Curries are Indian, duh.
How's the goldfish today?

[Hazell B]

Curries are Indian, duh.
How's the goldfish today?

A lot of them were invented for the English ;)
Curried carp is good - but goldfish are a bit small :p :

[Captain VXR]

Don't get me wrong, curries deserve 1 million :facelick: . Curried minnows are even smaller :p

[donKey jote]

what goldfish? :confused:

[Rollo]

Yes I concur. I nominate Chicken Tikka Masala :D

But that's not British you say. But ahah, there is good evidence to suggest that it was invented in Glasgow in 1968. And seeing as Stephen Fry agrees with me, then it must be correct.

[schmenke]

I can't say that I'm all too familiar with British cuisine.
I do enjoy fish 'n chips though :mark:

[vanillagirl85]

warm beer, cos that's all i managed when i was over there...

:(

[Knocker69]

[Skid Marx]

Hmm, when you said British dish, I was thinking along the lines of Posh Spice, or some such "dish"...

[Storm]

Fish n Chips :D

Steak & Kidney pie too....and yes scones with cream and jam :facelick:

I do not nominate the Cumberland sausage though :s

Cumberland Sausage yum yum but not as yummy as Lincolnshire Sausages! :lips: :lips:

[CarlMetro]

Difficult one this, but it would be either...........

Bacon sarnies with tomato sauce and a nice cup of tea

Roast Beef and all the trimmings

Pie, mash and liqour

or a Full English breakfast.

[Eki]

I do enjoy fish 'n chips though :mark:
I do too. Black pudding isn't bad either.

[LotusElise]

Not a huge fan of English food, despite being mostly English, but another vote for fish and chips for me!

[AndySpeed]

One thing I've discovered since being "up north" is the quantities of gravy and chips people eat up here. Not my favourite personally as ketchup is far better.

A good Roast dinner is my favourite meal :)

[Captain VXR]

I've mntioned two already but another is a full English breakfast:
Toast
Baked beans
Fried bread
Sausage
Bacon
Fried egg :facelick:
Some people also have hash browns and mushrooms

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Do the British have a reputation for bad food??

It's the impression I get from Americans and Europeans when they talk about the UK.

You can't beat a fry-up for breakfast and a full Roast Topside dinner.

[slinkster]

Mine would be a difficult choice between... Shepherds Pie or a good old Roast dinner.

Yes and I don't know exactly why. The times I've been there I have not had any problems with food.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

And if you don't like the traditional british food you could just grab a pizza or get some pasta or rice!! :s

[jso1985]

the only British food I know(or at least I'm aware is British) is Fish n' Chips, not bad at all but have tasted better stuff.
But we have "tea" at 5PM, and I'm quite sure that's a British costume but I have no clue if we actually eat the same

Well, it is a standing joke that one of the great oxymorons of the world's language is the two worlds "British Cuisine". Lets face it, us colonials cant say much over here, but man, the Brits eat a lot of food the rest of the world wont touch with a barge pole.

Meat Pies, Fish and Chips and roast beef are the best Britain seems to offer.

Of course, I come from a land where the two most popular indigenous food products are poutine ( french fries with gravy and cheese curds ) and a drink called the "Bloody Caesar". Roast moose and fiddlehead ferns don't count, that was just survivial at one point....

[LeonBrooke]

Definitely!

What's the difference between the European Heaven and the European Hell?

In the European Heaven: English are the police, French the cooks, Germans the mechanics, Italians the lovers and Swiss organize it all.

In the European Hell: Germans are the police, English the cooks, French the mechanics, Swiss the lovers and Italians organize it all.

[LotusElise]

Wouldn't mind the Italians being put in charge of cooking either!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

The French can't cook.

And what do the Finnish do Eki?

[Donney]

I don't know about the Fins but the Spanish would be glad to enjoy it all! :p :

And BTW the French can cook!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

The French can cook as much crap as the British do.

[CarlMetro]

The French can't cook.

