[mention]karstopography[/mention] I love a list too! Although I found one item strange. There's no such thing as a cow shepherd, so shepherd's pie is lamb minced and cottage pie is beef. Some root veg and peas are very welcome in the meat and gravy and the family always love a generous handful of mixed grated cheese when Browning off the mashed topping.
Was surprised there was no mention of creamy mash with scallions which has not a single lump and more butter and cream in it than your local dairy (could substitute cabbage or finely chopped leaks).
And steak and chips, or crispy air fried wedges spiced up.
And soups, carrot and corriander, or potatoes and leek or good old tomato soup or for the more international Englishman tomatoes and pepper soup.
And all those other British dishes such as curry (chicken tikka marsala) or Italian pizza
And the sandwich! Didn't we invent bread ? Or did we just put the leftovers between two slices to save on the washing-up ?
And "winner, winner chicken dinner", spotted *Bleep*, rhubarb crumble and custard, Apple cumble, eve's pudding, bubble and sqeak, eggs and ham (not the green variety), something and chips, something in batter, sausages (not the real meaty kind like in Germany or South africa).
Pasty, Cornish pasty, meat pie (don't ask), cheese on toast, Yorkshire pudding (with gravy or as a dessert), toad in the hole (just read Yorkshire pudding with a sausage in it), did I say gravy, mushy peas (must peas in batter, did I say anything battered?). High tea, pot of tea with cakes, or cucumber sandwiches, cream tea with scones and jam. Bacon and eggs, English bacon from denmark! Eggs, boiled with soldiers, fried egg, scrambled egg, eggs and cream, cold boiled egg sliced with a tiny tiny pinch of chillie, coleslaw, coleslaw with fancy bits in it (waldorf, potatoes, pepper anything really as long as it's mayo), summer pudding, stew (with or without suet dumplings). Baked beans...on toast, with cheese, with chillie spices or with sausages ( not the real meaty variety). tinned spaghetti hoops, alphabet letters, spaceships..whatever.
Chilled cabinet meals, anything as long as it's called "two for one", "three for two"," meal deal" (you get a starter and pudding), or managers special (more of a good luck on that one type of food).
Other traditional meals include, from the butchers, varieties such as "what's that called"," how many does it feed" and "how do I cook it", sausages (with real meat) and bacon (non british(danish) bacon but definitely local).
Vol an vents! Anything creamy in mid summer with a touch of listeria. Prawn cocktail (or is this the seventies?). Triffle, quiche lorraine(sounds French to me), beef burger (with or without real meat), lemon merrangue pie. Scotch eggs. Pork pies. Cold pasties (different from hot pasties).
Anything chocolate, things without chocolate -just add chocolate.
Then to finish off, alka seltzer (and mints).
