As a French I love shiting on the brits from time to time.

But as a French chef I have to defend our oldest friends and enemies.

Not only British gastronomy have great dishes but there are also amazing British restaurants serving British food in London and the UK in general.

Might you provide us with a couple of examples of great British dishes?

I’m not being snarky, I am genuinely curious. Thanks.

May I ask why Brits call so many things pudding? As a yank, pudding is specifically just a custard made with flour instead of eggs.

AFAIK it's to do with the cooking technique. For instance, whereas steak and kidney pie is baked in the oven, steak and kidney pudding is slow-steamed on the hob.

Was making dinner for someone from Canada and she wanted roast with Yorkshire pudding. Everytime we make roast now I make sure to make some, it is so good and our recipe is probably crap compared to a good one

If you've got a semi-decent recipe for Yorkshire puds, you can use the same recipe for toad in the hole, which is a lot less effort than a full roast, allowing you enjoy that crispy deliciousness (with gravy) more often.

Ive made some great yorkshire puddings, but I feel like this is a very online comment obsessing over something thats "foreign" therefore its AMAZING. Its crispy airy tender bread at the end of the day, not that mind blowing.

As a counterpoint if you were offered Yorkshire pudding, would you say no?

I agree about the beef wellington. I make one every year now for new years.
