Steak & kidney pie is amazing. Luckily lamb kidneys are one of the few offal meats I can find where I live so I make it as often as I can. I make up enough filling to make one large family sized pie & 3 to 4 smaller individual ones & instead of beef steak I use kangaroo & I make them all using buttery, flaky puff pastry. So delicious. I can't believe more people don't eat offal meats, they're delicious & incredibly nutritious & not using everything possible is wasteful & disrespectful to the animal.
@@Lucifurion You should try making a traditional "Pudding" rather than a pie. I'm sure you can get hold of beef suet. It sounds like you're in Oz so I'm sure they sell it. A "Pudding" is on another level from a shortcrust or puff pastry pie. It has to be steamed though but it can be speeded up by making the filling first and steaming it with the cooked filling. A traditional "Steak and Kidney Pudding" would have all the ingredients uncooked ie the meat, kidneys, onions etc and steamed for a longer time. There's nothing like the taste and flavour of a "Pudding"!!! You can also use sweet ingredients to make "Spotted Dick" or "Syrup Pudding" or "Jam Roly Poly" all which are Traditional English puddings and use beef suet pastry as their main ingredient and steamed in the same way. It's delicious!!!
Sorry all parts of the UK have there own regional recipe for Sausage and Black Scotland is quite renowned for its black pudding and Lorne sausage it makes an outstanding sandwich. In Scotland they eat potato scones with their breakfast also haggis. Also jam roly-poly has never been made with a sponge cake mix that would make it a Swiss roll. The best kipper you can get in my opinion are from the north of England Craster kippers from Northumberland are world-renowned. Yorkshire puddings extremely easy to make. It is equal quantities of milk, egg, pinch of salt and plain flour. You have got to have extremely hot fat beef dripping or goose fat is outstanding and a hot oven. Once the Yorkshire puddings are in the oven please dont open the oven door they will sink faster than your hopes and dreams.
Been travelling south America for 3 years and damn I miss British food, chocolate, baked beans, full English, bangers and mash and Yorkshire tea like mad.
Shepherds Pie is NOT also known as Cottage Pie , Shepherds deal with sheep so it’s minced LAMB with onion gravy and shouldn’t have vegetables in, Cottage pie is beef with veg added
If you want really good black pudding, come to Austria! And Marzipan is great. Marzipan covered with chocolate is a staple around Christmas in Austria. Also it is part of the famous Mozart-balls, whichever you try.
Now I'm hungry! :D As an Austrian Anglophile I regularly make Cottage Pie and Leek & Bacon Pie. Proper pork pies are quite hard to make so I'd rather enjoy them in situ when I'm in the UK. Another staple I'd mention is Coronation Chicken - a very popular sandwich filling or served on its own with leafy salad.
Give a Bedfordshire clanger a go its like a sausage roll and a cornish pasty had a baby. Also apple turnover will send you to another dimension, pickled eggs in a salad can really elevate it or just sit with a jar and scran them all 😂
Not mincemeat - that is quite different, a concoction of dried fruit, suet and brandy! Mince, or minced meat, is what is used in cottage pie and shepherd's pie.
I don't like almonds because they're too dry. So I'm amazed that almonds can be converted into something so jam-packed with flavor. I order chocolate covered marzipan sweets from a local catalog for every Christmas.
Joseph , this mash channel is just smug bullshit . Full English breakfast , I'd kill to try a Full on English Breakfast !! And this girl taking about it as it's just a friggin Egg McMuffin P.S. , I'm in El Paso Texas , and have looked all over within a hours drive just to have something close . What Mash's take on a proper English breakfast is disrespectful , and i believe never actually looked at the meal !!!
Bangers and mash, very nice, as long as they are decent bangers and not rubbish ones, so meaty ones, not full of breadcrumbs. Onion gravy is normally used for bangers and mash, but I do not like onion gravy, so normal beef gravy or Tomato ketchup for me.
British savoury meals are some of World’s the most blandest, thus ATROCIOUS at best. Apparently the most popular British savoury meal is Fish & Chips, how can this be considering that straight out of the deep-fryer Fish & Chips taste of nothing but cooking oil?. It is utterly shocking how utterly CRAP British savoury meals taste, considering that the British had the privilege of having spent 200 years in India. Even the most basic Indian meal tastes infinitely superior to anything British. Lastly even dogs raised by Indians have a superior taste in food than vast majority of white people.
