Bubble and Squeak
Roast Beef
Toad in the Hole (yum!)
Blood Pudding
Meat Pies
Steak and Kidney Pie
Melton Mulberry Pie
(Lots of different meat pies)
Plum Pudding (a Christmas must)
and, and, and...
These are traditional things, although curries are also very much a staple now there.
You've not had breakfast until you've had a good English fry up. Fried everything: meat, tomatoes, bread... Hard on the heart, but, oh, so, good!
Teas are known of course, although outside England, they have the wrong idea. In the south west you have Cream teas, scones, clotted cream, jams, etc. This is early to mid afternoon. In the north, tea is more like supper (dinner is lunch), with an actual meal.
You can get fish and chips in England, but my trips there did not see all that many shops selling it.
Curries have long surpassed local English food in the UK, which is due to Indian and Pakistani influence. Many people from these regions came to the UK and opened restaurants, much like Italians in other parts of the world.
Some other popular local dishes include:
Roast Beef
Yorkshire Pudding
Toad-in-the-Hole
Cottage Pie
Shepherd's Pie
Lancashire Hotpot
Bubble and Squeak
Bangers and Mash
Black Pudding
Bacon Roly-Poly
Cumberland Sausage Pie
They're also still famous for afternoon tea even though the tradition is practiced far less these days. Tea and scones with jam and clotted cream (together known as a cream tea) are typical, along with butterfly cakes, sponge cakes, biscuits and no-crust cucumber sandwiches.
The "Full English Breakfast" is another thing -
Consists of several courses, traditionally a starter (fruit juice, prunes, grapefruit), cereal, a main course, tea with milk, toast and (in England) marmalade. Variations are possible in an unlimited number. The typical breakfast plate has scrambled eggs, sausage, black pudding, bacon, mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns, and half a tomato.
english food has a reputation to be bad because industrialization brought in cheap canned food, then the wars made rationing necessary. several entire generations had eaten mostly out of cans and packages so it took them a while to cook good food again.
probably the most well known English dish is roast beef
theres even a chain of English style pubs in France called "the frog and roast beef" French meets English.
Not a chance!
There's "bubble and squeak", "bangers and mash", champ potatoes, neeps and tatties, spotted dick, and those are just a tiny few of the common foods with funny names!
Cheeses abound (Cheddar is a town where... you guessed it), and game birds, lamb, beef, seafood of all types (Dover sole, anyone?)...
The list goes on and on.
Even Worcestershire Sauce, descended from the Roman 'garum' is a notable English culinary contribution!
Best wishes!
No. When I think of English food, I think of plenty of other foods other than just fish and chips.
-bread pudding
-those weird boiled eggs they eat for breakfast
-mutton
-I think of beer.
-I think of tea.
-fish and chips, of course
-other things, too, but those are the first things that pop in my head.
English food for the most part is terrible unless you count the English muffin and eggs benedict
BAD= black pudding, Haggis, Irish cabbage wraps
Go eat good food like French, Italian, Chinese anything and if the french gut is a bad cook DON'T EAT
