England is full of old traditions. There's the standard 'Full English Breakfast', which I had heard of and eaten before. A 'Full English' as it is often refered to, consists of a fried egg, toast, sausages, a fried tomato, fried mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns, and bacon. Of course, there are multiple recipes, but those are the ingredients for the traditional English Breakfast.
Then there's 'Beans on Toast'. What a name! It's cheap and it's TASTY! You toast 2 slices of bread, spread butter or margarine on the toast and after heating baked beans (beans in tomato sauce and the most popular thing in England!), you dump the entire can over your buttered toast and voila!=beans on toast. DELICIOUS!
Then there's 'Bangers and Mash', which is simply sausages and mashed potatoes. And then there's Kebabs and Currys, both of which are extremely popular as food/snacks to eat at 3am when nowhere else is open but a Kebab shop!
Then there's Shepard's Pie and Mince Pie. And Cornish Pastys, which are sold absolutely everywhere!
And most importantly, the one I hadn't heard of before coming here- Sunday lunch! Sunday lunch consists of a meat of your choice, mixed vegetables, yorkshire pudding (it's another English food- kind of like a bun, which is the best way I can describe it), stuffing, multiple kinds of potatoes, and gravy poured all over the plate- and especially in the yorkshire puddings! Well, because I had never had a Sunday Lunch, Matt asked me to meet him at his flat Sunday afternoon and when I arrived, I found he had made an entire Sunday Lunch for the both of us!! It was sooo good!!!
YUMMMM!!
