A comment on this earlier AskLemmy post inspired me to ask this question. I think there's lots of delicious British food/it really depends on how you cook it, as with any cuisine.

Steak and ale pie is delish!

Hm what is that? I know the words but I never heard them in this combination as a dish.

It's a pie with steak and ale in it

How does the ale stay in there? Or is it just a little bit?

It's mixed in with gravy, I guess the gravy and pastry are thick enough that no liquid component seeps out.

It's alright if the pie splits a bit upon serving because the gravy is going to release onto your plate when you cut in anyway.

It's also usually alright if some leaks out during cutting because we often put them in tinfoil pie - cups. Example

Oh, mate, why would you cite Pukka pies as an example of good British food. They're the Kraft dinner macaroni cheese of British pies.

The ale is cooked into the sauce, like a sauce made with red wine.
