fish and chips
Sunday roast
fish and chips
shepards pie; steak and kidney pie; bangers and mash


are a few
Beef wellington. Beef steak en croute with a mustard sauce... never seen anything like it out of England, or maybe it's the only palatable English dish I ever found.
anything boiled
bangers the name says it all... they are sausages. you can get them wrapped in pastry then they are a sausage roll.. ummmmmmmm.. goes strait to the thighs...
Shepherd's Pie is very tasty.
full English breakfast= bacon, sausage, egg, baked beans, tomotoes,mushrooms, black pudding, and hash browns with a couple of peices of toast a slice of fried bread and a nice cup of tea to go with it. a meal to help you on the way to a mans heart :-)
Spotted Dick, pie and mash, jellied eels, scouse, roast beef and all the trimmings, boiled beef and carrots, bangers and mash, bread and butter pudding, bread pudding, fish and chips, eels with pie and liquor, the list is endless but finding some of the things not so easy. In london for traditional food the eastend is best, that is if you don't want the mucked about updated all health food version which has been totally neutered. In Manchester, sorry but I don't know. Bon appetit.
bangers(fried sausages) and mash(mashed potatoes), fish and chips, ale or lager, tea and crumpets
burgers. there is no food that I would really call American... we just steal other peoples food but hamburger and frys are the 1st thing that comes to mind beside greasy pizza
Roast dinners are typical English food
maybe biscotti and tea
';Full English'; is recognised worldwide as a hearty breakfast... but I don't know a single English person that actually eats it - unless we're on holiday or treating ourselves!





There are SO many English dishes that I can't cope with what to offer - and what to leave out...maybe you should check out recipezaar.





You can type in what you are looking for and recipezaar offers recipes that have been tried and tested by its members.





Good Appetite (in English!)





....but I do like a ';full roast'; (which you probably won't find in a recipezaar search because it's not a specific recipe, it's a combination of meat and veg and - hmmm - gravy.)
Roast Beef %26amp; Yorkshire Pudding of course





but we are now turning towards Chicken Tika Massala as a traditional meal
I don't really think there is a typical British dish anymore, there are so many influences from different cultures now. Recently Chicken Tikka Masala has become the most popular meal here. If you want old regional or national meals you can't go wrong with things like,





Roast Dinners


Shepherds Pie


Cottage Pie


Pie and Mash


Bubble and Squeak


Fish and Chips


Faggots and Mash


Stew
