What are some of the good British dishes someone can eat if you are on a visit.?
I used to go to the CocknBull in Santa Monica and get the sunday "Traditional lamb Dinner with mint sauce.( i think)
I was surprised how good it was. I always thought you guys eat FishnChips and Bangers only.lol
Whats your favorite British dish and whats your not so favorite?
Thanks
-
Steak and chips for me, Diane sauce not a British sauce but never mind.
-
roast beef, chicken, lamb
cornish pasty
lancashire hot pot or just stew and dumplings
bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, bread/ waffles, mushrooms etc
there are all sorts of fish dishes that are different to pacific fish
pies
yorkshire pudding
pork pie
sausage roll
scotch egg
etc

a good traditional cottage pie made with left over roast beef (or lamb but this would be a shepherds pie) is hard to fucking beat.
steak and kidney pudding. has to be homemade, which sadly you never see much anymore.
a roast dinner. no one on earth does roast as good as we do..no one !
fray bentos, chips, mushy peas and gravy :P :P :P :P

Any suggestions where to eat such swanky dishes, when a certain couple would hypothetically be staying in the triangle King's Cross / Tottenham Crt Rd / Barbican early October?
Also, anyone familiar with The Lamb on Lamb's Conduit Rd? Only had the sausage platter and some cider, but never tried the rest of the menu.

Great with gravy, and also great with a few fried eggs dipped in the yolk.
-
Not sure if traditional but rabbit pie was also a firm favorite growing up.

Here in Holland we don't have a pub culture, so the ones we have are complete shite, only frequented by old men from lower social strata. So I don't trust any pub anywhere unless it is recommended to me. The Lamb was nice, went to a different one in June but was quite drunk and recall very little of the experience. :D

I don't fancy British curries. Always bland and flavourless. Even the ones in an Indian restaurant owned by Indians suck. Spoilt by having them in India, probably.

So 'follow the football jerseys' it is, then. ;D

Braised lamb shanks are my fave.

Haggis - strangely, the best haggis I've had was cooked by Sri Lankan chefs in Afghanistan.

someone at work recommended this place to me

but she is a bit of a dorkish hipster. probably VP's dream woman. but whether you trust her rec or not is another question.
i have been to benares but thought it was a bit rubbish. chutney mary in chelsea has a good rep. gymkhana on albemarble st has had good reviews but i havent been. chor bizarre is sh1t.
-
Find a nice pub
Have steak and ale pie with chips
And a pint of ice cold lager
Perfect
-
Yes, Lamb and Mint jelly is insanely good. Shepherds Pie is good too.
I still have never had the full english breakfast with beans and blood sausage. :(

I make a yummy apple pie made all from scratch. I also am good with roasts either lamb or chicken. I do more chicken than lamb since I don't eat lamb but sometimes I will do both if requested by family and friends. My pavlova is my grandmas receipe and I have never tasted a better one unless it's my mums.

Funny but I have always cooked and made everything from scratch including stocks for soups etc. I wouldn't be able to marry him as I want forever when and if I marry.

Ah, I never use the dry bake mix, and prepared pastry is virtually not avaiable in Holland. So I always bake from scratch...

well my guess is SimpleSimon has:

what else does a girl like booty want?

tbh the dishes mentioned are pretty standard. i would personally say that what really stands out in GB cuisine is fish and deserts. fish - we are an island, problem is fish is best cooked with limited adulteration. deserts. well we have so many and the fruit based ones are my faves.
even a summer berry type crumble is a really excellent, healthy desert, albeit not bb food.

Yes, good one.
Usually we get a loaf of fresh tiger bread for this meal, and I make myself an impromtu ham, egg, chip and HP sandwich ;D

Our neighbours gave us a bag full of rhubarb a couple of days back, as they grew too much. Last night my wife made a rhubard crumble and from a few observations it was something like this:
1. Rhubarb & blueberries sauteed in butter and caster sugar in a small frying pan
2. Topping made from crumbling flour, sugar, butter together and then she added some almond granola cereal and broke up some walnuts by hand (not shells lol)
Once the top was browned in the oven I had this with a drizzle of double cream and it was fucking amazing.
The granola and walnuts made the crumble topping a lot more interesting

Mmmmm Curry.
My Nan (from my English side) used to make an egg curry for us sometimes that was bloody gorgeous.
Apart from the premixed curry powder she fried the onion in, the only other seasoning was a beef oxo cube. It maybe shouldnt have worked as well as it did, but was a lovely dish, the oxo thickened the broth up just enough.
She boiled and peeled the eggs first and once the curry sauce was finished just popped them in and let them simmer for another 20-30 mins before serving over rice.

Not the ones I've had. All bland and disappointing. Last time was at Rasa Maricham because I was staying at the Kings Cross Holiday Inn (yes, high roller). Not a white man in sight, yet curry that couldn't warm the heart of a starving eskimo.

I always order either a vindaloo (if they are using scotch bonnet/habenero peppers, better taste by far) or a pathia and ask for extra chilli.
I get lime pickle on the side and it really compliments whatever rice/curry I get. Far from bland definitely.

Not sure u need butter with rhubarb. Beetroot would mellow the acidity as well

Onion is the only thing on your "list" that is in there.

No. Chips, as in Chips. Not from France, no one from Mcdonalds come to our house to fry them, just regular chips.
Fried potatoes. ;D

I went I a pub once and asked (before we ordered the food) did they do real chips, the young guy behind the bar said "yes" I said "real chips" he said "yes".
I ordered and when the food came it was frozen chips, I went to the bar and complained to the guy and he looked at me blankly and said "they are real chips"
When I pointed out that to make real chips you have to peel a fucking potato and cut it up and fry it he looked blankly at me.
I dont think he had EVER had a real chip.

Any kid who wasn't served real chips, with a bottle of sarsons on the table and bread and butter on the side should have called NSPCC ;D
