i also do not understand why this is written in english. are british tourists supposed to come here to enjoy a traditional chippy
any foreign tourists for that matter
@codl maybe the point is to seem more authentic?
in our experience, quite a lot of restaurants use the foreign word for foreign food at least in the US (or sometimes for non-foreign food in order to seem Fancier™)

@Felthry ok for "fish & chips" but why is "consider this British classic meal" in english
it's not even correct
like yeah marketers like to use english because it's "cool" but they generally know to stop at one or two keywords. french people like english words but don't like english sentences
@codl ah I didn't see that part
I suspect a lot of even native english speakers wouldn't be able to tell you why "consider this british classic meal" is wrong, though--it *is* wrong, the adjectives are in the wrong order, but from all the grammar that's taught in schools that looks perfectly correct. So I don't blame someone for getting it wrong, particularlyl if it's their second language

@Felthry yeah, i mean the fact that it's wrong isn't what bothers me the most
french people have bad english, largely. i never see full english sentences out in the wild, even in the name of authenticity, unless it's for tourists. or brits that came to our countryside to retire
