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.

Also you forgot Toad in the Hole

I'm not a massive fan of toad in the hole, tbh.

Irish stew

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They make a mean Irish stew in Northern Ireland. So, yes, Irish stew.

Northern Ireland is more Catholic than Protestant tbh

Just to clarify / confuse but both Irelands (republic and north) are on an island in the British Isles… but, yeah, the Irish Irish certainly ain’t British; as we’re using it here.
