British Food is awesome. It's not very colorful or ultra complex but it's the kinda food that warms the soul.

  • A good Sunday Roast with yorkshire pudding, lamb, roasted potatoes, peas, and gravy
  • Fish and Chips served with a good curry or mushy peas
  • Fresh warm scones with clotted cream and jam
  • A proper fry up with a cup of tea
  • Beef Wellington
  • Pie Mash
  • Meat pies
  • Bridies
  • Scotch Eggs
  • Minemeat Pies
  • Spotted Dick (Yeah yeah)
  • Treacle Tart
  • Banoffee Pie

There are few things that bring me more joy than popping into a Greggs on a cold rainy morning for an overheated cup of generic tea and a sausage roll.

My mom dated a Englishman when I was a kid and he made us "Yorkshire Pudding" that shit was excellent.

The best 'Fish and Chips" are made at this little seaside rstaurant in Oregon and made with Salmon. They must have ran out of chips because I got French Fries instead. Was still excellent though.

Ba dum tiss!

Best Fish n' Chips Ive had was at a small pub near the old harbor in Reyknavik, arguing with two brits about toy internet spaceships, where the fish was alive that morning.

Euro food is the best, even the simple things, its just better.

Euro food is the best, even the simple things, its just better.

I certainly wouldn't want to limit myself to "Euro" food exclusively. It's good, but so is Mexican, Argentinian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese etc. I love how diverse food culture is.

I mostly am refering to food quality, no matter the quisine. When ever I fly back to the US from abroad, it takes a few days for everything to stop tasting like plastic, or having something off about it.

Its quite sad...

When you fly back to the US from abroad it takes a few days for everything to stop tasting like plastic? So you like food that tastes of plastic? I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

Still? Greggs is a rip off now and there are far too many of them. 16 in the damn centre of Manchester.

Those sound good to have now and then, but not every day

Just so none of us have to do a web search. What is spotted dick and why is it called that?

[–] DocDish@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_dick

It's a steamed suet pudding made with raisins or sultanas which make it look spotty.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Really not beating the allegations with that one.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Dick refers to pudding.

"Dick" is an archaic way of writing dough. It can also be called spotted dog