The Brits hands down have the best breakfasts on the planet. Germany is a close second with lots of jams…cheeses…breads…cold cuts and musceli cereal with yogurt. Yummy!
God bless ya ---- but I'll take a big ol mega yank breakfast any day. Toast / jam -- pancake n maple syrup breakfast sausage n bacon hash browns or diced fried potatoes with pepper n onion eggs of course - either an omelet ( cheese, peppers, shrooms, onion, tomato ), over easy on the pancakes or scrambled fruit / melon juice, water, coffee Sorry -- baked beans, sliced tomato, blood pudding and those very strange appearing sausages just don't make a breakfast appealing. baked beans are for cook outs n hot dogs - I'd prefer sliced peaches over tomato myself - blood pudding sounds gaggable. Wow it's nice to disagree with someone in a silly way and not be called Ra --- ace --- its.
@@bubblebreak4160 Almost forgot. You’re right about France. Their breads alone have no equal. Not so sure about Japan. I don’t recall any discernible difference between their breakfast and lunch. Enjoyable but nothing like the others.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat salad with a pork pie. Stereotypically, the sort of person that eats pork pies isn't the sort of person that eats salad.
You're 100% right in general, but I think they're talking about the nice homemade pork pies that you get in fancier pubs and stuff. Same thing with the Scotch Eggs.
The Knickerbocker Glory contained ice cream, thick cream, fruit and meringue. The layer are alternated in that order and is drizzled on top with a raspberry coulis - and Never contains Wafers!
Those who get grossed out by eating anything with blood in it, the white pudding is available as well and if spiced nicely, is one of the tastiest sausage on this planet. Whenever I get a full English or Irish breakfast in the states, I always ask for the same amount of pudding in white.
@@Beedo_Sookcool But they are not the exact same thing, one is long and one is wide. One is made with a sausage and one is made with a beef patty. It’s not the same thing. Cottage and shepherds pies are the exact same thing but made with a different meat.
@@IslenoGutierrez You can make pies in any shape, too. My point still stands: you can't change the main ingredient and call it the same name, especially if there's already a dish by another name with those exact ingredients.
@@Beedo_Sookcool C’mon don’t be ignorant, both cottage and Shepard’s pies are the exact same shape. It’s literally the same dish both with a different meat.
Ex-pat now New Yorker, I often ask the natives to tell me their typical representative American food, 'hey what's classical American food?" ... for the most part they'd reveal a puzzled look and after a very pregnant pause mutter something about Burgers, Pizza or BBQ - LOL!
Why is this so weird to you? America is a country of immigrants. Whatever migrants that live here their food is incorporated into the food culture. Soul Food is strictly American if you need a start in American Cuisine.
@earlymusicus Oh No, No, No! Way too fishy for me! give me the good B&S any day! hahahaha. my mum loved kippers and kedgeree, or a sort of welsh version anyway! interestingly isn't it yet another dish from India originally?
07:43 “either way it doesn’t matter”!!! If it’s made of sponge then it’s a swiss-roll, made of suet dough, it’s a jam roly-poly. The roly-poly is usually served with custard as a desert, the swiss-roll as a cake with tea or coffee. It certainly does matter!!!
OMG! I never knew why the bacon was so good when I was there. I was there quite a long time ago, but remember the bacon being very tasty on those sandwiches. I loved it. I didn’t realize that it had come from a different part of the pig. Wish we would do that in the states. Yum, Yum
Thanks for this. British food is definitely not all bad! Try making toad in the hole at home.... its delicious and super easy, you just to have decent sausages.
I'm a Londoner living in the USA and it is nigh on impossible to find ANYTHING even remotely resembling British pork sausages. I so dearly miss Lincolnshire sausages.
@@michaelmullin3585 Those are delicious -- in fact, I haven't had any Cajun food that HASN'T been delicoius -- but it's just not the same. It's like if you're hungry for your grand-mère's boudin, but you get offered tasso. The tasso's still really good, but it's not the comfort food you were craving from your childhood, ya know?
Everyone knows the term 'cheese ploughman's' was invented in 1957 by the British Cheese Bureau to promote, er, cheese. I spent much of my childhood in the 1970s on a farm in Herefordshire helping out the farmer (ie: probably getting on his nerves). If his lunch had consisted of a bit of cheese, an apple and a slice of bread, he'd probably have wasted away within a month. Cheese ploughman's: nice pub lunch. Romantic history? I don't think so.
I Miss all that food from my home, surprised they didn't mention sausage rolls. There's nothing like a bacon sarnie, if you ask for something that simple in the states, they just don't understand the concept.
