The English make some tasty deserts. And of course fish and chips!

I have always liked a ploughman’s lunch, bangers and mash and shephard’s pie along with a pint.

A nice good beef roast is acceptably English. Prime rib. Mmmmmmmm……

For some strange reason, a Frenchman who calls Englishmen Rosbifs believes that it is insulting.

I like a nice Shepherd’s Pie.

ENGLISH MUFFENS

Sherry trifle! Yorkshire pudding with roast beef!

What, no mention of the United Sates? What food(s) do we come under?

Probably piza, Josh

Feh. My sister went to England, and all she ate was bland paste.

We’re from Mexico :D

hey, with the right blend of sauces and seasonings you can easily turn that bland paste into spicy paste.

Hey! I like English tarts! ☼

GoodQuestion, what kind of English tarts? SNERK!!

Love Scones.

I’d have to say steak & kidney pie is my favorite.

To say (truthfully) that English food isn’t spicy isn’t the same as saying it’s flavorless. They’re good with sweets and savories, and they’ve got marvellous cheeses (sharp, not necessarily pungent). They do have an unfortunate fondness for boiling things into submission, but that’s primarily an issue with vegetables, and I don’t like vegetables in the first place…

Soon we will live in a world without land animals and we will have fish in the ocean again………….. We will be vegetarians and eat a good tasting, healthy, balanced diet by preparing vegetables and fish properly with herbs and spices. Currently, it is not the norm here in North America, however with the proper knowledge and ingredients it is possible………….

Once upon a time I had to spend a month on a British military base - the eggs were fried in mutton grease. Actually, everything was fried in mutton grease. They LOVED mutton grease, AND loved mutton, for God’s sake! I STILL despise mutton grease (and mutton)…

(This was, of course, some years ago - possibly their dietary habits have changed.)

vindaloo - british equivalent of american pizza, from what i hear

My 50 year-old ex has lived in Australia almost her whole life, and while she’s had lamb innumerable times she can’t recall ever having eaten mutton…

(But Commonwealth countries still use animal lard as shortening a lot, while more civilized countries tend more towards butter or vegetable oils. I’ve heard that mutton fat is particularly nasty, as Ushindi notes.)

Yorkshire pudding!

st2: I don’t eat ANYTHING sheepy…

English chocolates are seriously underrated.

At this time of night I’m having trouble remembering where I stayed in London, just a few blocks from the British Museum; but being a very nice hotel it had wonderful “English breakfasts”. Its dinner menu was very worthwhile too.

Ah - the Raddington! :)

Spain isn’t a favorite and England is?!

How about we just forget the whole thing and go watch hockey.

Ham and cheddar cheese on an English muffin is a great way to start the day … then some a Doc’s Nuclear Coffee of course.
