American lady enrages Brits after consuming fish and chips utilizing ‘loopy’ technique

An American woman has sparked outrage for eating her fish and chips with her hands on a visit to London.  

Allison Kuch, from Orange County in California, said she flew ‘all the way over’ to the UK to try the British delicacy for the first time. 

She went to the Mayfair Chippy after seeing it on Instagram, explaining the name to her TikTok followers by clarifying: ‘As in like fish and chippys.’

Mother-of-one Allison, 29, was clearly impressed by her meal and said it was the ‘best fish’ she’d ever had after trying it in a video

She explained that she’d only ever had fish and chips from McDonald’s before, so was keen to try it the traditional way.  

But her British followers were left horrified by the way she ate the fish, picking the whole fillet up in her hands like a gigantic chicken nugget.

Dangling the fillet in the air, Allison said: ‘Look at this fish and chips! Are we joking?

‘I flew all the way over here for this. This is officially the best fish I have ever had.’ 

Brits were left shocked by the fact that Allison hadn’t chosen to cut up her fish with a knife and fork. 

They wrote on social media: ‘Americans on TikTok loooove to eat fish and chips with their hands??? Why? You’re in Mayfair? Did nobody give you a dirty look?? That’s craaazy but go off I guess lol’;

‘The knife and fork sat on the table’;

‘I’m dying at you picking it up with your fingers’;

‘I love when Americans visit the U.K. and get fish and chips and eat the fish with their hands like it’s a giant chicken nugget’ 

‘Streets are saying we don’t eat fish and chips with our hands. Why didn’t I already know that.’

However others firmly defended their right to eat the meal however they choose.  

They added: ‘Are you… not supposed to?’;

‘Obviously you eat fish and chips with yours hands’;

‘Beans on toast Twitter always has so much to say. But like how else are you supposed to eat it? That’s definitely finger food.’

On her way to the eatery, Allison explained: ‘I am craving fish and chips. I’ve never had fish and chips so I don’t know how I’m craving it. The only fish and chips I’ve ever had has been from McDonald’s.’

After sitting down, she then picked up the chips with her fingers, before doing the same thing with the fish, dipping it in the tartar sauce and squeezing on the lemon. 

She also tried Shepherd’s Pie for the first time, luckily using a fork this time. 

However, she wasn’t too impressed, concluding: ‘It just tastes like loaded mashed potatoes.’
