No ENGLISH cuisine
 

I ventured on to the FlyerTalk Cookbook section for the first time and was surprised to discover that among the ethnic sections there wasn't one for English food.
Nowhere I could post the delights of Lancashire Hot Pot,Toad in the Hole,Jam Rolypoly,the Barnsley Chop,Yorkshire Pudding,the Full English,Black Pudding,the Cornish pasty,the Melton Mowbray pie and not forgetting the glorious chip butty.
We didn't get to be a nation of Fat .......s lying down you know !

I, for one, would be delighted to talk about English Cuisine (no, it's NOT an oxymoron!)

Steak and Guinness pie....mmmmmmm....

Bangers and Mash....mmmm....

Bubble and Squeak, the Plowman's Lunch, Deep Fried Mars Bars, fish and chips w/ malt vinegar, trifle, spotted dick, and Steak and Kidney Pie.

Mmmmmmmmmm....

Mushy peas.
If you're English you'd know.

I thought this is as Scottish as Irn Bru...

Hmmm - There is a section for British food: (severely underpopulated):

There are also sections for Beef, Poultry, Seafood, Pork, Other Meats, Vegetables, Potato Dishes etc. etc.

So get posting. I'm looking forward to seeing your recipe for black pudding.
Do you start with a pig? (Or with a black pudding?)

sticky toffee pudding....mmm...

Chicken tikka masala mmm ;)

Nothing is better than this. We had some of the best sticky toffee pudding in a small town in Scotland. Wish I could recall the name of the restaurant since I would love to have their recipe.

British bacon....Bacon Baps....mmmmm.....

I'm craving fish & chips right now. Love it in a English Pub with a pint!

But I was talking about ENGLISH food.
It's like Canadians feel when people mistake them for Americans.

Oh. For a moment I thought you cared about food. But it seems your beef is with the web site taxonomy.

Please do here! And to open things up a bit: If I were to have an overnight layover in London, where should I go for a good, solid, authentic English dinner? I'd appreciate some brilliant advice ;)

Mmmmm....bacon butties...thick slices from a roast joint with Yorkshire pudding...a Full English in the morning (don't spare the beans, LOL)...kippers...trifle...treacle pudding! My inner John Bull trencherman emerges :D
