Hello Kdmore99 -
What food do you think is the most delicious in your country? If something is better than that, it must be fantastic!
Well, I guess people think "pie and chips" is very good. So, better than that must be really good!
Have you ever eaten "pie and chips"? Philo |

"Pie" refers to a variety of baked dishes made with meat, (and/or) potatoes and vegetables, and covered with a crust (like a fruit pie).
"Chips" are sliced potatoes fried in oil ("french fries").
Maybe you've heard of "fish and chips"?
These dishes are British favorites. :)Philo |
