Question

British Food - what would say the typical dish is?.....?

Answer 1

My first thoughts were Bangers and Mash or Fish & Chips or Bubbles and Squeak.

Answer 2

Contrary to popular, American belief, British does NOT mean English... but I am assuming you are referring to English, in which case: Fish & Chips, Roast Beef Dinner, Chicken Tika, Donner Kebabs, Oatcakes, Lamb Chops, Big Macs, Fish Pie, Bacon n Eggs, Curry, Apples, Chicken Chow Mein, Beans on toast, Sausage n Mash, Rhubarb Crumble, Crispy Duck, Fried Chicken, Steak n Chips, Scampi, Pork Chops, Chocolate, Spare ribs, Chip butties, Soup, Lancashire Hot Pot, Jellied Eels, Smoked Salmon, Gammon New Pototoes and Parsley Sauce, Liver Pate on toast, Steak & Kidney Pie, Beef Sandwich, Salad, Apple Pie, Bananas And Custard, Melon, Spag Bog, Garlic Bread, Baked potatoes n cheese, Pizza, Grapes, Prawn Cocktail, Corn Flakes, Nuts.

There's also Italian places, Mexican... etc. People also cook Italian and Mexican.. Chinese, Japanese... anything, really.  

Answer 3

To define typical you would have to look at regional dishes.

London.....jellied eels

Yorkshire..puddings

Lancashire hotpot

Cornwall ..pasties

Scotland...haggis

Wales......rarebit

Ireland.....stew

Durham...pease pudding

I could go on with cakes desserts puddings etc.

My favourite as a kid was having pork pie and mushy peas at the local market place every Saturday.

Answer 4

The biggest selling dish is 'Chicken Tikka Marsala', which is chicken fillet that has been marinaded in spices and yoghourt overnight before being grilled and then smothered in a masala sauce, which is a delicious, tomatoey, heavily spiced sauce that goes superbly with the chicken. Second most popular dish is 'Fish 'n' Chips', which is a fillet of Cod or Hake, dipped in a batter of eggs, flour, salt (and sometimes beer or lemon juice too) and deep-fried, together with a good portion of chips (thickly-cut potato wedges/slices, cooked twice at hotter temperatures respectively until light and fluffy on the inside and crisp and golden on the outside.  

Answer 5

It's gotta be fish and chips with mushy peas, followed by curry take-away (yes, curry). The brits love their curry and fish & chips and you can't walk 10 feet without coming across a chip shop.
