Fish and chips, a popular take-away food of the United Kingdom

British cuisine is the heritage of cooking traditions and practices associated with the United Kingdom. Although the UK has a rich indigenous culinary tradition its colonial history has profoundly enriched its native cooking traditions. British cuisine absorbed the cultural influences of its post-colonial territories – in particular those of South Asian and Turkish origin.
