FabSwingers.com forum: Typically British Food

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

Now that I've had a chip butty, I'd like to know what other foods I need to have in order to have had the true British culinary experience.

I'm a vegetarian, but Marc eats meat, so nothing is out of bounds. So, let's here it - what do you consider a typically, particularly British food?

-Courtney

The Balti was invented in Birmingham - curries date back to medieval times.

Interestingly, there is a place nearby called Lye. Originally it was called bucket town, due to the manufacture of pots and pans, but they went upmarket and re-named it after the soap ingredient.

More latterly, it has become known for the abundance of Balti houses and is known as the Balti strip.

Balti is Indian for bucket

Get Marc a dripper. Corner piece if possible. And if you're a pesctarian then a jar of cockles eaten with a cocktail stick or fried elvers. I'm assuming you've tried bubble and squeak? Or the joy that is an egg mayo sandwich with salt and vinegar chipsticks (or Wotsits) packed in? Make sure you squish it flat first. And the remnants of the gravy from roast lamb and mint sauce (sauce, not jelly) soaked up with a piece of sliced white bread. Marc will have to take one for the team on that front.

The Balti Triangle is just outside the centre of Birmingham. It's a lot more touristy now, but the food is still good. I used to go there a lot in the 80s after gigs as they stayed open until there was no one left to serve. You'd often bump into other bands doing the same thing after driving back from London or Manchester.

I always find it amusing how much of these dishes are favourite Irish meals too. Yet, whilst most Irish are no longer anti-British, they certainly distance themselves and claim to be sooooo different.

Of course not. But apparently in order to eat like the British I just have to put everything in a sandwich. It's sugar next.

It is. I'll have it later this week

It's not British food, it's student food. I bet you're no stranger to ramen.

Of course not. But apparently in order to eat like the British I just have to put everything in a sandwich. It's sugar next.

Try a poverty sandwich then - bread in between toast (with butter).

Damn straight. Has to be the chicken and mushroom one (although I believe it's suitable for vegetarians).

Omelettes with ham, mushrooms and cheese

Afternoon tea. Very English and you get a bit if everything

Sweet or savory scones

Victoria sandwich cake

Nice pot of tea

Fuck I'm hungry now!!!

Go for the British cheeses, we have some magnificent ones. Cornish Yarg for instance.

Apple and pear perries, stovies/scouse, depending on who claims origin, rice pudding, lemon posset, fruit cake, roast beef, Melton Mowbray pork pie, Stilton and Mac and cheese the British way.

Judging by this thread, the British eat shite.

Only one person mentioned the great British dish that is Chicken Tuna Masala.

I love Beef Wellington but it's a faff.

For my money, you can't go wrong with an English.

I like a full English breakfast. I have it all the time. Never thought about beans for breakfast until I came here.

Fried toast is possibly the most awful thing I've ever put in my mouth though. Right up there with tripe

Has anyone mentioned game yet? Venison is supposed to be lovely but I don't like it, too lean.

Next time you are down south, look out for rock salmon/huss. It's fished on the English Channel and the further north you go, the harder it is to find. It's actually the tail of a small shark and is juicy and fragrant. No small bones at all.

Sausage rolls and mushy peas were a favourite of mine growing up and just because my fella hasn't tried it either (despite actually being a Yorkshire man) definitely a crisp sandwich - preferably walkers cheese and onion on buttered bread
