What We Eat in England : Traditional foods

Traditional foods which are all my favorites:

Bangers (a plain sausage), mash (mashed potatoes) & Heinz baked beans (which are different in England, although I’m not sure why)

Fish and chips of course

Toad in the hole, with chips, baked beans & gravy - we used have this for lunch on Thursdays at the local ‘greasy spoon’ (English café with no frills food & service). Oh, what is it? It’s bangers served in Yorkshire pudding batter, cooked until crisp on the outside.

Pies. Porter’s restaurant in London has a great selection of these.

Cottage or Shepherd’s pie (one’s lamb, one’s beef). Ground meat (we call it mince) with carrots and such, topped with mash & baked in the oven. cottage pie recipe
Devon clotted cream (which you eat with fresh scones and jam & it tastes like heaven) See iGourmet.com to find out how to get your hands on some.
Fruit crumble (which is similar to an American crisp), typically rhubarb or apple, which you can also serve with warm custard or fresh cream. Find crumble recipe – yummy!
Steamed puddings such as treacle pudding or spotted dick, click for - spotted dick recipe , served with warm custard. Here’s how to make custard from scratch custard recipe - although you can buy a packet version from one of the sites mentioned below to which you just add milk & heat the mixture up.
