What is some traditional English food?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

mashed potato

Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. Sausage rolls. Fish and Chips. Blood Pudding. Bangers and mash. Marmite. There are many, many more. Your friend could make cheese (usually sharp cheddar), and sliced pickle sandwiches on hearty bread. That is a classic. To make Yorkshire pudding, suggested by the other poster would be expensive. That is usually made from the fat of Prime Rib, (usually around $10 a pound). Plus you would need to be working with very hot fat. Then you would need to bake it. Just my two cents...

English

You won't find HAGGIS in many places in the states. Very popular in many parts of the UK. Usually made from a sheep's stomach (and several other parts of the sheep). Many foods in England are the same as in the USA but have entirely different names.

Fish and chips, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, Lancashire Hotpot to name just a few.

Most counties in the U.K. have their own traditional dish. You could do a search asking for e.g. the Traditional Dish of Derbyshire or Cornwall, Lincolnshire etc. and you would end up with lots of good suggestions for your friend.

Sticky toffee pudding is fairly easy to make, is relatively healthy (high fiber from the dates, and very little fat in it), doesn't cost a lot, and does not need any hard-to-find ingredients.

I think Yorkshire Pudding will be the easiest and cheapest to make for a class

British family

Bubble and squeak is as cheap as I can think of, or mushy peas.
