Roast beef, yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots Roast potatoes and gravy followed by any of these sweets .. apple crumble with custard, rhubarb tart and custard, spotted dick and custard....apple pie and custard (mustn't forget the custard lol) followed by cheese and biscuits and a good cup of English tea.!!!!
For 4pm....sandwiches with cakes and biscuits and tea of course.
Modern day England has gone over to Indian curries which is now the most popular food here. Tandoori chickens, balti , naans, chapattis etc. The hotter the better followed by a nice cool beer.

Traditionally English has to be old favourites like Roast Beef, Yorkshire pudding etc etc .. however the southerners like French food because they think its cool. Traditional English is fast disappearing, if you cannot buy it as a fast food or in a tin or frozen then don't think about .. English food needs cooking at home ..as for Fish and Chips .. probably the best known its not so good anymore, no fresh fish and people eating it with curry gravy is, well is like worshipping the devil ..

While fish and pies or pasties are sold with chips in chip shops around England, there are some great regional specialities. In the West Midlands, cod roe is common fare in chip shops (delicious). In the Bristol area where I'm from we used to have faggots with chips (these are not what you might think but meatballs with herbs and spices in an intestine lining, a bit like Scottish haggis), but they've died out in the last few years.
Only in the far east corner of Kent can you find sheppie and chips; these are balls of corned beef and potato, fried in batter. Most locally of all, in Grimsby you can get pea fritters.
Yorkshire fish and chips are the best, fried in lovely cholesterol-rich beef dripping.

Apart from the obvious roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, how about pies like Shepherd's, beef and onion, steak and kidney, pork. Sandwiches. Beef Wellington. Sausages, black pudding, bacon and egg or a full English breakfast, crumpets, toast, muffins, fairy cakes or a host of other tea-time goodies. Desserts such as trifle, summer pudding, sponge cake, spotted dick and custard. Cheeses by the score.