I'm of Cornish ancestry (5th generation!) and I love pasties! I've been to England/Ireland & Scotland - so I've grown to love cottage pie, full English (Irish or Scottish) breakfasts - including black pudding (yum yum 😋), bangers & mash, mushy peas, fish & chips, scones,.... I also cook many of these items at home!
I found the scottish square sausages most amusing, I tried to take the piss out of our scot bloke in work about it and he merely stated that the English were stupid for inventing round ones that roll about on the plate. Touchet Scotsman Touchet.
Any recipes you have included in UK foods which contain flavourings, will be herbs , with an "h" and not "erbs" the way many US residents pronounce it.
@D Anemon In England & Australia it's an English word & pronounced "herb". If it's a French word & Americans pronounce it right why can't they pronounce "tourniquet" correctly?
Love All of these. I love a chip butty. Love a fry up, a korma, a shepherds pie, a cottage pie, omg jam roll poly, can’t believe I forgot that. Similar to treacle sponge and custard. Can’t beat a ploughmans and a pork pie, oh and a scotch egg.. and my mums roast is the best. Bloody love my home. And even though I live in another country, all those meals are on my menus throughout the year.
@ Federic R. Lovely comment - amused me greatly. Actually, once you find enough nerve to try some, you may find them good. On the other hand, the very best eel I ever tasted was served in a bright green sauce in a very ' low end ' bar/bistro in Ostend about 65 years ago.
Well this is an argument between Devon and Cornwall both make wonderful clotted cream. Scones are also often eaten with butter and jam, so I would say cream fist as imagine trying to spread butter on jam! Regards.
We produce the best food in the world, bar none, forget the French and Italians, the Chinese and Indians also, we took what we liked and reshaped it to our tastes, best cuisine, curry sauce over a baked potato with a side of pork sausages, yum yum.
A pretty good effort, and you've covered most of the popular foods, although I'm surprised you didn't include sausage rolls. I live quite close to Liverpool, and have never heard of the scouse dish, nor have I heard of Stargazy pie. If you're going to include some of the more local specialities, then perhaps you should have included Bakewell Pudding or Tart (far more common than Eton Mess), Eccles Cakes and Lancashire Hotpot, all of which are pretty common throughout Britain.
Scouse is very regional I would say, I’m from the wirral but from a scouse family and we have it regularly, as do most scouse families. Travel just outside the city and they have pretty much the same dish but called different names, like “Lobby” If you go to Norway it’s called “Lobscouse”
I believe that Stargazey Pie was originally dreamed up by a chef in a pub in the small fishing village of Mousehole, Cornwall. It is now served in a few local pubs/restaurants, but is unknown outside that area.
Yay clap for British food 👏👏🏴👏👏🏴👏👏🏴👏👏🏴 thanks for not insulting us our food is great but it’s traditional to take the piss out of us but everyone loves our food ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My thought too. When I lived there most pubs might have just crisps if they had food. The ones that did serve food usually had meat pies, sandwiches, or maybe a ploughman’s lunch. Of course everything would have a side of beans. American style bacon was available too, but was called streaky bacon. The English bacon was middle or back bacon depending on the cut you chose. I wish restaurants in the US would do an English roast dinner. Those giant Yorkshire puddings with roast potatos and a beef or lamb roast.
British bacon sandwich is the bomb!!!! On brown bread please!!!! Bangers and mash is delicious! Cumberland sausage has a texture that takes a bit of getting used to but the flavor is very good! One of my faves is “bubble and squeak”. Cabbage and mashed potatoes.... so ridiculously comforting!!!
Rule No.1 Chips taste nothing like French Fries. Rule No.2 It's pronounced "her...bs" not "erbs". There's an 'effin "H" at the beginning of the word. Rule No.3 Never underestimate the power of a roast dinner. It's by far the best meal in the world, bar none.
I'm in Norfolk - I've had game pie, but never heard of scouse (the stew) Some of the dishes on this are universal across the UK, some of them are regional. (Stargazy pie is Cornwall/Devon)
The eel goes way beyond nasty. The English breakfasts are great and very filling. Down side is you become very vocal at the wrong end after you enjoyed it.
Why isn't a jam sandwich, hot drinks, meat and pot cheese and onion and steak pie on this list where is apple pie and sausage barms not on this list and where is a steaks and kidney pudding
An interesting thing about the "Ploughman's Lunch" is it was unheard of before the sixties, when the Milk Marketing Board promoted the idea as an initiative to sell more cheese in pubs, due to a surplus.
