[DocWolfe]

big sunday dinner; would include the following

Chicken/Pork
Gravy
Stuffing (This awesome stuffing my mum makes with sausage meat in WOW)
Yorkshire Puds
Cauliflower Cheese
Roast Potatoes
Lashings of pepper.

or a large portion of battered cod and chips, and a battered sausage on the side, with a couple of rounds of bread and butter.

Heres me thinking about all this while I've got £3 to feed me for the next week

Mmm food!

well i love mash (mash em with the skins on and mixed herbs in) with really thick gravey and either bangers or some other kind of meat.

roast dinner, with roast taters, yorkie puds, mashed taters, if its pork its got to have crackling if its chicken i have to whip theoysters out and eat them whilst serving up lol, gravey you can cut with a knife and various veg.... some roasted.

fry up: bacon really crisly, scrambled eggs (with cheeeese), saussages (but good ones, hate cheap ones i always find something dubious in em), mushrooms, tomatoes (not tinned!), and toast Mmm nummy.

 

[lilmissnaughty]

fish an chips ftw
go to wetherspoons an experience the mixed grill - big fat plate of meat with chips, peas tomato an mushroom
not quite a dinner but we r the cake/pudding masters - if u could live off em without getting sick or fat sometimes i think i would

 

[Haggus]

Beans on Toast !

 

[Benedictine]

Im so glad no one put curry down - its as British as Pizza is american

Mmm, tandoori sausages sound nice.

My mum is a cracking cook, her sunday roast is to die for and I have never had better gravy than the stuff she makes. As for stuffing, Doc was right that proper stuffing done with quality sausage meat is yummylicious.

My top 3 would be ;

My Mum's homemade braised steak with mash and roast spuds covered in the gravy from the braised steak. Simply devine.

Sunday Roast has to be on the list, chicken or beef roasted with all the trimmings and proper yorkshire puddings with stuffing. British stodge at it's best and full of flavour.

Coddle. An Irish dish that is a bit like a casserole made from ham or bacon with best sausages (very high pork content) in the stock from a boiled ham with carrots, potatos and some other veg. The flavour is mouthwatering, I use the recipe my great grandmother used that has been passed down the family, everyone I cook it for always demands that I write down the recipe so they can cook it for themselves. The recipe varies from family to family and county to county across Ireland but the end product is always very tasty and generally a very cheap family meal.

Ireland is part of the British Isles by the way and the people of these islands have a shared history dating back thousands of years, they are Irish not British bit thier cooking is very much related to the cooking that the British have been doing for eons.

Technically the curry we eat in the UK is British, you see although it is based on traditional Indian cooking it was radically altered to suit the British pallete. You won't find Indian people eating the stuff we call 'curry', the food they call 'curry' is much more like a spicy stew and has a much higher vegtable and pulse content. A couple of Indian guys I know say the curries we eat are vile, too hot with no variety to the taste.
