The classic Sunday Roast is by far my most favourite meal in the world (specifically roast beef) It doesn't require hardly any skill to make it although to master it, it will. It just needs time, patients and above all, love, lots of love 😁
I had the classic Sunday roast beef dinner during a long trip to the UK I took years ago. I ate at the Dog and Gun Pub in Keswick one rainy Sunday evening. It was glorious. A huge roaring fire greeted patrons as they walked in from a chilly rain. Long wooden tables were filled with regulars and visitors, so you wherever you could find a spot.

Shepherd's pie isn't the same thing as a cottage pie although they are similar. The main difference is that a shepherd's pie is always made with lamb. The clue is in the name.
@Carl Bowles It might be delicious but if it's made with beef it's not Shepherds Pie, it's always Cottage pie regardless of where it's made & who makes it.
One of the best brekkies I've ever had was in a little hotel in Scotland, a pair of smoked Loch Fyne kippers. I opted for haggis on the side which came with an exquisite cracked pepper cream sauce. Heavenly.
My family was stationed over in Britain and we lived in a town called Brampton. I can honestly say the best fish I've ever had to this day came from this guy who had a small stand that served fish & chips and it was wrapped in newspaper.

Steak & kidney pie is amazing. Luckily lamb kidneys are one of the few offal meats I can find where I live so I make it as often as I can. I make up enough filling to make one large family sized pie & 3 to 4 smaller individual ones & instead of beef steak I use kangaroo & I make them all using buttery, flaky puff pastry. So delicious. I can't believe more people don't eat offal meats, they're delicious & incredibly nutritious & not using everything possible is wasteful & disrespectful to the animal.
@@Lucifurion You should try making a traditional "Pudding" rather than a pie. I'm sure you can get hold of beef suet. It sounds like you're in Oz so I'm sure they sell it. A "Pudding" is on another level from a shortcrust or puff pastry pie. It has to be steamed though but it can be speeded up by making the filling first and steaming it with the cooked filling. A traditional "Steak and Kidney Pudding" would have all the ingredients uncooked ie the meat, kidneys, onions etc and steamed for a longer time. There's nothing like the taste and flavour of a "Pudding"!!! You can also use sweet ingredients to make "Spotted Dick" or "Syrup Pudding" or "Jam Roly Poly" all which are Traditional English puddings and use beef suet pastry as their main ingredient and steamed in the same way. It's delicious!!!
Been travelling south America for 3 years and damn I miss British food, chocolate, baked beans, full English, bangers and mash and Yorkshire tea like mad.
I’m Brazilian ( came foody state of Minas Gerais) living in England, and the only thing I didn’t like was the eels, I love everything, I don’t know why people say Uk doesn’t have good food?
I love food in Brazil. I ate like 5 times in one day just to eat as much as I could from different places. I especially like the way you often have restaurants that allow you to fill your plate and then weigh it on a scale to pay :)
If you want really good black pudding, come to Austria! And Marzipan is great. Marzipan covered with chocolate is a staple around Christmas in Austria. Also it is part of the famous Mozart-balls, whichever you try.
Shepherds Pie is NOT also known as Cottage Pie , Shepherds deal with sheep so it’s minced LAMB with onion gravy and shouldn’t have vegetables in, Cottage pie is beef with veg added
Sorry all parts of the UK have there own regional recipe for Sausage and Black Scotland is quite renowned for its black pudding and Lorne sausage it makes an outstanding sandwich. In Scotland they eat potato scones with their breakfast also haggis. Also jam roly-poly has never been made with a sponge cake mix that would make it a Swiss roll. The best kipper you can get in my opinion are from the north of England Craster kippers from Northumberland are world-renowned. Yorkshire puddings extremely easy to make. It is equal quantities of milk, egg, pinch of salt and plain flour. You have got to have extremely hot fat beef dripping or goose fat is outstanding and a hot oven. Once the Yorkshire puddings are in the oven please dont open the oven door they will sink faster than your hopes and dreams.
Now I'm hungry! :D As an Austrian Anglophile I regularly make Cottage Pie and Leek & Bacon Pie. Proper pork pies are quite hard to make so I'd rather enjoy them in situ when I'm in the UK. Another staple I'd mention is Coronation Chicken - a very popular sandwich filling or served on its own with leafy salad.
Give a Bedfordshire clanger a go its like a sausage roll and a cornish pasty had a baby. Also apple turnover will send you to another dimension, pickled eggs in a salad can really elevate it or just sit with a jar and scran them all 😂
I don't like almonds because they're too dry. So I'm amazed that almonds can be converted into something so jam-packed with flavor. I order chocolate covered marzipan sweets from a local catalog for every Christmas.

