ATTN: All good Englishmen

[Solemnsaint]

I just stumbled out of my local pub here in San Diego California and I loved the meal I ate at this establishment!!! Bangers and mash. Delish! But I sit and wonder, what are real English/British dishes like? Do any of you fine gentlemen have any home cooked meals your willing to share with foreigners? I would love you folks to post rescipes of your favorite dishes. I'll cook em' and offer them to my friends and family. What do you say???! BTW I love English stouts, but I'd die for good Irish stouts. Please share with one food loving man. I had a Banana Bread Lager tonight that blew my top- from England...

Are good Scotsmen allowed to reply? This thread will probably get moved to another part of the site but if you're looking for British cooking check out www.jamieoliver.com/recipes . I use his cookbooks and he has some good stuff. He is also a champion of using simple healthy ingredients so you can eat well and not have to worry about piling on the pounds.

I had no idea what Bangers were. Word of advice, don't google it at work.

DH is from York; I'll see if I can get my MIL's Yorkshire pudding recipe for you. Tasty stuff.

Reminds me of my college days - an expat British couple started up a restaurant with real English food, and even had Watney's on tap. Perfect thing to wash down Cornish pasties

Quick warning-most of the suggestions already given are not suitable if you're watching your cholesterol!

Top Trumps - Roast Beef with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and gravy, served with horseradish sauce and English mustard. (optional veg. cabbage then if there are any left-overs you can make Bubble & Squeek!)

I'm getting REALLY hungry now

As a Glaswegian I can confirm. If it can't be deep fried it's not worth eating.

Lest we forget, in our roll-call of British food...

Chicken Tikka Masala
any Biryani
Chicken Vindaloo
Lamb Rogan Josh

What would Olde Engerlunde be without such fine Indian fayre from the Raj?

 

[John Kreiner]

Ever tried Irish Breakfast?

Half a dozen of oysters and a pint of Guinness...
