i never got fish & chips.

why would you mix them?

Because it's a near-perfect meal on a cold and windswept day by the sea )

Eel pies are from medival europe which look, well disqusting, with the eads of the eels sticking up from the pie. It's not a pretty sight...

This man speaks the truth, the odd day in the summer when it's nice and warm, me and my family always head down to Helensburgh and have some Dino's Ice Cream then fish and chips

 

[Distorted Stu]

Parmos yum yum yum. Popular as hell in the North East because of its origin. Spread across the UK now, anyone tried one?

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

Crumpets and tea

 

[Ironic]

It's the Simpsons. The joke they run with the English is that they are all victorian era cockney stereotypes. Eels are probably got through some plays like Oliver Twist perhaps, they were a reasonably usual food then. And the pie? Just an extension of the same joke.

I'm pretty sure eels were eaten in London when people still thought it was all right to go fishing in the Thames...

Thought? It was. No pollution back then.

Except the huge amount of collective SHIT from every single londoner.

And slightly later, the large amounts of industrial waste just dumped in the water.

And late still, larger amounts, until people remembered poisons poison people.

Well, everyone can have their stereotypes. We do have Roast Dinners so you can thanks us for that during thanksgiving ironically enough.

But whatever, Americans can believe all we eat is scones, fish and chips, crumpets and black pudding. while the more unfriendly British people can believe America exists on a diet of McDonalds and grease.

Although in fairness I love KFC.

 

[Nevyrmoore]

Alright, for those of you wondering "Why the sodding hell would you mix chips with fish?", lesson for ya!

Spoiler: THESE are chips.

They are like "fries", only awesome.

So what do we have instead of your "chips"?

Spoiler: CRISPS.

These are also awesome, and can be eaten as is, or in-between two slices of bread.

Right, now carry on...

 

[AkJay]

Blood pudding.. blech.

English breakfast and roast dinners would be all I eat if they could be cooked quickly..
In fairness scones are possibly the nicest cake like substance you could ever spread jam on! Havn't had crumpets in a few years though

 

[Sir Ollie]

Cream tea and scones yum!

 

[Sulu]

That reminds me. I saw American Chopper and they took a trip to England and Scotland. Whilst in England they took part in what they called 'High Tea' in which they had some tea and cake. I'm english and have never heard of the phrase High Tea. Anyone else familiar with that? lol

 

[TyrantGanado]

Haggis, neeps and tatties up here (neeps and tatties = turnip and potato). Fried breakfasts are awesome two, Scottish and English variants. And yes, this is me pointing out what I like.

The one British food stereotype I see the most is probably tea and scones when talking about British or English or haggis when talking about Scots. Beer and potatoes when it comes to Ireland too, and Wales doesn't seem to have a stereotype regarding food.

 

[SirusTheMadDJ]

Tea and crumpets for England, haggis and porridge for Scotland, and Millers and Tennants for Ireland.

Scones too.

 

[energetic]

Tea and crumpets hell yeah! Also not forgetting the wonder that is victoria sponge.

We have good food I'm just not sure we're best at meals I speak for myself but I think us Englishmen throughout history have been best at the savoury option e.g. our cakes, pies, loaves and pasties.

The best thing we do though has to be putting a decent amount of sugar in our chocolate, I'm sorry but has anyone ever compared a Hershy bar to a Cadbury's chocolate bar?

Oh and just wanted to point out according to Bill Bailey Wales has cheese on toast XD

When I was in England, the only real complaint I had with the food was that my "medium" steak were fryed into a rocky piece of carbon rather than food. I've heard this is something englishmen are rather fond of doing.

A little bit of charcoal in your diet never did anyone any harm.
