What's a traditional english (not british) meal?!
This is England's traditional Sunday lunch, which is a family affair.
Recipe
Yorkshire Pudding
This dish is not usually eaten as a dessert like other puddings but instead as part of the main course or at a starter.
Yorkshire pudding, made from flour, eggs and milk, is a sort of batter baked in the oven and usually moistened with gravy.
The traditional way to eat a Yorkshire pudding is to have a large, flat one filled with gravy and vegetables as a starter of the meal. Then when the meal is over, any unused puddings should be served with jam or ice-cream as a dessert. text taken from and copyright of projcetbritain.com

Toad-in-the-Hole (sausages covered in batter and roasted.)

Recipe
Roast Meats ( cooked in the oven for about two hours)
Typical meats for roasting are joints of beef, pork, lamb or a whole chicken. More rarely duck, goose, gammon, turkey or game are eaten.
Beef is eaten with hot white horseradish sauce, pork with sweet apple sauce and lamb with green mint sauce.
These three platefuls of food were served up in a pub.
I would say that they are enormous portions and not what a typical British person would eat in one sitting.
Steak and Kidney Pie with chips and salad
Cornish Pastie with chips, baked beans and salad Chicken Salad
Fish and chips
Fish (cod, haddock, huss, plaice) deep fried in flour batter with chips (fried potatoes) dressed in malt vinegar. This is England's traditional take-away food or as US would say "to go". Fish and chips are not normally home cooked but bought at a fish and chip shop ("chippie" ) to eat on premises or as a "take away"
Ploughman's Lunch
This dish is served in Pubs. It consists of a piece of cheese, a bit of pickle and pickled onion, and a chunk of bread. text taken from and copyright of projcetbritain.com

Recipe
Pie and Mash with parsley liquor
A very traditional East End London meal.
The original pies were made with eels because at the time eels were a cheaper product than beef. About fifty years ago, mince beef pies replaced the eels and have now become the traditional pie and mash that people know.
The traditional pie and mash doesn't come without its famous sauce known as liquor which is a curious shade of green and definitely non-alcoholic. The liquor tastes much nicer than it looks (it's bright green!).
Jellied eels are also an East End delicacy often sold with pie and mash
Bubble & Squeak text taken from and copyright of projcetbritain.com
Typically made from cold vegetables that have been left over from a previous meal, often the Sunday roast. The chief ingredients are potato and cabbage, but carrots, peas, brussels sprouts, and other vegetables can be added. The cold chopped vegetables (and cold chopped meat if used) are fried in a pan together with mashed potato until the mixture is well-cooked and brown on the sides. The name is a description of the action and sound made during the cooking process.

Brief descriptions
of English meals,
dishes & beverages
Meals:
Fish & Chips
Deep fried batter-dipped fish (usually cod) accompanied by french fries. They are flavored with a liberal sprinkling of salt and malt vinegar.
Full English Breakfast
A substantial morning meal of eggs, bacon, sausages, smoked fish, black pudding, and other offerings.
High Tea
A late afternoon "snack meal" with tea. Classic fare includes scones or biscuits spread with butter, jam and clotted cream - and small, crustless, open-faced sandwiches.
Ploughman's Lunch
A large piece of cheese with bread and pickles served in pubs. Ale is the favorite accompaniment.
Pub Grub
Defines snacks and quick-serve dishes sold in pubs. More often than not, it is of dubious quality.
Sunday Roast
The family and relatives gather around the table on Sunday afternoons for a traditional meal of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, vegetables, and gravy.
Individual specialties:
Bangers & Mash
Sausage (banger) and mashed potatoes with gravy.
Black Pudding
Fatty, starchy sausage thickened with pig's blood.
Bubble & Squeak
Crispy, pan-fried savory cake made with leftover potatoes and cabbage.
Cornish Pasty
Turnover stuffed with minced meat, onions and vegetables (particularly potatoes).
Lancaster Hot Pot
Meat and veggie casserole covered with sliced potatoes.
Shepherd's Pie
Chopped lamb pie topped with mashed potatoes and grated cheese. Cottage Pie is similar, but made with beef.
Steak & Kidney Pie
The above meats are mixed with onions and mushrooms, then crowned with a pastry crust and baked.
Toad in the Hole
Baked batter-coated sausage.
Yorkshire Pudding
Souffle-like baked specialty made with flour, milk and egg. Served with roast beef.
Other foods:
Cheese
England produces world-acclaimed cheeses, including the tangy Cheddar and creamy blue-cheese Stilton.
Seafood
Because no part of England is farther than 100 kilometers (60 miles) from the sea, fresh seafood is readily available. Dover Sole is the finest catch.
Beverages:
Beer
The English are primarily ale (not lager) drinkers. The strong, hoppy Bitters is the most popular.
Cider
Both hard (sometimes quite potent) and soft ciders have many fans.
Tea
England is a tea (not coffee) drinking nation. Its citizens soundly prefer black over green teas. The brew is usually served with milk and sugar.
