tastes quite nice.

pizza para sa iyo, ginagawa itong napaka-greasy at uh, malamang na masarap ang lasa.

You can also, and this is the most weird and most wonderful thing

Magagawa mo rin, at ito ang pinakakakaiba at pinakakahanga-hangang bagay

that I was saving to the end.

na iniligtas ko hanggang sa wakas.

You can also, in Scotland, get something called a deep-fried Mars bar.

Maaari ka ring, sa Scotland, makakuha ng tinatawag na deep-fried Mars bar.

Oh, what sounds crazy, doesn't it?

Naku, parang baliw, hindi ba?

A deep-fried Mars bar is the chocolate Mars bar that's got...

Ang piniritong Mars bar ay ang chocolate Mars bar na mayroon...

I'm sure you all know what a Mars bar is.

Sigurado akong alam ninyong lahat kung ano ang Mars bar.

It's got that kind of mixed filling of like a gooey, stringy kind

Ito ay may ganoong uri ng halo-halong pagpuno ng tulad ng isang malapot, stringy uri

of caramely part and a, yeah.

ng karamely bahagi at isang, oo.

I don't really know how to explain the filling of a Mars

Hindi ko talaga alam kung paano ipaliwanag ang pagpuno ng isang Mars

bar, but anyway, it's a Mars bar.

bar, ngunit gayon pa man, ito ay isang Mars bar.

It's covered in batter and then it's deep fried in oil.

Ito ay natatakpan ng batter at pagkatapos ay pinirito sa mantika.

And this is a very much a Scottish thing.

At ito ay isang bagay na Scottish.

I did try one, I spent a lot of time in Scotland and I thought while I'm

Sinubukan ko ang isa, gumugol ako ng maraming oras sa Scotland at naisip ko habang ako

here, you know when in Rome, do as the Romans do, I was in Scotland.

dito, alam mo noong nasa Roma, gawin mo ang ginagawa ng mga Romano, nasa Scotland ako.

So I thought, let's do what the Scots do.

Kaya naisip ko, gawin natin ang ginagawa ng mga Scots.

Let's have a deep-fried Mars bar.

Mag-deep-fried Mars bar tayo.

And it was really nice.

At ito ay talagang maganda.

I know it sounds horrid, but it was delicious.

Alam kong nakakatakot ito, ngunit ito ay masarap.

Very sweet, but also fatty and mm oh, it's just lovely.

Napakatamis, ngunit mataba din at mm oh, ito ay kaibig-ibig.

So if you're ever in Scotland and you have a sweet tooth, I would highly

Kaya't kung ikaw ay nasa Scotland at mayroon kang matamis na ngipin, lubos kong

recommend going to a chip shop and asking for a deep-fried Mars bar.

inirerekumenda ang pagpunta sa isang chip shop at humingi ng isang piniritong Mars bar.

Some of the features of a traditional British fish and chips served from a fish

Ang ilan sa mga tampok ng isang tradisyonal na British fish at chips na inihain mula sa isang fish

and chip shop are, as mentioned, you have to have the salt and vinegar, but also

and chip shop ay, tulad ng nabanggit, kailangan mong magkaroon ng asin at suka, ngunit ang mga

fish and chip shops will wrap your supper, your dinner, or your lunch in paper.

fish and chip shop ay magbabalot sa iyong hapunan, iyong hapunan, o iyong tanghalian. papel.

Now it used to be newspaper, I think, and these days they still

Ngayon ito ay dating dyaryo, sa tingin ko, at sa mga araw na ito ay

do wrap everything in paper.

binabalot pa rin nila ang lahat sa papel.

Often they'll put a fish and chips into a tray so that the fish

Kadalasan ay maglalagay sila ng isda at chips sa isang tray upang

holds it shape, but not always.

mapanatili ito ng hugis ng isda, ngunit hindi palagi.

And then they wrap it in several layers of paper.

At pagkatapos ay binabalot nila ito sa ilang mga layer ng papel.

In some fish and chip shops, they also sell their chips in cones.

Sa ilang mga tindahan ng isda, ibinebenta rin nila ang kanilang mga chips sa mga cone.

So you have these like cardboard cones and a little, it used

So you have these like cardboard cones and a little, it used

to be a little wooden fork.

to be a little wooden fork.

I'm guessing it now is a wooden fork because plastic forks and knives

Sa tingin ko ito ngayon ay isang kahoy na tinidor dahil ang mga plastik na tinidor at kutsilyo

are banned in the UK, I believe.

ay ipinagbabawal sa UK, naniniwala ako.