Beef Wellington is not a great way to use up leftovers from a Sunday roast as you say....nothing in the recipe involves previously cooked food, poor research.
Not mincemeat - that is quite different, a concoction of dried fruit, suet and brandy! Mince, or minced meat, is what is used in cottage pie and shepherd's pie.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat salad with a pork pie. Stereotypically, the sort of person that eats pork pies isn't the sort of person that eats salad.
You're 100% right in general, but I think they're talking about the nice homemade pork pies that you get in fancier pubs and stuff. Same thing with the Scotch Eggs.
@earlymusicus Oh No, No, No! Way too fishy for me! give me the good B&S any day! hahahaha. my mum loved kippers and kedgeree, or a sort of welsh version anyway! interestingly isn't it yet another dish from India originally?
Bangers and mash, very nice, as long as they are decent bangers and not rubbish ones, so meaty ones, not full of breadcrumbs. Onion gravy is normally used for bangers and mash, but I do not like onion gravy, so normal beef gravy or Tomato ketchup for me.
British savoury meals are some of World’s the most blandest, thus ATROCIOUS at best. Apparently the most popular British savoury meal is Fish & Chips, how can this be considering that straight out of the deep-fryer Fish & Chips taste of nothing but cooking oil?. It is utterly shocking how utterly CRAP British savoury meals taste, considering that the British had the privilege of having spent 200 years in India. Even the most basic Indian meal tastes infinitely superior to anything British. Lastly even dogs raised by Indians have a superior taste in food than vast majority of white people.
OMG! I never knew why the bacon was so good when I was there. I was there quite a long time ago, but remember the bacon being very tasty on those sandwiches. I loved it. I didn’t realize that it had come from a different part of the pig. Wish we would do that in the states. Yum, Yum
I Miss all that food from my home, surprised they didn't mention sausage rolls. There's nothing like a bacon sarnie, if you ask for something that simple in the states, they just don't understand the concept.
The Knickerbocker Glory contained ice cream, thick cream, fruit and meringue. The layer are alternated in that order and is drizzled on top with a raspberry coulis - and Never contains Wafers!

God bless ya ---- but I'll take a big ol mega yank breakfast any day. Toast / jam -- pancake n maple syrup breakfast sausage n bacon hash browns or diced fried potatoes with pepper n onion eggs of course - either an omelet ( cheese, peppers, shrooms, onion, tomato ), over easy on the pancakes or scrambled fruit / melon juice, water, coffee Sorry -- baked beans, sliced tomato, blood pudding and those very strange appearing sausages just don't make a breakfast appealing. baked beans are for cook outs n hot dogs - I'd prefer sliced peaches over tomato myself - blood pudding sounds gaggable. Wow it's nice to disagree with someone in a silly way and not be called Ra --- ace --- its.

