British Food is awesome. It's not very colorful or ultra complex but it's the kinda food that warms the soul.

  • A good Sunday Roast with yorkshire pudding, lamb, roasted potatoes, peas, and gravy
  • Fish and Chips served with a good curry or mushy peas
  • Fresh warm scones with clotted cream and jam
  • A proper fry up with a cup of tea
  • Beef Wellington
  • Pie Mash
  • Meat pies
  • Bridies
  • Scotch Eggs
  • Minemeat Pies
  • Spotted Dick (Yeah yeah)
  • Treacle Tart
  • Banoffee Pie

There are few things that bring me more joy than popping into a Greggs on a cold rainy morning for an overheated cup of generic tea and a sausage roll.

Those sound good to have now and then, but not every day

My mom dated a Englishman when I was a kid and he made us "Yorkshire Pudding" that shit was excellent.

The best 'Fish and Chips" are made at this little seaside rstaurant in Oregon and made with Salmon. They must have ran out of chips because I got French Fries instead. Was still excellent though.

Ba dum tiss!

Best Fish n' Chips Ive had was at a small pub near the old harbor in Reyknavik, arguing with two brits about toy internet spaceships, where the fish was alive that morning.

Euro food is the best, even the simple things, its just better.

Love Shepherd's Pie

Still? Greggs is a rip off now and there are far too many of them. 16 in the damn centre of Manchester.

Just so none of us have to do a web search. What is spotted dick and why is it called that?

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

"Dick" is an archaic way of writing dough. It can also be called spotted dog

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_dick

It's a steamed suet pudding made with raisins or sultanas which make it look spotty.

Really not beating the allegations with that one.