So it may be a plastic one if that's not correct, or a little wooden

Kaya't maaaring ito ay isang plastik kung hindi tama, o isang maliit na kahoy na

fork with just like two prongs or three prongs to stab at your chips.

tinidor na may katulad na dalawang prong o tatlong prong para sasaksak sa iyong mga chips.

It's fine for chips, it's not very good for eating fish, it's a bit tricky.

Ayos lang sa chips, hindi masyadong masarap kumain ng isda, medyo nakakalito.

But the idea is that you pick up your fish and chips and you go and

Ngunit ang ideya ay kunin mo ang iyong mga isda at chips at pumunta ka at

sit on a wall somewhere, or you go and sit on the seafront or on a

umupo sa isang pader sa isang lugar, o pumunta ka at umupo sa seafront o sa isang

bench in the park, or just outside the shop, standing at the bus stop.

bangko sa parke, o sa labas lamang ng tindahan, nakatayo sa hintuan ng bus.

You pull back some of the folds of paper and you tuck in to your fish and chips.

Ibinalik mo ang ilan sa mga fold ng papel at inilagay mo sa iyong fish and chips.

Delicious.

Masarap.

That's the best way to have it.

Iyan ang pinakamahusay na paraan upang magkaroon nito.

Hopefully, you are not going to be attacked by any seagulls.

Sana, hindi ka aatakehin ng anumang mga seagull.

Now, seagulls, you know the very noisy birds that often live close to the coast.

Ngayon, mga seagull, alam mo na ang napakaingay na mga ibon na madalas nakatira malapit sa baybayin.

That's why they are called seagulls.

Kaya naman tinawag silang seagulls.

They are notorious for stealing people's fish and chips.

Kilala sila sa pagnanakaw ng fish and chips ng mga tao.

The seagulls will swoop down as soon as someone opens up their wraps of paper,

Ang mga seagull ay lilipad pababa sa sandaling may magbukas ng kanilang mga balot ng papel,

pull it back to reveal the delicious food.

hilahin ito pabalik upang ipakita ang masarap na pagkain.

These seagulls will swoop down and snatch the food right out of the person's hand.

Ang mga seagull na ito ay lilipad at aagawin ang pagkain mula mismo sa kamay ng tao.

Now this is becoming even more of a problem because seagulls over

Ngayon ito ay nagiging mas problema dahil ang mga seagull sa paglipas

the years, have become more and more boisterous, more daring.

ng mga taon, ay naging mas maingay, mas matapang.

They just don't care.

Wala lang silang pakialam.

They're not scared of people at all.

Hindi sila natatakot sa mga tao.

Even the local people who, you know, live there, they try everything to

Kahit na ang mga lokal na tao na, alam mo, nakatira doon, sinusubukan nila ang lahat upang

deter these birds, to put them off.

hadlangan ang mga ibong ito, upang ipagpaliban ang mga ito.

You know, they might do things like covering their heads with newspapers,

Alam mo, maaari silang gumawa ng mga bagay tulad ng pagtatakip ng kanilang mga ulo ng mga pahayagan,

waving their arms wildly to keep these birds away, but nothing seems to work.

pag-wagayway ng kanilang mga braso upang ilayo ang mga ibon na ito, ngunit tila walang gumagana.

Now I used the word notorious there when describing these seagulls.

Ngayon ginamit ko ang salitang kilalang-kilala doon kapag naglalarawan sa mga seagull na ito.

I said, seagulls are notorious for stealing people's fish and chips.

Sabi ko, kilalang-kilala ang mga seagull sa pagnanakaw ng fish and chips ng mga tao.

Notorious means famous or well-known, but usually famous

Ang ibig sabihin ng notorious ay sikat o kilala, ngunit karaniwan ay sikat

or well-known for doing something negative, something unfavourable.

o kilala sa paggawa ng isang bagay na negatibo, isang bagay na hindi kanais-nais.

Okay?

Sige?

In this context, it means that seagulls are well known for stealing

Sa kontekstong ito, nangangahulugan ito na ang mga seagull ay kilala sa pagnanakaw ng

people's fish and chips, it's not limited to fish and chips either.

mga fish and chips ng mga tao, hindi rin ito limitado sa fish and chips.

Seagulls will steal pretty much anything.

Ang mga seagull ay magnanakaw ng halos anumang bagay.