Why is this so weird to you? America is a country of immigrants. Whatever migrants that live here their food is incorporated into the food culture. Soul Food is strictly American if you need a start in American Cuisine.
I'm of Cornish ancestry (5th generation!) and I love pasties! I've been to England/Ireland & Scotland - so I've grown to love cottage pie, full English (Irish or Scottish) breakfasts - including black pudding (yum yum 😋), bangers & mash, mushy peas, fish & chips, scones,.... I also cook many of these items at home!
I found the scottish square sausages most amusing, I tried to take the piss out of our scot bloke in work about it and he merely stated that the English were stupid for inventing round ones that roll about on the plate. Touchet Scotsman Touchet.
Everyone knows the term 'cheese ploughman's' was invented in 1957 by the British Cheese Bureau to promote, er, cheese. I spent much of my childhood in the 1970s on a farm in Herefordshire helping out the farmer (ie: probably getting on his nerves). If his lunch had consisted of a bit of cheese, an apple and a slice of bread, he'd probably have wasted away within a month. Cheese ploughman's: nice pub lunch. Romantic history? I don't think so.
07:43 “either way it doesn’t matter”!!! If it’s made of sponge then it’s a swiss-roll, made of suet dough, it’s a jam roly-poly. The roly-poly is usually served with custard as a desert, the swiss-roll as a cake with tea or coffee. It certainly does matter!!!
@ Federic R. Lovely comment - amused me greatly. Actually, once you find enough nerve to try some, you may find them good. On the other hand, the very best eel I ever tasted was served in a bright green sauce in a very ' low end ' bar/bistro in Ostend about 65 years ago.
Thanks for this. British food is definitely not all bad! Try making toad in the hole at home.... its delicious and super easy, you just to have decent sausages.
I'm a Londoner living in the USA and it is nigh on impossible to find ANYTHING even remotely resembling British pork sausages. I so dearly miss Lincolnshire sausages.
@@michaelmullin3585 Those are delicious -- in fact, I haven't had any Cajun food that HASN'T been delicoius -- but it's just not the same. It's like if you're hungry for your grand-mère's boudin, but you get offered tasso. The tasso's still really good, but it's not the comfort food you were craving from your childhood, ya know?
Those who get grossed out by eating anything with blood in it, the white pudding is available as well and if spiced nicely, is one of the tastiest sausage on this planet. Whenever I get a full English or Irish breakfast in the states, I always ask for the same amount of pudding in white.
My thought too. When I lived there most pubs might have just crisps if they had food. The ones that did serve food usually had meat pies, sandwiches, or maybe a ploughman’s lunch. Of course everything would have a side of beans. American style bacon was available too, but was called streaky bacon. The English bacon was middle or back bacon depending on the cut you chose. I wish restaurants in the US would do an English roast dinner. Those giant Yorkshire puddings with roast potatos and a beef or lamb roast.
Love All of these. I love a chip butty. Love a fry up, a korma, a shepherds pie, a cottage pie, omg jam roll poly, can’t believe I forgot that. Similar to treacle sponge and custard. Can’t beat a ploughmans and a pork pie, oh and a scotch egg.. and my mums roast is the best. Bloody love my home. And even though I live in another country, all those meals are on my menus throughout the year.
British bacon sandwich is the bomb!!!! On brown bread please!!!! Bangers and mash is delicious! Cumberland sausage has a texture that takes a bit of getting used to but the flavor is very good! One of my faves is “bubble and squeak”. Cabbage and mashed potatoes.... so ridiculously comforting!!!
I'm in Norfolk - I've had game pie, but never heard of scouse (the stew) Some of the dishes on this are universal across the UK, some of them are regional. (Stargazy pie is Cornwall/Devon)
@@Beedo_Sookcool But they are not the exact same thing, one is long and one is wide. One is made with a sausage and one is made with a beef patty. It’s not the same thing. Cottage and shepherds pies are the exact same thing but made with a different meat.
@@IslenoGutierrez You can make pies in any shape, too. My point still stands: you can't change the main ingredient and call it the same name, especially if there's already a dish by another name with those exact ingredients.
@@Beedo_Sookcool C’mon don’t be ignorant, both cottage and Shepard’s pies are the exact same shape. It’s literally the same dish both with a different meat.
Gordon's favorite meal is alright with me in the Wellington, I'll take a Sheppard's Pie as well. We adopted Pasties in Northern Michigan, originally in the days of Copper Mining...they are the definition of hearty.
Not just Uppers adopted them... I'm from a mining town out West, and my mom made pasties weekly! Just had an Albies beef pasty yesterday. It's nice living in Michigan, where they're available in stores. I'm too lazy to make them myself. :-)
@@d.rodrickeamon6133 iirc cornish pasties were invented specifically for miners which is why you have the htick crust it was so miners could grab them eat and then throway the contaminated crust
As a south African we had a huge English influence as a colony and my favorite is still English breakfast with especially kippers and of course fish and chips as well . We have the biggest Indian population outside India as well so yep great food here🇿🇦
Great video, about time British food not given such a bad rap. The late great chef Gary Rhodes championed it, as does genius Marco Pierre White and many other chefs. All good.
Northern European food in general gets a bad rep. Which is a pity, because the Dutch, Danish, Germans and Scandinavians as well as the British all have some delicious stuff on the menu if you know what to look for.
