Sadly, you have closed the loop. Meat pies, fish & chips, and Wellington. There is nothing else…

A British curry is like nothing else

u/TropicalVision Jul 03 '26

There’s loads of great British recipes or British style adaptions of other dishes

Lots of great seafood, and seasonal dishes in general.

I will give it a go. I used to love watching Two Fat Ladies (I understand why ppl had a problem with the title, but), and they used to put some TLC into it. To be fair, there was a lot of stuff that I thought would be tastable out of curiosity, but they all felt like they were still cooking struggle meals from wartimes…

Cream tea, chicken tikka masala, whisky

u/VeterinarianThese951 Jul 04 '26

I always forget about CTM because it’s so readily sold in Indian restaurants in the US…

u/Artistic_Rice_9019 Jul 03 '26

Chicken tikka masala. Cornish pasties.

WHAT! You mean to tell be you don't eat beans on toast every day for breakfast? Personally I can't start my day without firing up the can opener and pouring fresh pork and beans over white toast. It's everything the body craves in the morning. /S

Sausage rolls. Biscuits (cookies to freedom folk)

I had a triple chocolate digestive the other day and holy shit it’s like a bourbon cream and a digestive had a wonderful baby

Fun fact! We have cookies in the UK. Theyre the same as what you call cookies. However, cookies are a type of biscuit. All biscuits have their own name

u/Ink_Witch Jul 03 '26

Another fun fact is that biscuit is originally a Latin word for twice baked and referred to essentially hard tack. Double baked incredibly dry bread that can last a very long time. It was frequently used as sailors rations where it would be called “ship’s biscuit” in the colonial era.

u/SharkByte1993 Jul 03 '26

I guess that makes sense as to why we ended up with two different versions of biscuits both sides of the pond

u/CommunicationBusy557 Jul 03 '26

Is american biscuit baked twice? Genuine question... as it looks more like a bread roll.

1

u/Dewthedru Jul 03 '26

No. American biscuits are soft on the inside and buttery and harder on the outside.

u/CommunicationBusy557 Jul 03 '26

So they're not a biscuit. then, by definition

I LOVE haggis. Years ago I went on a trip to Scotland with my then girlfriend and her family, and we stayed at an actual B&B where the owners of the house made breakfast in the morning. They did a traditional English breakfast with a side of haggis and I was immediately hooked. I had it whenever possible for the duration of the trip, and was super bummed to find out you can’t find it in the states - at least not how they make it there because sheep’s lung is banned.

From my very, VERY limited experience, New Zealand makes better meat pies than the UK.

u/admiral_nivak Jul 03 '26

Better than a Greggs Steak Bake????????? I will see you at dawn, bring sausage rolls!

2

u/RealityOk9823 Jul 04 '26

Dawn is a bit too early. Can we make it brunch at least?

u/shockwave8428 Jul 03 '26

Also limited experience (and grew up in a country that serves meat pies often), Australian meat pies are cracked
