Gimme some examples. I’m from the south so we never had shyt like this growing up. Just running through the list I can for sure stomach the fish, bacon sandwich and Sunday roast. Beyond that I’m struggling.
I’ve had Tika masala before and it was good. But that was from an Indian restaurant. The UK version might be awful, I dunno.
Toad in the hole is sausage in batter that’s served with gravy.
Cauliflower cheese is cauliflower in a cheese sauce like similar to Mac and cheese only with cauliflower.
Cornish pasty is ground beef, with potatoes, onions and carrots baked in pastry, side note this is where Jamaican beef patty’s come from.
A ploughman’s lunch is a mish mash of bits and pieces, kinda like a charcuterie board or a deconstructed sandwich.
Welsh rarebit is like a croque monsieur but without the ham. So a cheese sandwich with a cheese sauce or bechemel sauce on top that has been grilled under the salamander
Bubble and squeak is kind of like a left over dish. It is mashed potatoes and cabbage in a frying pan that is fried with butter till crisp, apparently the name comes from the sound.
Beef wellington is a beef joint covered in mustard, that is browned then covered in chopped mushrooms that have been sweated off. This is then wrapped in Parma ham then in short crust pastry and baked. It is served with beef and red wine gravy and what ever sides. Don’t miss out.
A scotch egg is a boiled egg covered in sausage meat rolled in egg and breadcrumbs and deep fried till golden. It’s really good but I prefer when the egg is runny.
You can buy it in supermarkets cold, but it’s much better hot and fresh.
Lancashire hot pot is a lamb stew covered in potato slices and baked in the oven.
Pork pie is ground pork in pastry and baked till golden. Pork stock is poured into the pie then cooled down which makes the stock set like a jelly. It’s good tho.
All savoury pies are more or less the same; cuts of meat, stewed or simmered in its own gravy or creamy sauce then put in pastry case and baked. Side note these have been British street food since at LEAST the Victorian times.