The eel goes way beyond nasty. The English breakfasts are great and very filling. Down side is you become very vocal at the wrong end after you enjoyed it.
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the fact that your biscuits are exactly the same as our plain scones! Star Gazey pie…YUK 🤮 Loved the rest of your video.
A pretty good effort, and you've covered most of the popular foods, although I'm surprised you didn't include sausage rolls. I live quite close to Liverpool, and have never heard of the scouse dish, nor have I heard of Stargazy pie. If you're going to include some of the more local specialities, then perhaps you should have included Bakewell Pudding or Tart (far more common than Eton Mess), Eccles Cakes and Lancashire Hotpot, all of which are pretty common throughout Britain.
Scouse is very regional I would say, I’m from the wirral but from a scouse family and we have it regularly, as do most scouse families. Travel just outside the city and they have pretty much the same dish but called different names, like “Lobby” If you go to Norway it’s called “Lobscouse”
I believe that Stargazey Pie was originally dreamed up by a chef in a pub in the small fishing village of Mousehole, Cornwall. It is now served in a few local pubs/restaurants, but is unknown outside that area.
I’m a Brit living in Texas and this makes me homesick. When I go back to visit family I ensure I get Melton Mobray pork pies with pickle, and anything else I can get on this list. I can now buy excellent Aussie or Kiwi lamb here now so roast lamb and mint sauce is easily made. I need to get the Yorkshire pudding down so I can make toad in the hole. A local large grocery store has what is called an Irish sausage which is a very good stand in for a regular banger. I have studied making real Cornish Pasties so that is on my hit list. I did not know that about Tikka Masala. We can now get minced lamb here at Aldi so Shepherds Pie should be a breeze. Onward!
There's nothing nicer than a beautiful piece of Australian lamb roasted medium rare with all of the roast veggies & gravy topped off with a few dashes of mint sauce. I'm making myself hungry just thinking about it. It's good that you can find some ingredients near you so that your tastebuds don't get too homesick. Do the Melton Mobray pork pies come with the aspic in them? Some versions I've seen of pork pies are just the meat with none of the aspic inside. You've got to have the aspic or it's just not right.
I love British or Irish bangers, but they are entirely different from American sausages, German, Italian or otherwise. They're hard to find, but worth it, IMO. British/Irish bacon is also entirely different from American bacon. My aunt in Harlow likes "the streaky" bacon best, which is very similar to American-style bacon. In the U.K. you can buy raw British bacon and also raw gammon (ham) steaks, thick-cut in a steak-like slab. Just heavenly. British or Irish fish and chips are sooo good. Going to the "Chip Shop" for dinner is an at least weekly thing (or more) for Brits. Nothing else substitutes for real F&C. My aunt likes "Plaice", as she says it, best. I like Skate. Pies of all kinds are plentiful in the UK. My fave is steak and mushroom pie. How many times I've had "A Ploughman's" (ham, bread and cheese separate on a plate) I could not count. My wife's fave is Shepard's Pie. I like it with the traditional ground lamb, but mince (ground beef) works as well. We had Lancashire Hot Pot (spicy lamb stew with thin sliced potatoes) at a Cambridge Circus pub in London and it's' become my favourite for that kind of dish. Scones with clotted cream is another fave. Irresistible. British food is great. The old, weary reputation that it is not is completely false.
Love how the American lady was coming out with British sayings like greasy spoon and fiver and they call it a bacon butty up north well researched on your lingo 😉
I've always looked at British Cuisine as comfort food. Nothing fancy just practical, simple and tasty. Also, you didn't mention Tripe. Although not as common anymore, If cooked right it is absolutely delicious. But if not cooked right it can be awful.
One of the interesting things I found is that if you go to a proper Mexican restaurant here in the USA, you can get tripe tacos, and they're very nice.
My husband and I went to a Long John Silver's here in Denver, and their idea of Fish and Chips was fish, with a side of POTATO CHIPS. Both of us had to restrain ourselves from chewing out the manager.
A proper scotch egg is hard boiled the soft boiled scotch egg is very nice but it is something that has only come about popularity in the last decade or 2
Here in Hawaii, Spam & egg sandwiches are a low price standard breakfast. I just ate one. Jelly roll type thing are widely served by Filipino bakeries here. Mazapan is a Spanish candy too.
@Jim Carner I fry the Spam lightly in olive oil. Most local people use soy sauce, or Teriyaki sauce, a sweetened soy sauce. The eggs go over hard in sandwiches & tostadas ( corn tortilla enclosure) fried with cheddar cheese). Americans often eat Mexican food with cheddar, an English cheese. Monterey Jack, or queso blanco, white cheese is usually used by Mexicans themselves.
We produce the best food in the world, bar none, forget the French and Italians, the Chinese and Indians also, we took what we liked and reshaped it to our tastes, best cuisine, curry sauce over a baked potato with a side of pork sausages, yum yum.
I've lived in Germany around 16 years, and although the food is great I do miss British food. Chip bap, sausage sandwich and pies. UK food needs more recognition as they do here with simple German dishes. It's a part of our culture and should be celebrated as such.
Any recipes you have included in UK foods which contain flavourings, will be herbs , with an "h" and not "erbs" the way many US residents pronounce it.
@D Anemon In England & Australia it's an English word & pronounced "herb". If it's a French word & Americans pronounce it right why can't they pronounce "tourniquet" correctly?

