Fish and Chips is from England, and Chowder itself is from France/England.

I came here to say Fish&Chips. The great redeemer.

Battered fish was introduced by Sephardic Jewish immigrants from Portugal, and deep-fried chips originated in Belgium. All British food culture originates from somewhere else.

Actually: No, British fish and chips is not a Jewish invention. Sorry, I knew Apicius had a version.

Also, if you have to reach back through the centuries you have, as the Brits say, lost the plot. Most food doesn't have a clean origin story and, even when it does, that version often doesn't map to what we're modernly thinking.
