Pork pies!



Bread pudding and custard. Very warm and comforting.



Yorkshire pud with bangers! (y)
But do people in England really eat that in a day today life? Theres loads of things we have here that we do eat but only at the odd time of the year. Like brussels at christmas.

I have never eat ******* or any of that other stuff. English people eat the same as us here which is none of the above. Just ordinary meals like a roast dinner, curry and rice, fajitas etc.

I saw quite a bit of it in England. Also common to see butchers carrying around whole hogs, whole pig's heads for sale.etc.

Of course they eat it, they're not there for show . You probably need to educate yourself on other cultures, because it seems your knowledge of even English cuisine is lacking. It's all traditional English fare. Curry and rice, fajitas etc are all foreign foods so I dunno what you're talking about.

You just said English people don't eat pork pies, blood pudding, yorkshire pudding, pheasant, rabbit pie. They might not be an everyday thing for most people, but to say they never eat it is just not even worth taking seriously.

Boxes? Like what, frozen in the supermarket? Do you ever buy meat from the butcher's or the meat section of the supermarket?

We get it from a place called mcatemneys and it has everything in boxes. The only place you can see the meat is up front where it is stored in a fridge. But it is shreded into bits.

In other countries you can see like the fish eyes and stuff. But here we remove all of that.

Every butcher I've ever seen everywhere has the meat displayed out the front. You can also often see the carcasses hanging out back. Dunno if I'd want to buy meat from a butcher that kept it in boxes.

The only traditional food British people eat on a regular basis are Full breakfasts, desert-type pies, Meat pies, Roast dinners, Shepherd's/Cottage pie, Soups, Fish and Chips and thats about it.