Steak & kidney pie is amazing. Luckily lamb kidneys are one of the few offal meats I can find where I live so I make it as often as I can. I make up enough filling to make one large family sized pie & 3 to 4 smaller individual ones & instead of beef steak I use kangaroo & I make them all using buttery, flaky puff pastry. So delicious. I can't believe more people don't eat offal meats, they're delicious & incredibly nutritious & not using everything possible is wasteful & disrespectful to the animal.
@@Lucifurion You should try making a traditional "Pudding" rather than a pie. I'm sure you can get hold of beef suet. It sounds like you're in Oz so I'm sure they sell it. A "Pudding" is on another level from a shortcrust or puff pastry pie. It has to be steamed though but it can be speeded up by making the filling first and steaming it with the cooked filling. A traditional "Steak and Kidney Pudding" would have all the ingredients uncooked ie the meat, kidneys, onions etc and steamed for a longer time. There's nothing like the taste and flavour of a "Pudding"!!!
You can also use sweet ingredients to make "Spotted Dick" or "Syrup Pudding" or "Jam Roly Poly" all which are Traditional English puddings and use beef suet pastry as their main ingredient and steamed in the same way. It's delicious!!!
Dont the good old ...the Sandwich...haha
@@alandillon968 Look again, I mentioned the Sandwich.
What about kidneys & bacon, liver & bacon, mussels,whelks,cockles, smoked haddock, cheese (& tomato) pie, corned beef, salmagundy etc etc?
Been travelling south America for 3 years and damn I miss British food, chocolate, baked beans, full English, bangers and mash and Yorkshire tea like mad.
Yorkshire Tea is the proper thing, also Sainsbury's Red or Gold Label
You can't beat proper 'chippy' fish and chips with plenty of salt and malt vinegar 😋😋😋
A dish brought over to this country by immigrant Russian Jews in the 19th century.
Onion vinegar from the pickled onions, and these should be served with the meal.
a dish from my country could easily beat that
Okg yeses it's so good
I didn't like malt vinegar when I was a kid but now it's integral for fish and chips
I’m Brazilian ( came foody state of Minas Gerais) living in England, and the only thing I didn’t like was the eels, I love everything, I don’t know why people say Uk doesn’t have good food?
Nice one Alex, although try the hot stewed eels and not the jellied ones maybe?
I love food in Brazil. I ate like 5 times in one day just to eat as much as I could from different places. I especially like the way you often have restaurants that allow you to fill your plate and then weigh it on a scale to pay :)
You guys eat sopa do macaco. Of course you'll find British food edible 😂
because u need to be a good cook to make most english food lots of ppl just aint good cooks
Smoked eel is good too.
If you want really good black pudding, come to Austria! And Marzipan is great. Marzipan covered with chocolate is a staple around Christmas in Austria. Also it is part of the famous Mozart-balls, whichever you try.
Lamb = Shepherds Pie, Beef = Cottage Pie
Shepherds Pie is NOT also known as Cottage Pie , Shepherds deal with sheep so it’s minced LAMB with onion gravy and shouldn’t have vegetables in, Cottage pie is beef with veg added
You should see what goes into a cottaging pie 😀
Is that the best you have?
Sorry all parts of the UK have there own regional recipe for Sausage and Black Scotland is quite renowned for its black pudding and Lorne sausage it makes an outstanding sandwich. In Scotland they eat potato scones with their breakfast also haggis. Also jam roly-poly has never been made with a sponge cake mix that would make it a Swiss roll. The best kipper you can get in my opinion are from the north of England Craster kippers from Northumberland are world-renowned. Yorkshire puddings extremely easy to make. It is equal quantities of milk, egg, pinch of salt and plain flour. You have got to have extremely hot fat beef dripping or goose fat is outstanding and a hot oven. Once the Yorkshire puddings are in the oven please dont open the oven door they will sink faster than your hopes and dreams.
Kippers....Arbroath smokies.
@@jixuscrixus1967 They are great I must admit I forgot all about them. .
@Sarah Rose It all depends on where you buy it from. A good butchers black pudding is amazing. I do agree some black pudding is horrible.
Now I'm hungry! :D
As an Austrian Anglophile I regularly make Cottage Pie and Leek & Bacon Pie. Proper pork pies are quite hard to make so I'd rather enjoy them in situ when I'm in the UK. Another staple I'd mention is Coronation Chicken - a very popular sandwich filling or served on its own with leafy salad.
Give a Bedfordshire clanger a go its like a sausage roll and a cornish pasty had a baby. Also apple turnover will send you to another dimension, pickled eggs in a salad can really elevate it or just sit with a jar and scran them all 😂

