A BRIT was served up a plate of “fish and chips” during a trip to India – but the dodgy dish he was handed looked nothing like a battered cod.
The unnamed bloke fancied a taste of home during his travels in the subcontinent yesterday so opted for a plate of fish and chips from a restaurant menu.
What arrived at his table looked nothing like the traditional suppers served over the counters of chippies across the UK though.
Instead, the chunks of what were allegedly fish bore an unfortunate resemblance to faeces chucked on a plate.
An image of the chap’s meal left others questioning the dinner as well, with the pitiful plate being a far cry from the British staple.
Served on a small white plate, the man’s dinner came with a strange pure white sauce in a little side dish.
The chips – whilst seemingly much thinner than their British chippy counterparts – appear to be relatively normal, if a bit lacking in portion size.
The star of the show though is the “fish” – which, instead of the usual golden brown, battered fillet of haddock or cod – appears to be six large, dark brown, clumps of meat.
The unidentified fish matter bears a striking and disturbing resemblance to faecal matter, leaving the unfortunate diner speechless.
Sharing the image of his food to social media yesterday the man wrote: “I’m an English man travelling India.
“Fancied some British food and ordered fish and chips… wow, what a sight this was.”
His post received over 16,000 likes and more than 1,900 comments from social media users, likewise taken aback by the bizarre-looking dish.
One user joked: “Just because you caught it floating in the river doesn’t necessarily make it a fish.”
Another wrote: “It’s definitely fish. It’s just recycled.”
A third replied: “Morning prep must be a dream job at this place. Off to the walk-in with a bin, your phone and a roll of toilet paper.”
Another added: “Brown trout. Someone had to say it.”
A fifth joked: “Getting revenge for British imperialism one fried dookie at a time.”
