I am passionate about a great many things.
Sex, Star Wars… actually films in general, sex, music, motorbikes, books, sex, poker, alcohol, sex and last but not least FOOD. (Oh and in case I didn’t mention it… sex).
I recently dedicated a post to the great art of making sandwiches sooooo big they become a challenge to actually fit in ones mouth. To continue this theme I would like to champion the much maligned (unfairly I think) art of cooking British style.
British chefs do have knockers (but there are plenty of male chefs too… eh… nudge, nudge) particularly those from the USA which is surprising really considering that America is the home of everything fast, cheap and tacky (McDonalds, chilli dogs on sticks, Britney Spears etc…). The French, who claim to be the best at cuisine (and everything else for that matter) have long derided our Yorkshire puddings and fish & chips, this coming from a nation of frog eaters. Some countries eat worms, bugs and spiders…. eeewww. Germany fought two world wars in an attempt to turn Britain into a nation of sausage sucking sauerkraut eaters but we prevailed.
And so, to celebrate good old British fayre I bring you three national institutions.
Number 1… The great British breakfast fry up.
Fat gut inducing, yes… artery clogging, certainly… the best way to start the day, hell yes especially when accompanied by a cup of tea and a round of fried bread.
Number 2… Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.
with roast potatoes and gravy… bring it on.
And finally…
Number 3… Shepherds pie (not made with real shepherds)
A real treat of minced beef, onions and vegetable topped off with creamy mashed potatoes.
Now if you are looking at the above with disgust all I can say is don’t knock it until you try it and just be thankful I didn’t mention the spotted dick.
lol…. well, loved the American cheap and tacky(britney spears) part…. ;o)
That food is making me DROOL! Arghhh one of the best things about going to the UK is all the yummy food from quaint little family-run places. And when my aunt and uncle (who’s English) make some big meal with beef and Yorkshire pudding….. mmmmm orgasmicness!
Have a good day now xxxxxx

Hi Nischal, thanks for your comment.
Hi Claire, thanks for visiting and commenting… I’m chuffed to bits that you did. Orgasmicness indeed
Hi Denise, oh yes… a very dirty mind, marvelous.
Spotted dick??!!
All I can say is that I tried the British breakfast once and I didn’t really like it
The food was too heavy for breakfast 
But I would love to try the dish that you explained to me the other day (with beer)
Good post
Made me laugh, which is great especially considering the crappy day I have had so far 
I needed it 
Thanks Wen, I can understand what you mean if you’re used to a light breakfast however try having the British fry up for brunch. Remember too that things can be grilled rather than fried. This reduces the chance of an immediate heart attack without ruining the dish.
My recipe for beef stew in beer and steak and stout stew will be featured soon, along with a side of humour that is.
Sorry your day is shite (technical term) however remember that when you’re down you can only go up…

Freddy, I think you just forgot one main ingredient of British food… where is the ketchup???
Can you imagine the queen without a crown?
JPB you’re absolutely right!!! Shame on me… how could I forget the good old tomato ketchup or the HP fruity brown sauce. I shall go home immediately and beat myself with a wet kipper as penance