Your staple dish is literally just fried fish and fries. You have no cuisine of your own.
@@mawlinzebra there is way more to English or British cuisine than fish and chips that's an ignorant thing to say.
I don't get the marzipan hate - it's delicious
I don't like almonds because they're too dry. So I'm amazed that almonds can be converted into something so jam-packed with flavor. I order chocolate covered marzipan sweets from a local catalog for every Christmas.
BRAVO

Beef Wellington is not a great way to use up leftovers from a Sunday roast as you say....nothing in the recipe involves previously cooked food, poor research.
Ye, like you’ve got a whole £40/£50 fillet of raw beef to hand as a ‘leftover’.....
Very true. But she failed to mention cottage pie and shepherd's pie are dishes that traditionally use up the leftovers from Sunday roast.
She means to go with it (sides).
Still misguided though.

Me too. it is the taste of Christmas. after Jan 1st, you have to wait a whole year to have them again.

Cottage pie and shepherd’s pie are different cottage pie is made with beef mincemeat
And shepherds pie is made with lamb mincemeat
you tell 'em !
Lancashire Hotpot . Best end of ( lamb ) neck with slices of Bury black pudding on top .!
Not mincemeat - that is quite different, a concoction of dried fruit, suet and brandy! Mince, or minced meat, is what is used in cottage pie and shepherd's pie.
" mincemeat" means something else in British vernacular, a sweet dried fruit pastry filling. Minced - meat is called " mince".
@@snowflakemelter1172 and "mince" or "minced" means "ground" in America.
UK: Minced lamb/beef. US: Ground lamb/beef.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat salad with a pork pie. Stereotypically, the sort of person that eats pork pies isn't the sort of person that eats salad.
You're 100% right in general, but I think they're talking about the nice homemade pork pies that you get in fancier pubs and stuff. Same thing with the Scotch Eggs.
Rubbish. Pork pies and salads are on every buffet table
That’s complete rubbish and not true at all
I eat a pork pie with brown sauce. That’s it. I go eat salads too tho…
Pork pie only served with a dollop of heinze brown sauce to dip with not steak sauce not heinze 57 but brown sauce

I will guess you come from the land of bland. I always lost weight on visits to UK simply due to the terrible food.
I love bangers and mash, shepherd's pie, and fish and chips.
All great, and you just can't get them made right in the U.S.
Bangers and mash, very nice, as long as they are decent bangers and not rubbish ones, so meaty ones, not full of breadcrumbs.
Onion gravy is normally used for bangers and mash, but I do not like onion gravy, so normal beef gravy or Tomato ketchup for me.
@@ryanchant6861 Yeah, That is the problem with using phones to post, i will edit :)
We love sausages and mash for dinner!!
British savoury meals are some of World’s the most blandest, thus ATROCIOUS at best. Apparently the most popular British savoury meal is Fish & Chips, how can this be considering that straight out of the deep-fryer Fish & Chips taste of nothing but cooking oil?. It is utterly shocking how utterly CRAP British savoury meals taste, considering that the British had the privilege of having spent 200 years in India. Even the most basic Indian meal tastes infinitely superior to anything British. Lastly even dogs raised by Indians have a superior taste in food than vast majority of white people.
Cottage pie is made with minced beef. Shepherd's pie with minced lamb.
Traditionally it was lambs tails and the mash is there because they couldn't get all the wool off the tail
Two points i thought Erbs was pronounced with a Herbs ,and a true Victoria sponge does not have cream in it just good quality Raspberry Jam.
OMG! I never knew why the bacon was so good when I was there. I was there quite a long time ago, but remember the bacon being very tasty on those sandwiches. I loved it. I didn’t realize that it had come from a different part of the pig. Wish we would do that in the states. Yum, Yum

Canadian bacon is very similar.
I wished they sold English bacon in the states.
I wish America was more like the uk with food. Yorkshire puddings look like a serious game changer and it's just fry bread with gravy

@ Colleen Orrick. You are very cruel and I'm drooling.
It's not "also known" as a shepherd's pie. A shepherd's pie is made with lamb or mutton, a cottage pie with beef. :-)

Yummy 😋
Was enjoying it up to the point that Cottage and Shepards Pie were considered the the same.
Americans, do you ever get to taste lamb?
Shepherds pie is lamb
Cottage pie is beef
In Canada Shepherds pie is made mostly with beef

Why is this so weird to you? America is a country of immigrants. Whatever migrants that live here their food is incorporated into the food culture. Soul Food is strictly American if you need a start in American Cuisine.
I'm of Cornish ancestry (5th generation!) and I love pasties!

I also cook many of these items at home!
Ain't you special!
I found the scottish square sausages most amusing, I tried to take the piss out of our scot bloke in work about it and he merely stated that the English were stupid for inventing round ones that roll about on the plate. Touchet Scotsman Touchet.
@Jim Carner thankyou Jim, everyday is a school day.
Everyone knows the term 'cheese ploughman's' was invented in 1957 by the British Cheese Bureau to promote, er, cheese. I spent much of my childhood in the 1970s on a farm in Herefordshire helping out the farmer (ie: probably getting on his nerves). If his lunch had consisted of a bit of cheese, an apple and a slice of bread, he'd probably have wasted away within a month. Cheese ploughman's: nice pub lunch. Romantic history? I don't think so.
07:43 “either way it doesn’t matter”!!! If it’s made of sponge then it’s a swiss-roll, made of suet dough, it’s a jam roly-poly. The roly-poly is usually served with custard as a desert, the swiss-roll as a cake with tea or coffee. It certainly does matter!!!
I was planning on trying a couple of them after I died. Glad you told me otherwise

@ Federic R. Lovely comment - amused me greatly. Actually, once you find enough nerve to try some, you may find them good. On the other hand, the very best eel I ever tasted was served in a bright green sauce in a very ' low end ' bar/bistro in Ostend about 65 years ago.

