Seems I'm hardly British at all. Not heard of or sampled the majority of these which are mainly rural regional dishes, many of which have fallen into disuse. And many of them, especially the innuendo laden, are fictitious.

Bit of a mix according to that.
Fish'n'chips, toad in tha hole, scotch eggs, bubble'n'squeak. We've got one shop down the road that does wicked scotch eggs, put onto it by me pommie mates. I'll always rate pommie food, good tucker a lot of it. Pommie slang also, top tier.

On a related note, I DO want to try Yorkshire Pudding at some point while I'm still alive.

I'm zero percent British, except I have eaten corn.
However, I talk like I'm British, using their phrasing. Not the accent, just the way the words are put together. Americans have nothing on the Brits when it comes to the turn of a phrase.
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Ah, so you're old enough to drink then. Good to know!

When I drank it was Carlsberg. 1. because I liked it, and 2. I could tell if somebody stole my beer at parties. Everyone drank Molson Canadian or Labatt's Blue.

Just make sure you get the beef dripping nice and hot before you chuck the batter in. (Blimey, sounds a bit rude)
LOL! Thanks for the sage advice. I'm not a cook so I'm sure I'll be having Yorkshire Pudding at a restaurant.

Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Elie Wiesel. Romanian born Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate, Holocaust survivor. 1928 - 2016.

Not where I live, and this is pretty funny, where I live is old, conservative, and white. Gun/Truck/Beard town for sure. And I can't count how many times I've got into conversations about various craft beers while buying beer here...
Yet it's also simultaneously old, conservative, white towns all over America that are responsible for something like Bud Light being the #1 seller in America - go figure...
California conservatives are just ahead of the rest of the country when it comes to beer lol!
I am old enough & British enough to prefer ales to lager style beer. However, Carling is probably the UK's favourite beer depending upon how you measure it (by volume, by value, in retail or in the "on" trade).

Noooooo! It has to be home made!
And any left over is eaten cold the next day spread with jam! [/quote]
Wait, left over Yorkies? Surely not such a thing. Like saying left over roasties. And you Northern weirdos putting gravy on your chips!!!! No. Stop it.

Yes, gravy AND cheese curds. (poutine)
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Left-over roasties ( I always make too many) are upcycled into 'Bubble & Squeak' on Monday in this house!

Hey, English food ain't so bad after all. It all seems quite appetizing.

The naming conventions could use some work though. 😅

I was curious so I looked up "bubble & squeak". The Spanish definitely have their own version of this which they call a "tortilla" which is NOT to be confused with the Mexican food "tortilla".

It's an excellent way to use up left over veg, however in the past I've cooked various veg just so I can make B&S out of it the next day.
I prefer mine 'chunky'. That is I chop the veg into small pieces. My sister-in-law makes it more like a 'pattie' which is ok but my dad made it that way and that's what I do. He would have cold meat left over from the Sunday lunch with it. My dad was a wizard in the kitchen. I miss those Sunday lunches Great food and good company.

You reminded me of a funny incident I had at a restaurant when I lived in Texas. Apparently this restaurant has a reputation for really good catfish and I asked the waitress if they offered it "blackened" style and she looked at me like I was some kind of alien and then told me that everyone she knows eats their catfish fried. LOL