Why are you saying pasties owe their popularity to Greggs? it's the other way around. Pasties were around & widely loved LONG before Greggs was popular
A proper scotch egg is hard boiled the soft boiled scotch egg is very nice but it is something that has only come about popularity in the last decade or 2
Foie gras is now illegal to import into the UK on the basis of animal cruelty laws. French producers not happy, but that fact alone makes me very happy.
Trifle: When I was a child, I remember my parents ALWAYS made a trifle for after tea on Christmas Day, (though it was so large it often lasted for days after that.) They would always top off the cream by sprinkling crushed up Cadbury Flake chocolate on it. I remember one year, when I was about 9 years old, they'd forgotten to buy a flake to top the trifle, so my Dad cajoled me into giving up the one I'd received that morning in my 'selection box'. I finally gave in to his pleading, and due to his promise to replace it: "I'll get you another one tomorrow when the shops are open".
My kids loved it when we stopped a milk delivery man on the streets to buy bottles of milk. We'd been in Germany for about three years and did not have access to such milk.
Cottage pie is made out of beef, Shepard’s pie is different and is made out of lamb. Cottage pie is only made out of beef. This woman should do her research.
Eels should be cleaned with 3M scouring pads to sluff off the upper layer of skin, until the eel starts to look silvery before cooking. That way the slippery layer gets removed. They can be stir fried with garlic, shallots, chillies, basil, coriander leaves plus the coriander roots.

Steak & kidney pie is amazing. Luckily lamb kidneys are one of the few offal meats I can find where I live so I make it as often as I can. I make up enough filling to make one large family sized pie & 3 to 4 smaller individual ones & instead of beef steak I use kangaroo & I make them all using buttery, flaky puff pastry. So delicious. I can't believe more people don't eat offal meats, they're delicious & incredibly nutritious & not using everything possible is wasteful & disrespectful to the animal.
@@Lucifurion You should try making a traditional "Pudding" rather than a pie. I'm sure you can get hold of beef suet. It sounds like you're in Oz so I'm sure they sell it. A "Pudding" is on another level from a shortcrust or puff pastry pie. It has to be steamed though but it can be speeded up by making the filling first and steaming it with the cooked filling. A traditional "Steak and Kidney Pudding" would have all the ingredients uncooked ie the meat, kidneys, onions etc and steamed for a longer time. There's nothing like the taste and flavour of a "Pudding"!!!
You can also use sweet ingredients to make "Spotted Dick" or "Syrup Pudding" or "Jam Roly Poly" all which are Traditional English puddings and use beef suet pastry as their main ingredient and steamed in the same way. It's delicious!!!
Dont the good old ...the Sandwich...haha
@@alandillon968 Look again, I mentioned the Sandwich.
What about kidneys & bacon, liver & bacon, mussels,whelks,cockles, smoked haddock, cheese (& tomato) pie, corned beef, salmagundy etc etc?
Sorry all parts of the UK have there own regional recipe for Sausage and Black Scotland is quite renowned for its black pudding and Lorne sausage it makes an outstanding sandwich. In Scotland they eat potato scones with their breakfast also haggis. Also jam roly-poly has never been made with a sponge cake mix that would make it a Swiss roll. The best kipper you can get in my opinion are from the north of England Craster kippers from Northumberland are world-renowned. Yorkshire puddings extremely easy to make. It is equal quantities of milk, egg, pinch of salt and plain flour. You have got to have extremely hot fat beef dripping or goose fat is outstanding and a hot oven. Once the Yorkshire puddings are in the oven please dont open the oven door they will sink faster than your hopes and dreams.
Kippers....Arbroath smokies.
@@jixuscrixus1967 They are great I must admit I forgot all about them. .
@Sarah Rose It all depends on where you buy it from. A good butchers black pudding is amazing. I do agree some black pudding is horrible.
Been travelling south America for 3 years and damn I miss British food, chocolate, baked beans, full English, bangers and mash and Yorkshire tea like mad.
Yorkshire Tea is the proper thing, also Sainsbury's Red or Gold Label
I LOVE Marzipan! I can’t imagine anyone hating it!!
Me too. it is the taste of Christmas. after Jan 1st, you have to wait a whole year to have them again.
love me some marzipan, mr kipling battenberg is my go to
wife and i hate it.
I do happily sit on the couch and just eat marzipan
I have to admit I dislike it!