I like how a video about British foods is posted by a channel named "Mashed".
My favorite British foods are: Cottage Pie, Beef Wellington & Shepherd's Pie. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Those who get grossed out by eating anything with blood in it, the white pudding is available as well and if spiced nicely, is one of the tastiest sausage on this planet. Whenever I get a full English or Irish breakfast in the states, I always ask for the same amount of pudding in white.
If black pudding is made of congealed blood, then is white pudding made of congealed semen? 🤣
Never have I seen a pub serving Beef Wellington, and I've been to a few in my time.
My thought too. When I lived there most pubs might have just crisps if they had food. The ones that did serve food usually had meat pies, sandwiches, or maybe a ploughman’s lunch. Of course everything would have a side of beans. American style bacon was available too, but was called streaky bacon. The English bacon was middle or back bacon depending on the cut you chose. I wish restaurants in the US would do an English roast dinner. Those giant Yorkshire puddings with roast potatos and a beef or lamb roast.
My local pub did a Beef Wellington, was a bit of an old style village pub though.
It's too expensive for the average pub menu with fillet beef
its quite common in country pubs in and around the west midlands
Cottage pie is made with beef mince whereas Shepherds pie is made with minced lamb (or mutton) otherwise pretty much identical.
"Beef mince" and minced lamb, but not minced beef or lamb mince. Interesting.
Love
All of these. I love a chip butty. Love a fry up, a korma, a shepherds pie, a cottage pie, omg jam roll poly, can’t believe I forgot that. Similar to treacle sponge and custard. Can’t beat a ploughmans and a pork pie, oh and a scotch egg.. and my mums roast is the best. Bloody love my home. And even though I live in another country, all those meals are on my menus throughout the year.
Half off the meals u said there I don't even no what it is lol maybe cuz I'm Irish lol
even the jellied eels?
British bacon sandwich is the bomb!!!! On brown bread please!!!! Bangers and mash is delicious! Cumberland sausage has a texture that takes a bit of getting used to but the flavor is very good! One of my faves is “bubble and squeak”. Cabbage and mashed potatoes.... so ridiculously comforting!!!
@Jim Carner I like British brown bread better than their white or wheat.
Mate, Game Pie! Are you having a laugh 🤣🤣🤣 I mean I'm Scouse so that may be why but I have never had Game Pie

Well researched ! you seem to have covered British food fairly here.
As a south African we had a huge English influence as a colony and my favorite is still English breakfast with especially kippers and of course fish and chips as well .
We have the biggest Indian population outside India as well so yep great food here🇿🇦
I made bobotie before, it reminded me a little of cottage pie in appearance but far tastier
Love all that stuff, except for the eels and other fish things.
Fish and chips?
Great video, about time British food not given such a bad rap. The late great chef Gary Rhodes championed it, as does genius Marco Pierre White and many other chefs. All good.
Is he dead? Bloody hell I missed that
Northern European food in general gets a bad rep. Which is a pity, because the Dutch, Danish, Germans and Scandinavians as well as the British all have some delicious stuff on the menu if you know what to look for.
I'm from London and I find jellied eels to be foul. Kippers, however are beautiful. I live overseas and it's the one food I miss.
The eel goes way beyond nasty. The English breakfasts are great and very filling. Down side is you become very vocal at the wrong end after you enjoyed it.
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the fact that your biscuits are exactly the same as our plain scones! Star Gazey pie…YUK 🤮 Loved the rest of your video.
Yeah I think I'm traumautized by that pie.😁
A pretty good effort, and you've covered most of the popular foods, although I'm surprised you didn't include sausage rolls. I live quite close to Liverpool, and have never heard of the scouse dish, nor have I heard of Stargazy pie. If you're going to include some of the more local specialities, then perhaps you should have included Bakewell Pudding or Tart (far more common than Eton Mess), Eccles Cakes and Lancashire Hotpot, all of which are pretty common throughout Britain.
Scouse is very regional I would say, I’m from the wirral but from a scouse family and we have it regularly, as do most scouse families.
Travel just outside the city and they have pretty much the same dish but called different names, like “Lobby”
If you go to Norway it’s called “Lobscouse”
My ex & our family were in Harrogate & Welbourn for 4 years. I truly miss the delicious Sausage Rolls! The American sausage just doesn’t compare. 🥺😋🥺
I believe that Stargazey Pie was originally dreamed up by a chef in a pub in the small fishing village of Mousehole, Cornwall. It is now served in a few local pubs/restaurants, but is unknown outside that area.
@@mikeybyrne5806 It's also known as 'lobscouse' in Wales
I’m a Brit living in Texas and this makes me homesick. When I go back to visit family I ensure I get Melton Mobray pork pies with pickle, and anything else I can get on this list. I can now buy excellent Aussie or Kiwi lamb here now so roast lamb and mint sauce is easily made. I need to get the Yorkshire pudding down so I can make toad in the hole. A local large grocery store has what is called an Irish sausage which is a very good stand in for a regular banger. I have studied making real Cornish Pasties so that is on my hit list. I did not know that about Tikka Masala. We can now get minced lamb here at Aldi so Shepherds Pie should be a breeze. Onward!
There's nothing nicer than a beautiful piece of Australian lamb roasted medium rare with all of the roast veggies & gravy topped off with a few dashes of mint sauce. I'm making myself hungry just thinking about it. It's good that you can find some ingredients near you so that your tastebuds don't get too homesick.
Do the Melton Mobray pork pies come with the aspic in them? Some versions I've seen of pork pies are just the meat with none of the aspic inside. You've got to have the aspic or it's just not right.
Toad in the hole is much easier to find than a scotch egg with a soft yolk, and cottage pie is made with beef mince, shepherds pie is lamb.
I love British or Irish bangers, but they are entirely different from American sausages, German, Italian or otherwise. They're hard to find, but worth it, IMO.
British/Irish bacon is also entirely different from American bacon. My aunt in Harlow likes "the streaky" bacon best, which is very similar to American-style bacon. In the U.K. you can buy raw British bacon and also raw gammon (ham) steaks, thick-cut in a steak-like slab. Just heavenly.
British or Irish fish and chips are sooo good. Going to the "Chip Shop" for dinner is an at least weekly thing
(or more) for Brits. Nothing else substitutes for real F&C. My aunt likes "Plaice", as she says it, best. I like Skate.
Pies of all kinds are plentiful in the UK. My fave is steak and mushroom pie.
How many times I've had "A Ploughman's" (ham, bread and cheese separate on a plate) I could not count.
My wife's fave is Shepard's Pie. I like it with the traditional ground lamb, but mince (ground beef) works as well.
We had Lancashire Hot Pot (spicy lamb stew with thin sliced potatoes) at a Cambridge Circus pub in London and it's' become my favourite for that kind of dish.
Scones with clotted cream is another fave. Irresistible.
British food is great. The old, weary reputation that it is not is completely false.
Shepherds Pie is only made with lamb. Cottage pie is a different dish using beef.
@@Lucifurion Yes, I know, but we call them both "Shepherd's Pie" anyway. Both are great.

