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.
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.

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.
It’s basically a spongey, boiled (or steamed) cake thing with currents (the “spotted”) and spices. Normally served with custard. “Dick” is an archaic term for “pudding”, which is British for “broadly dessert, but not always”.
It’s really quite nice and I highly recommend it. Just saddled with an…unfortunate name.

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

Love Shepherd’s Pie
Still? Greggs is a rip off now and there are far too many of them. 16 in the damn centre of Manchester.
Just so none of us have to do a web search. What is spotted dick and why is it called that?

It’s a steamed suet pudding made with raisins or sultanas which make it look spotty.
Really not beating the allegations with that one.
“Dick” is an archaic way of writing dough. It can also be called spotted dog
