You may
already have several ideas about typical British food, but the most popular
dish in England at the moment is… curry!
|
British food has traditionally been based on beef,
lamb, pork, chicken and fish and generally served with potatoes and one other vegetable.
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.
Main meal dishes
This is England's traditional Sunday lunch, which is a family affair.
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.
