Question

my son has a large assignment on england and has to vring in a dish from england and I having no time to prepare was wondering if new england clam chowder is a option? HeLp

Answer 1

New England Clam Chowder is not english.

English dishes could include:-

Bangers and Mash (sausages and mashed potatoes)
Fish and Chips
Balti (Although this is an indian style meal it was devised in Birmingham, England)

Roast Beef with all the trimmings is also seen as quite english.

Answer 2

Look no further than Shepherd's / Cottage Pie! - minced meat & veg under a mashed potato topping, baked in the oven till the potato is browned and has that lovely crispy texture on top. Very traditional english grub, simple to make, and tastes gorgeous. Also, being a dish that's cooked and served in a casserole, it has the benefit of being easily portable if your son needs to make the recipe before taking it into school.

Answer 3

while they say 'we,' who do they mean? of direction we don't talk suitable English. Our language became truncated from theirs 4 hundred years in the past. that is like an Icelander telling a Norwegian he would not talk suitable Icelandic. while they say they invented it, is like somebody asserting they invented the internet. So while the Angles, the Jutes, the Romans, the Celts, the Normans, the saxons, the Celts invaded England it became at their request for inventors of a greater suitable language?? i think of they have had some univited travellers over the years and to seem on the language as a purebred that could desire to no longer be tampered by utilising individuals an ocean away seems exceptionally blind to the info and ineffective as nicely hypocritical.

Answer 4

Sure, but I'd go with bangers and mash. The bangers are a type of sausage, and the mash is just mashed potatoes. They don't have Kraft dinner in England instead the make this.

Answer 5

Toad in the hole and sponge pudding with custard !
New England is not in England (UK) and we certainly dont cook clam chowder !
Lancashire hot pot ( a kind of lamb stew with pearl barley, potatoes etc.), bacon and eggs ....

Answer 6

CURRY!!!

It is, according to a number of surveys and guides, Britain's favorite food. However I dont know whether that would suitably please a school teacher unless they knew much about modern English culture.

So, i'd go with fish and chips wrapped in newspaper OR as suggested - Bangers and Mash but dont forget the gravy!

Answer 7

I don't know about the clam chowder but I do know that Yorkshire pudding is quite popular.

Answer 8

English Muffin

Answer 9

Yorkshire pudding with roast beef

Answer 10

The staple foods of Britain are meat, fish, potatoes, flour, butter and eggs. Many of our dishes are based on these foods.

New England Chowder comes from New England, US - not England, UK.

Main meal dishes:

Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding
This is England's traditional Sunday lunch, which is a family affair. Recipe

Yorkshire Pudding
This dish is not usually eaten as a dessert like other puddings but instead as part of the main course or at a starter.

Yorkshire pudding, made from flour, eggs and milk, is a sort of batter baked in the oven and usually moistened with gravy.
Recipe

The traditional way to eat a Yorkshire pudding is to have a large, flat one filled with gravy and vegetables as a starter of the meal. Then when the meal is over, any unused puddings should be served with jam or ice-cream as a dessert.

Toad-in-the-Hole (sausages covered in batter and roasted.)
Similar to Yorkshire Pudding but with sausages placed in the batter before cooking. (See photo right)

Roast Meats ( cooked in the oven for about two hours)
Typical meats for roasting are joints of beef, pork, lamb or a whole chicken. More rarely duck, goose, gammon, turkey or game are eaten.
Beef is eaten with hot white horseradish sauce, pork with sweet apple sauce and lamb with green mint sauce.

Steak and Kidney Pie with chips and salad

Cornish Pastie with chips, baked beans and salad Chicken Salad

Fish and chips
Fish (cod, haddock, huss, plaice) deep fried in flour batter with chips (fried potatoes) dressed in malt vinegar. This is England's traditional take-away food or as US would say "to go". Fish and chips are not normally home cooked but bought at a fish and chip shop ("chippie" ) to eat on premises or as a "take away"

Ploughman's Lunch (a piece of cheese, a bit of pickle and pickled onion, and a chunk of bread) This dish is served in Pubs

Shepherds Pie (made with minced lamb and vegetables topped with mashed potato and grated cheese.) Recipe

Cottage Pie (made with minced beef and vegetables topped with mashed potato and grated cheese. (Pictured right))

Gammon Steak with egg (Gammon is ham)
(Click here to see photo)

Lancashire Hotpot
A casserole of meat and vegetables topped with sliced potatoes. Recipe

Pie and Mash with parsley liquor A very traditional East End London meal.
The original pies were made with eels because at the time eels were a cheaper product than beef. About fifty years ago, mince beef pies replaced the eels and have now become the traditional pie and mash that people know.

The traditional pie and mash doesn't come without its famous sauce known as liquor which is a curious shade of green and definitely non-alcoholic. The liquor tastes much nicer than it looks (it's bright green!).

Jellied eels are also an East End delicacy often sold with pie and mash

Bubble & Squeak (typicallymade from cold vegetables that have been left over from a previous meal, often the Sunday roast) The chief ingredients are potato and cabbage, but carrots, peas, brussels sprouts, and other vegetables can be added. The cold chopped vegetables (and cold chopped meat if used) are fried in a pan together with mashed potato until the mixture is well-cooked and brown on the sides. The name is a description of the action and sound made during the cooking process.

English breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms, baked beans)

Bangers and Mash (mashed potatoes and sausages).
Bangers are sausages in England. (The reason sausages were nicknamed bangers is that during wartime rationing they were so filled with water they often exploded when they were fried.) Recipe

Black Pudding (Blood Pudding) (Looks like a black sausage. It is made from dried pigs blood and fat). Eaten at breakfast time Recipe

Black pudding recipes vary from region to region, some are more peppery and some are more fatty than others.

Bacon Roly-Poly (made with a suet pastry)

Cumberland sausage
This famous pork sausage is usually presented coiled up like a long rope
