Let's have a thread for some British foods. To start, the cheese and onion sandwich. Never seen this in the US before, it seems good.

[Anonymous No.18842250]

Yeah thats a standard cheap sandwich you can get anywhere in the UK. A fancy sandwich is Coronation Chicken. Thats chicken in a curried mayonnaise thats also got sultanas in it. Sometimes you may see bits of apricot instead of sultanas

Right dickheads, you're gonna see some real proper English food in here. Gets a bad rep in the rest of the world but that's because the rest of the world are fucking idiots.

We start with the humble pork pie, invented in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, which is actually my home county. It's a hot water crust pastry case filled with dense, roughly cut pork and fat, and then a bit of pork jelly to fill in the edges where it meets the pastry. There's really nothing much else like a pork pie, other pies don't taste the same. There's also the 'gala pie' which is basically the same but with an egg in the middle (nothing to do with a scotch egg)

Next up we've got faggots. Not to be confused with OP, they're actually a meatball made from pork, offal, herbs (especially sage I think) and then its wrapped in caul fat, which as anyone with Wikipedia knows is the membrane that surrounds some organs. This one's also from the often-forgotten Midlands (which shouldn't fucking be forgotten. With the canals and industry here we fueled the industrial revolution). Don't knock it until you've tried it with thick gravy, peas and mash. Very hearty and warming, mum used to make these for me after football in the winter. They don't taste anything like normal meatballs either. Mr Brains is an ok brand if your butcher doesn't do them. They should though, bring 'em back!

I'm gonna go real fucking regional now. This is the Staffordshire oatcake. It's sort of a thick pancake made using oatmeal, flour, water and baking powder so it rises a bit and you get all the bubbles. It's pretty much only consumed in places like Stoke-on-trent and the surrounding areas (yep, also Midlands, bite me), and my favourite way to have them was with bacon, scrambled egg and tomato. Got me through uni, did oatcakes

>>18842350
The pastry is supposed to be thick. I think in part so the hot jelly (when it's put in) is contained. No matter though, because it's got a really good flavour and has to contend with the density of the filling. Oh, I forgot to mention that pork pies are consumed cold.

A good point well made, I had a look through my phone to see what I've got in there... I tend to not take pictures of food we cook much because it's not particularly notable. Would someone from the Midwest have a picture of hotdish they made on their phone, for example?
Anyway, here's a proper Christmas pudding my wife made a couple of years ago. It's a really hearty and again quite dense dessert, with fruit, nuts, and the typical Christmas spices of ginger, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, allspice... this one we also covered in brandy butter when serving. It was steamed for a few hours, which is really the way to go because the steaming process makes nice and moist what could otherwise be quite dry and stodgy

It simply makes no sense, right? Don't even need brown sauce or anything, it's already perfect

Next up, Lancashire hotpot! It's like a Minecraft shepherds pie, in the sense that the lamb is chunked and the potatoes sliced, rather than minced and mashed respectively. It's a nice rich lamb stew (so think seasoned with rosemary, lots of pepper, onion...), Made from cheaper cuts like neck (hairy bikers have a recipe where they also use kidney, might be worth a shot), topped with any old sliced potatoes and cooked low and slow. Perfect on a cold day like today

Its pork stock turned into jelly. Adds moisture obviously, plus a salty savoury element. Melton Mowbray are more darker and drier than other pork pies, so they really need it. Other places use different pastry and top their pork pies with jelly aswell as having some inside. You can also get a beef version to, which I think is better than the usual pork variety

Rome did it during various points in it's history

But when people say we "Invited" them, it was more the large industries demanded more workers to keep wages low as the hundreds of thousands of dead workers meant people could pick and choose where they worked and could essentially name their price. And they obviously couldn't have that, that would have been good, so we "Had" to import a bunch of fucking indians

Yep, we got curry. Hooray, totally makes up for the masses of crime and raped children. Thanks big business, it sure was great that you couldn't stand paying more than the absolute fucking minimum in wages

I made coronation chicken sandwiches before and they were amazing~! Here's an easy recipe from the BBC https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/easy-coronation-chicken Sure, its a cheap way of doing it but it tastes pretty much identical even without the dozens of spices and what-not.

Fun fact about Co-op's meal deal. It's £4 but if you have a membership card it's £3.50, but the system doesn't check you've paid full price before taking that 50p off because the entire business's back end is written by the cheapest Indians they could find. Go in at the right time and you can get a meal deal for a quid. They also stack with the 2 offers you get on the Co-op app. Getting 50p off a can of Relentless, then another 50p off for the meal deal, all while getting staff discount on a 60p butty and 20p pot of fruit comes out pretty cheap.

Its commoner food. £1.50 fresh from a bakery. Even from an artisan place in Cornwall youd never probably go above £5. A Cornish pasty is geographically protected and has to be made in Cornwall with the traditional recipe to be called a Cornish pasty.

Like >>18849566 said they're a traditionally cheap meal for miners. The crimped crust was designed so you could hold it with dirty hands from working in the mines.
