Sheperd's pie and and real english breakfast with all the trimmings.
I'll go for roast leg of lamb, but not with mashed potatoes. Par-boil the potatoes and just before the roast is 'done' pop them in the roasting pan. Meanwhile cook some verge-tables. Take out the roast and let it rest. Turn up the oven temperature and leave the potatoes to roast. Pour off some of the fat from the roasting pan into a frying pan and mix in some flour (my grandmother used regular flour, but I prefer cornflour) and add some of the water from the drained vegetables until it starts to thicken. My mother used to cook carrots and turnips to a mush and then mash them, adding some butter, but then my mother over cooked all vegetables. You now have a leg of lamb, which should be a little pink, your vegetables, perfectly cooked roast potatoes and gravy. All you need to make a little mint sauce. Many people are disgusted at the idea, but lamb can be very fatty and the vinegar in the mint sauce 'cuts the fat.' Mint sauce: Freshly picked mint leaves, hacked and put in a small jug. Add some distilled malt vinegar to cover, and a smidgen of sugar. For the faint hearted it really is advisable to serve the mint sauce seperately. Each to his own!
Then, of course, there is a roast of pork with really crispy crackling (the skin) served with a mix of vegetables and (would you believe it?) apple sauce. We Brits are crazy, but try it! It works.
The most common and typical foods eaten in Britain include the sandwich, fish and chips, pies like the cornish pasty, trifle and roasts dinners. Some of our main dishes have strange names like Bubble & Squeak and Toad-in-the-Hole.
The staple foods of Britain are meat, fish, potatoes, flour, butter and eggs. Many of our dishes are based on these foods.

A good old fashioned roast with veggies. They call the British meat and two veg in France and now I know it is for a good reason.
