Eat in British

        Do you love British accent over American accent? If your answer is yes, then, do you love British food? British food has a long history, it has been influenced by foreign invaders. First the Vikings, then the Romans and even the French brought to the English table a melting pot of ingredients and foods. Also, the colonies have a great influence on British foods. The British Empire’s colony in East Asia brought tea back to England, and in return the English took it to India another colonial outpost. From India came the English obsession with curry, spicy sauces and condiments which now are an intrinsic part of English. Although much damage was inflicted on British cookery throughout two world wars, British has regained its reputation for some of the finest foods, best chefs, and renowned restaurants. And here I'm gonna introduce some traditional British foods for you and hope you will like them.

1. Yorkshire Pudding

        This dish is not usually eaten as a dessert like other puddings but instead as part of the main course or at a starter.Yorkshire pudding, made from flour, eggs and milk, is a sort of batter baked in the oven and usually moistened with gravy. The traditional way to eat a Yorkshire pudding is to have a large, flat one filled with gravy and vegetables as a starter of the meal. Then when the meal is over, any unused puddings should be served with jam or ice-cream as a dessert.

2. Fish and chips

        Fish (cod, haddock, huss, plaice) deep fried in flour batter with chips (fried potatoes) dressed in malt vinegar. This is England's traditional take-away food or as US would say "to go". Fish and chips are not normally home cooked but bought at a fish and chip shop to eat on premises or as a "take away".

3. Pie and Mash with parsley liquor

         This is a very traditional East End London meal. The original pies were made with eels because at the time eels were a cheaper product than beef. About fifty years ago, mince beef pies replaced the eels and have now become the traditional pie and mash that people know. The traditional pie and mash doesn't come without its famous sauce known as liquor which is a curious shade of green and definitely non-alcoholic. The liquor tastes much nicer than it looks (it's bright green!).

4.  Bubble & Squeak

        This dish typically made from cold vegetables that have been left over from a previous meal, often the Sunday roast. The ingredients are potato and cabbage, but carrots, peas, brussels sprouts, and other vegetables can be added. The cold chopped vegetables (and cold chopped meat if used) are fried in a pan together with mashed potato until the mixture is well-cooked and brown on the sides. The name is a description of the action and sound made during the cooking process.

5. Black Pudding (Blood Pudding)

        The Black Pudding looks like a black sausage. It is made from dried pigs blood and fat). Eaten at breakfast time. Black pudding recipes vary from region to region, some are more peppery and some are more fatty than others. Personally, I don't think I have the courage to try it.
