Traditional British food...there's loads.

[Sparked_26]

In response to the other thread (the full English) including cakes and whatever, and whatever shite the Scots have come up with. There is actually loads when you think about it especially including sauces and baked goods. Here is a few to get us started -

Fish and chips



Sunday Roast



Cottage pie and/or shepherd's pie



Toad-in-the-hole

[Tom Cruise]

Cornish pasties

Cricket tea (all kinds of cakes, scones, pastries, sandwiches etc etc)



Steak and ale pie



English Trifle



Spaghetti Bolognese (the proper Italian version is ****)

You know what - when I went to Italy, I couldn't help but notice how much better the Italian food was in USA!

It was weird... Some of the food I had was so foul, I almost wanted to spit it out

Curry and pint.

I think Chicken Tikka Masala actually is British. Invented in Glasgow.

I like most Italian food.

Bolognese sauce as they know it though is like a peasant food. Loads of veg, beef, tomato puree (which made it crazy rich) and that was about it. I cant remember exactly what was in it but all you could taste was the richness of the tomato puree.

We put garlic, tinned toms, basil, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, some red wine if you are feeling fancy and a bunch of other stuff in there to bring out the flavour

It is good there to be honest.

I am from London though originally to that end....Pie and Mash



No bigging this up. It is legitimately awful. People are going mad that the old pie and mash shops are closing down in the East End of London. It is because the people that like itare either dead or close to death.

It needs a revamp. They don't even butter in the mash. Dry as fuck. The pie and standard and that sauce is the stuff of nightmares.

Proper Italian carbonara is a bit rough too. I go proper trigger happy with the cream and parmesan. I think tradionally it is a little 'dryer'.

Everything goes into my Bolognese. Worcestershire sauces is crucial though usually stick some ketchup in there as well as red wine.
