....not in order of their greatness.
1 Eton Mess
What's better than strawberries and cream? Answer: Eton Mess It's strawberries, cream and meringue or pavlova. Perfect for a summer day.
2 Ploughmans
There are many different varieties, but at its most basic you need bread, cheese (cheddar or stilton), and pickle, Branston pickle that is. And then you can add other yummy components such as pickled onions, slaw, ham, salad..... Delicious for lunch or dinner and good for you as well.
3 Sticky Toffee Pudding
This wonderful pudding even has a spectacular name. Take a moist sponge, often with chopped dates, and pour toffee sauce all over it what's not to like? If it's too sweet for you then add some cream, custard, or ice cream to help cut the sweet or just to add to the heavenly deliciousness.
4 Cream Tea
No, it's not cream in your tea. It's a scone, strawberry jam, clotted or Devon cream (to put on your scone), and tea. It's the combination that makes it best in the afternoon to keep you going or give you a wonderful excuse to sit down, relax, and enjoy
.5 Fish and Chips
When thinking of Britain and food, Fish and Chips are always at the top of the list, and rightly so. Best to have a nice big fluffy, well-battered fish and thick, perfectly fried chips. A nice side of peas doesn't hurt either.
6 Curry
One of the best imports from India is Indian food. Currently, the most popular meal in the UK is
chicken tikka masala. Not an actual Indian dish, but made created British tastes.
7 Full English Breakfast
We all need something to get us going for the day. Why not fill up on breakfast favorites like eggs, sausage, bacon, and all the extras that can go along like mushrooms, tomato, fried bread, and the beloved Heinz beans? Cup of tea or coffee as well.
8 Scotch Egg
Supposedly invented at Fortnum & Mason in 1738 it's good anytime of the day and especially for picnics. A hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage, breadcrumbs, and deep-fried. Thank you very much.
9 Shepherd's Pie
Technically shepherd's pie is made with lamb and cottage pie made with beef. In all its forms it's a lovely mixture of meat, onions, and gravy topped with mashed potatoes. A Good hearty meal. Sometimes it gets a bit fancied up with carrots and peas, but there's nothing like the original.
10 Sunday Roast
British tradition at its best. Spend time with the family and enjoy a Sunday Roast. Your pick of meat or combinations, Yorkshire pudding, gravy, and plenty of veg. There should be no need to eat the remainder of the day unless it's pudding.