And you come to that conclusion through your vast experiences of French culinary knowledge? Or perhaps your gastronomic knowledge in general?

I've been to France many times, and whilst I would prefer Italian cooks, the French would come a very close second. It is one country where I have never had a bad meal yet.

[LotusElise]

Spanish cooks would do for me as well.

Hit the nail on the head :up:




Sorry but I prefer my snails left in the garden and my legs left on frogs!

I don't think there's much wrong with what you could term British cuisine, though I wouldn't open a British restaurant abroad because I can understand why people wouldn't want to eat there.

Personally, I think the Yorkshire pudding, when done properly, is one of the finest examples of British cuisine.

[Eki]

The French can't cook.

And what do the Finnish do Eki?
Drive a car.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Drive a car.

:up:

Eki-ninenn

Apparently they've just opened a Fish&Chips in Hannover. Haven't been there yet but I will. :)
I doubt they'll have decent fish though, and I'm almost certain I'll be as disappointed as I was with the Indian restaurants here. :(

I once ate an approximation of fish and chips in Berlin. It wasn't great.

However, Indian (and other Asian) restaurants are improving in Germany. I've been to a few good ones in recent times, and one of my favourite Indian restaurants was in Berlin. Sadly, it's closed recently.

[LeonBrooke]

Sorry but I prefer ... my legs left on frogs!

I prefer my legs attached to my hips, personally, but if you're different that's okay. It's not my place to judge.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Are the british the only people to eat beans on toast?

[johnny shell]

british dish? beans on toast?

I was going to post something about gwenith paltrow. she's british NOW, right?

but what the hell is beans on toast? and why would you put them there?

beans and toast are both good. so why ruin it by mixing them?

sometimes I still wonder about you people. :laugh:

So what is americas national dish ?


You should try it! It's great in the morning when you have a hang over and perfect for students who can't cook!

Maybe british baked beans are better than other countries?

Also is beans on baked potato a british thing?

[johnny shell]

I love eating baked beans with potato chips!

america has a lot of dishes. like pizza for example. and french fries.

[futuretiger9]

My favourite British dish is Sausage and Mash.

[btracer]

Can't beat a bit of Jacket Potato with cheese and beans and a plate of chips and gravy to the side. Absolutly lovely, and yes i do love my carbs!

[jso1985]

america has a lot of dishes. like pizza for example. and french fries.

erm... :s aren't Pizzas from Italy and french fries from erm... France?(although a Belgian guy told me once they're actually from Brussels)

[LeonBrooke]

I think you'll find that the New Zealanders invented that dish... ;)

[johnny shell]

honestly this beans and toast idea just won't leave me. especially after I started talking about beans and potato chips.

plus, it's a dish I can make myself.

I think I'm going to have to give it a try!

[Eki]

Yes, I've tried it. Have to admit I got the idea from the British, but it was good. Add some fried bacon and molten cheese..

[Zsolt]

My mom makes a killer meat pie. Some of the foods mentioned I have never heard of, can anyone of you put some of the foods in "American" terminology?

/Meat pie w/spicy taco sauce...mmm....

[LotusElise]

Is fish pie, the kind that's topped with mashed potato, a British dish?
If so, then it's my favourite.

[Zsolt]

Fish pie??? What kind of fish? What else is in that?

[Bezza]

Difficult one this, but it would be either...........

Bacon sarnies with tomato sauce and a nice cup of tea


This phrase is wrong for two reasons.

1) There is no such thing as bacon sarnies. Its bacon BUTTIES.

2) You put BROWN sauce with bacon butties. Tomato sauce is a crime.

[Mp3 Astra]

Egg 'n' Bacon Bap OR possibly a Pukey (Puka) pie. Also Pork chops. Also Christmas dinner, also...

[viper_man]

Sunday Roast, it can not be beaten.

Or a good english fry up, especially after a night out.

Or a bacon sanger, with tomato sauce.

[Brown, Jon Brow]
