types of British foods (wedding, to buy, shop)

[StrkAliteN]

I honestly don't know much about British foods.

And at this point in my life ... very unlikely I start dabbling into it.

Read some of the posts and it pretty much confirmed I will definitely not be experimenting with British foods

Bacon Butty- I looked it up. Has anyone ever eaten this. It calls for HP sauce. What is this and what does it taste like?

HP is a lot like Heinz 57. There are a few varieties, though. One is sweeter.

Crisps- I assume it's like potato chips?

It is potato chips. Because chips = fries.

Steamed pudding- looks interesting- I'd like to try the chocolate fudge but they also have spotted dick pudding.

Not really my thing.

Twiglets- I guess are like pretzel sticks?

Sorta. The ones I've had are flavored with Marmite. No real directly comparative product.

Marrowfat peas

Used for mushy peas, which are great.

I think it’s more Scottish, by my English grandmother used to order finnan haddie in a restaurant we went to on special occasions.

Jammie Dodgers are available in Raleigh, so no doubt Concord as well. Popular after being featured in Dr. Who a few seasons ago.

I miss the Worcestershire flavored crisps!

Best,

Dave

Smoked haddock was very popular in London. Our family ate it.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Beef Wellington yet. Gordon Ramsay has a nice tutorial on Youtube on how to make it.

My favorite is Scotch Eggs.

In my 40+ years I have never heard of tea being made in America with anything other than boiling water.
