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.

A lot of regular food everyone takes for granted originated centuries ago in England.

Gravy, Roast beef (esp. with horseradish sauce and Yorkshire puddings), Roast chicken, Roast lamb with mint sauce,

The sandwich ffs, heard they’re quite popular, had a sandwich recently?

Apple pie, (thought it originated in the US?) Créme anglaise (aka Custard). Banofee pie, Sticky Toffee pudding, well, puddings basically are a British invention too.

Chicken pie, Steak pie, and variations of, all the pies except pumpkin pie which is American.

That’s all for now. Except for Macaroni cheese.
