Speak UP! The 150th b-day of fish and chips!

The article that I've read tells about the 150th b-day of fish and chips. Fish and chips oficially began in 1860 even if no-one knows sure where. According to "the first theory" fish and chips shops was opened by a men called Joshep Malin, in London - "the second theory" say that the father of this dish was a certain Ms Lee.
Fish and chips are considered the best British dish, but the truth is that Italian immigrants have played an important role in their evolution. In fact, we have for example Giovanni Fionda that is the son of two Italians who moved in Scotland, and he tells about his story. He says that, when they arrived there (with his parents and grandfathers included), after the war they came with the will of work and so when they arrived in Scotland Villages they opened a fish and chips shops, but for they said that for them it was like to play. In fact they were used to ploughing the fields and to do difficult things so for them it was really easy. And Italian people love food so they were happy to cook potatoes and fish, giving an Italian chef hand.

My favourite TV series.

American Horror Story is an American horror tv series. The series started in the USA in October 5th, instead in Italy it's started, more or less, in November. This series became successful very quickly. It's created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck.
There are four seasons - which each season is represented as a miniseries, following by a 
different set of characters, settings and stories. It isn't realistic, is not based on something real. The series are:

- The Murder House




- Asylum





- The Coven 



- The Freak Show





My favourite season is the third: "The Coven", that tells about a group of witches that live in New Orleans. This coven of witches fighting against those who want to destroy them.
A few of friends like the programme and in my opinion, the series is really nice and disquieting, but in the meantime is exciting, even if there are some parts too hard to see.
I will recommend this TV series just for those that can see horror TV series, of course.