So if you've come out of the fish and chip shop with your battered

Kaya kung lumabas ka sa fish and chip shop dala ang iyong battered

sausage, then you better watch out because the seagulls are about.

sausage, mas mabuting mag-ingat ka dahil malapit na ang mga seagull.

And ice creams as well, they will have a go at swooping

At pati na rin ang mga ice cream, sila ay magkakaroon ng pagkakataong lumusong

down and taking your ice cream.

at kunin ang iyong ice cream.

Many a child has, unfortunately, been the victim of a seagull swoop and lost

Maraming bata ang, sa kasamaang-palad, ay naging biktima ng isang seagull swoop at nawala ang

their ice cream either to the seagull or the ice cream has fallen off its

kanilang ice cream sa seagull o ang ice cream ay nahulog mula sa

cone onto the floor, leaving the child in bits, in tears, beside themselves.

kono nito sa sahig, iniwan ang bata sa mga piraso, umiiyak, sa tabi ng kanilang sarili.

So upset that they lost their ice cream that they probably queued a long time for.

Sa sobrang sama ng loob nila nawalan sila ng ice cream na malamang matagal silang nakapila.

Okay, so I'm getting distracted, pulled onto ice cream when we

Okay, kaya nadidistract ako, hinihila ako sa ice cream kapag

need to stick to fish and chips.

kailangan naming dumikit sa fish and chips.

Okay.

Sige.

Time for some real facts now about this much loved British dish.

Oras na para sa ilang tunay na katotohanan ngayon tungkol sa paboritong British dish na ito.

Hopefully you'll find these interesting.

Sana ay mahanap mo ang mga ito na kawili-wili.

So the first fish and chip shop, apparently, opened in London in 1860.

Kaya ang unang fish and chip shop, tila, ay nagbukas sa London noong 1860.

During World War II, fish and chips were one of the few foods

Noong Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig, ang mga isda at chips ay isa sa ilang mga pagkain

that were not rationed in the UK.

na hindi nirarasyon sa UK.

Isn't that crazy?

di ba baliw yun?

That's amazing.

Kahanga-hanga iyon.

They must have had, you know, an abundance of potatoes and an

Tiyak na mayroon sila, alam mo, ng saganang patatas at

abundance of fish even during wartime.

saganang isda kahit noong panahon ng digmaan.

And so people talk about the war and there being huge queues of people, lining

Kaya't pinag-uusapan ng mga tao ang tungkol sa digmaan at mayroong napakalaking pila ng mga tao, na pumipila

the streets to get into their local fish and chip shop, to buy their supper.

sa mga lansangan upang makapasok sa kanilang lokal na tindahan ng isda at chip, upang bumili ng kanilang hapunan.

Now, the world's largest serving of fish and chips was made in 2012 in

Ngayon, ang pinakamalaking paghahatid ng isda at chips sa mundo ay ginawa noong 2012 sa

Yorkshire and weighed 105 pounds.

Yorkshire at may timbang na 105 pounds.

What?

Ano?

What?

That's 47.75 kilograms.

Ano?

Iyon ay 47.75 kilo.

I...

Ako...

should I tell you my weight?

dapat ko bang sabihin sa iyo ang aking timbang?

I am 61 kilograms.

Ako ay 61 kilo.

So this was 47.75 kilograms.

Kaya ito ay 47.75 kilo.

What?

Ano?

That's crazy.

Nakakabaliw yun.

Who on earth would eat that fish and chip supper?

Sino sa lupa ang kakain ng fish and chip na hapunan?

A giant, I imagine.

Isang higante, naiisip ko.

All right, so the fish used for fish and chips, as I said, is typically

Sige, kaya ang mga isda na ginagamit para sa fish and chips, gaya ng sinabi ko, ay karaniwang

cod or haddock, but other types of white fish can be used as well.

bakalaw o haddock, ngunit ang ibang uri ng puting isda ay maaari ding gamitin.

Can you name any other kinds of white fish?

Maaari mo bang pangalanan ang anumang iba pang uri ng puting isda?

Hake comes to mind.

Pumasok sa isip ko si Hake.

Uh.

Uh.

I don't really know my fish, uh, sea bass.

Hindi ko talaga kilala ang isda ko, eh, sea bass.

I don't think they use sea bass in fish and chips, but I guess if the

I don't think they use sea bass in fish and chips, but I guess kung

others are running low, maybe they do.
