Roast food

Once upon a time, British families would get together on Sundays and enjoy a hearty roast lunch. Although the tradition has waned in recent years, barbecue remains popular in the UK. The delicious feast includes grilled meat (beef, chicken, lamb or pork) and a variety of vegetables, including roasted potatoes, carrots, peas, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. The barbecue can also grill stuffing and Yorkshire puddings. Traditional meals include roast beef with peppercorn horseradish sauce and English mustard, or roast beef with applesauce. Roast lamb is always served with mint sauce or red berry jelly. But no matter what "garnishes" you add, the gravy is the most important part.

Fish and chips

British people have been eating fish and chips since the 19th century. Traditionally, this much-loved British street food is served wrapped in white paper or newspaper. Most people like to eat with their hands. Today, however, your local fish and chip shop serves the food on a plastic plate with a small wooden fork. The fish, usually cod, is dipped in batter and fried. The fries are thick cut. Most people like to sprinkle some salt and malt vinegar or some curry sauce on their fish and chips.

Shepherd’s Pie

Britain is famous for its pies, but the most admirable of them all is undoubtedly Shepherd’s pie. This popular, perfect winter family meal is so easy to cook. It's minced lamb seasoned with gravy or onion sauce and topped with a layer of fluffy mashed potatoes. There are many different variations of the recipe, and you can add other vegetables to the filling, such as peas and carrots. Some people also add a layer of grated cheese to the potatoes for extra flavor. According to early recipes, the dish was invented because it was cheap and easy to make, using leftover meat from Sunday roasts. But if you don't like lamb, maybe you'll like cottage pie, also called beef pie.
