Food and Drinks in Norwich

Like in the rest of the country, you can find every kind of food and drink, in supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsbury etc. Also in markets: Norwich has a traditional market in the center of the city where you can buy meat, fish, vegetables etc. The prices in the supermarket are quite similiar to the Spanish supermarkets. Anyway in the market the meat and fish the prices are more expensive.

In front of the market there's an Arcade similiar to Burlington Arcade in London, there you can find one of the best chocolate shops in the city.

You should try the English traditional meal in the Pub. The word pub (meaning Public House), most Spanish people think that the pubs are bars where you can drink a typical pint of beer, but usually they don't eat inside.
The typical meal in England you can eat in the pubs are: Fish and Chips, Cottage Pie, Toad in the hole, Yorkshire Pudding and the Sunday Roast. Batter, very typical in English cooking, is a liquid mixture, usually based on one or more flours combined with liquids such as water, milk or beer. They usually cover the meals with this, like the famous fish and chips.

About drinks, the beer is the most typical drink in the pubs, there's a measure (The pint) if it's too much for you, you can order a half pint. You can find three kinds of beer: Lager, stout and Ale, this two latter are more typically, specially the Ale because they must pull three times to fill a glass of beer.

In Norwich there're very interesting pub like a Black Horse, Unthanks Arms, Gardeners Arms and the probably oldest pub in Norwich called Adam and Eve.
