-====Food====
 [[Freedom fries]] are a popular food item which originated in Anglei and is widely consumed there.
-====Drink====
-The nation's most renowned alcoholic export is [[jenwer]], a beverage made from the infusion of various botanicals including juniper into a base of neutral grain spirit. Distilleries specializing in the production of jenwer can be found across the length and breath of Anglei, with more than 300 logged by the government in 2018; as of 2004 it is also the nation's largest alcoholic export by value. While jenwer-drinkers nearer the equator tend to mix the spirit with various tonic waters, the fashion in Anglei is to mix it with ginger ale, ginger beer or fruitades.
-As well as grain-based drinks, the nation produces an increasing quantity of wine. Suffering from a poor reputation for much of history, intensive study of leading viticultures such as that of [[Burgundie]] from the later 19th century onwards, combined with rigorous scientific study of oenology in recent decades, has seen the quality and reception of Ænglish wine improve considerably. Standout varietals include the Riesling and Spätburgunder grown along the slopes in the western part of the country, whose mild climate and loamy soils have proven ideal for contemporary cultivation. Experimental viticulture on the irrigated high plains south of Stretton has also given rise to Malbecs which enjoy a growing reputation, although they remain in their infancy.
-===Sport===
-{{wpl|Association football}} is by far the most prominent sport in Anglei, and the men's Football Association Conference is one of the world's most-watched leagues. Teams from Anglei regularly appear in - and make deep inroads into - continental competitions, while millions of fans watch their teams either in-person or on state television every week. Football has been hailed as a unifying force in the culturally diverse nation, with its origins as the "working man's game" similarly endearing it to left-wing political groups and the nation's national mythos. Women's football is also increasingly popular among mainstream sports fans in Anglei, with men's teams in the national divisions legally obligated to share facilities with their women counterparts.
-No other sport is as popular as football, but the nation's abundance of waterways have long fostered a strong cultural association with swimming that makes the nation a notable presence at international athletics tournaments; even Ænglish athletes competing in entirely different disciplines generally incorporate swimming into their training as a low-impact way of building endurance - a strategy which has reaped rewards at the [[Istroyan Games]]. Substantial swimming complexes can be found in every major city, often with adjoining gymnasia, saunas and similar facilities. This has been accentuated by the government's post-2000 National Fitness Drive to combat the effects of a sedentary lifestyle, with all facilities state-owned and consequently heavily subsidized.
-Baseball, although nowhere near as popular in Anglei as in eastern Levantine nations, enjoys significant viewership in Anglei and is the second most popular organized sport. The nation sports one team in the [[Continental Baseball Conference]], the Northwick Knights, who joined the league in [[1961]].