And you didn’t mention the iconic SAUSAGE ROLL
I've always looked at British Cuisine as comfort food. Nothing fancy just practical, simple and tasty. Also, you didn't mention Tripe. Although not as common anymore, If cooked right it is absolutely delicious. But if not cooked right it can be awful.
One of the interesting things I found is that if you go to a proper Mexican restaurant here in the USA, you can get tripe tacos, and they're very nice.
My husband and I went to a Long John Silver's here in Denver, and their idea of Fish and Chips was fish, with a side of POTATO CHIPS. Both of us had to restrain ourselves from chewing out the manager.
A proper scotch egg is hard boiled the soft boiled scotch egg is very nice but it is something that has only come about popularity in the last decade or 2
Here in Hawaii, Spam & egg sandwiches are a low price standard breakfast. I just ate one. Jelly roll type thing are widely served by Filipino bakeries here. Mazapan is a Spanish candy too.
@Jim Carner I fry the Spam lightly in olive oil. Most local people use soy sauce, or Teriyaki sauce, a sweetened soy sauce. The eggs go over hard in sandwiches & tostadas ( corn tortilla enclosure) fried with cheddar cheese). Americans often eat Mexican food with cheddar, an English cheese. Monterey Jack, or queso blanco, white cheese is usually used by Mexicans themselves.
We produce the best food in the world, bar none, forget the French and Italians, the Chinese and Indians also, we took what we liked and reshaped it to our tastes, best cuisine, curry sauce over a baked potato with a side of pork sausages, yum yum.
LMAO
I've lived in Germany around 16 years, and although the food is great I do miss British food. Chip bap, sausage sandwich and pies. UK food needs more recognition as they do here with simple German dishes. It's a part of our culture and should be celebrated as such.
@Simon Smith Currywurst in 🇩🇪
Fresh baked, warm English scones and jam + tea 🇬🇧
@@FART-REPELLENT nice racism
I can't decide if I am disappointed or excited that only 3 of these were new to me.
I want a full English right now.
So do I, minus the tomatoes.
Bangers and mash w gravy is my sweet spot 👌🤌
Shepherds pie and cottage pie are NOT the same. Cottage is beef and shepherds is lamb.
Yep bacon sandwich is a big go too if late for work. Love it
Any recipes you have included in UK foods which contain flavourings, will be herbs , with an "h" and not "erbs" the way many US residents pronounce it.
Herb is a mans name, erb is a flavoring.
@D Anemon
In England & Australia it's an English word & pronounced "herb". If it's a French word & Americans pronounce it right why can't they pronounce "tourniquet" correctly?
