I am qualified chef, been in the business for 20 years, but now I've changed career and ended up in the office, although it is a office that deals with catering and domestic work!. But I still enjoy cooking at home, at my leisure!. I just got fed up with it for my work!.
Some popular and tasty dishes we Brits eat include good old roast meat (beef, chicken, pork or lamb) with all the trimmings, sausage and mash, pies (including pork pie which is eaten cold) and we like puddings too like apple/rhubarb crumble, spotted dick, jam sponge all served with custard, trifle!.

Jamie Oliver doesn't know everything!. I used to call Dalmation dogs 'blotting paper dogs'!.
Steak and kidney pie, made with a crust of puff pastry!.
Steak and kidney pudding, steamed in a pudding basin lined and topped with suet pastry!.
Lancashire hotpot, mutton (not lamb) cooked in one pot layered with veg and with sliced potato on the top!. This is cooked slowly in the oven and the top layer of potato crisps and browns!.
Slices of grilled gammon ham served with boiled new potatoes, broad beans and parsley sauce - a white sauce flavoured with parsley!.
English sausages served with mashed potatoes and bread sauce (milk brought to the boil with an onion stuck with cloves and thickened with bread crumbs!.
Roast leg of lamb served with roast potatoes (parboiled and browned around the joint), mint sauce, fresh garden peas and a sauce (gravy) made by stirring flour into the fat in the roasting tin (while the roast is 'resting') , and gradually adding the water from the parboiled potatoes and the accompanying veg!.
A pork joint with the skin left on!. Score the skin and rub salt in!. Start the roast at a high temperature to the crisp the skin (crackling), then reduce the heat!. Serve with roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables, gravy (see above) and apple sauce!. (Cooking apples boiled down slowl y - don't add any sugar!)!.
Cauliflower cheese!. Par boil the cauliflower and drain!. Make a white sauce and add grated English cheese (Cheddar)!. Put the cauliflower into an oven-proof dish, cover with the cheese sauce, decorate with slices of tomato, sprinkle with more grated cheese and pop under the grill until the cheese starts to bubble and brown!.
Shall I go on!?
I don't often cook English style, but English food is not as bad as it's made out to be!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Spotted Dick! I'm not kidding, it's a very traditional dessert! It's a steamed pudding cake with currents which "spot" the cake!. The English slang for dog is "dick" and for a dalmation, it's a "spotted dick"! Www@FoodAQ@Com
