Question

What is the typical at home dinner in Britian and Restaurant specialties as well?

Answer 1

Sausage, mash and peas, smothered in gravy. Sundays, roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, loads of vegs, gravy again.

Eating out, Indian food is Britains favourite, yum.

Answer 2

Being a former chef and of British heritage, most home meals are simple good stoggy meat and potatos style dinners, they prefer more lamb, chicken, pork and fish to the more expensive beef, fish is a big thing as they are surrounded by the ocean and North Sea and English Channel, there dishes involve alot of baking, braising and boiled items, some say it is bland cuisine, but the years of rationing after the Second World War made Britians have to make due with the foods available to them.

As for restaurants, there is any range of foods from local dishes, fast food, elegant french based cuisine and the multitude of International foods and restaurants, in North America we commonly go out for Pizza, Burgers and Chinese food, in the UK it is refered to ask "Takeaway", and they have a preference more to Indian, Chinese and the best Fish and Chips again because fish is so plentiful.

Researching on the net as to the Old English, Tudor and Elizbethean era foods even those in the time of Shakespere are not much different today, except there is more variety and seletion at the shops, and with the EU there are no retriction not with foods from mainland Europe.