Shepherds Pie is NOT also known as Cottage Pie , Shepherds deal with sheep so it’s minced LAMB with onion gravy and shouldn’t have vegetables in, Cottage pie is beef with veg added
You should see what goes into a cottaging pie 😀
Is that the best you have?
Where's the crisp sandwich a staple in the UK.
Here in New Zealand I remember having marmite and chip (or crisps as you call them) sandwiches for lunch..... delicious!
University dorms.
If you want really good black pudding, come to Austria! And Marzipan is great. Marzipan covered with chocolate is a staple around Christmas in Austria. Also it is part of the famous Mozart-balls, whichever you try.
Cottage pie is made with minced beef. Shepherd's pie with minced lamb.
Traditionally it was lambs tails and the mash is there because they couldn't get all the wool off the tail
Now I'm hungry! :D
As an Austrian Anglophile I regularly make Cottage Pie and Leek & Bacon Pie. Proper pork pies are quite hard to make so I'd rather enjoy them in situ when I'm in the UK. Another staple I'd mention is Coronation Chicken - a very popular sandwich filling or served on its own with leafy salad.
Give a Bedfordshire clanger a go its like a sausage roll and a cornish pasty had a baby. Also apple turnover will send you to another dimension, pickled eggs in a salad can really elevate it or just sit with a jar and scran them all 😂
Cottage pie and shepherd’s pie are different cottage pie is made with beef mincemeat
And shepherds pie is made with lamb mincemeat
you tell 'em !
Lancashire Hotpot . Best end of ( lamb ) neck with slices of Bury black pudding on top .!
Not mincemeat - that is quite different, a concoction of dried fruit, suet and brandy! Mince, or minced meat, is what is used in cottage pie and shepherd's pie.
" mincemeat" means something else in British vernacular, a sweet dried fruit pastry filling. Minced - meat is called " mince".
@@snowflakemelter1172 and "mince" or "minced" means "ground" in America.
UK: Minced lamb/beef. US: Ground lamb/beef.
I don't get the marzipan hate - it's delicious
I don't like almonds because they're too dry. So I'm amazed that almonds can be converted into something so jam-packed with flavor. I order chocolate covered marzipan sweets from a local catalog for every Christmas.
BRAVO
I love marzipan. My mum get me marzipan fruits every year for Xmas. They're always welcome.
Black pudding!!!!!!
Yummy 😋
Lamb = Shepherds Pie, Beef = Cottage Pie
As a native of the England, this video is very amusing.
Isn’t it just? Lol

P.S. , I'm in El Paso Texas , and have looked all over within a hours drive just to have something close .
What Mash's take on a proper English breakfast is disrespectful , and i believe never actually looked at the meal !!!
Can't believe Banoffee pie wasn't on this list. Best British desert hands down!
I love bangers and mash, shepherd's pie, and fish and chips.
All great, and you just can't get them made right in the U.S.
Bangers and mash, very nice, as long as they are decent bangers and not rubbish ones, so meaty ones, not full of breadcrumbs.
Onion gravy is normally used for bangers and mash, but I do not like onion gravy, so normal beef gravy or Tomato ketchup for me.
@@ryanchant6861 Yeah, That is the problem with using phones to post, i will edit :)
We love sausages and mash for dinner!!
British savoury meals are some of World’s the most blandest, thus ATROCIOUS at best. Apparently the most popular British savoury meal is Fish & Chips, how can this be considering that straight out of the deep-fryer Fish & Chips taste of nothing but cooking oil?. It is utterly shocking how utterly CRAP British savoury meals taste, considering that the British had the privilege of having spent 200 years in India. Even the most basic Indian meal tastes infinitely superior to anything British. Lastly even dogs raised by Indians have a superior taste in food than vast majority of white people.
You can't beat proper 'chippy' fish and chips with plenty of salt and malt vinegar 😋😋😋
A dish brought over to this country by immigrant Russian Jews in the 19th century.
Onion vinegar from the pickled onions, and these should be served with the meal.
a dish from my country could easily beat that
Okg yeses it's so good
I didn't like malt vinegar when I was a kid but now it's integral for fish and chips
The Brits hands down have the best breakfasts on the planet. Germany is a close second with lots of jams…cheeses…breads…cold cuts and musceli cereal with yogurt. Yummy!
God bless ya ---- but I'll take a big ol mega yank breakfast any day.
Toast / jam -- pancake n maple syrup
breakfast sausage n bacon
hash browns or diced fried potatoes with pepper n onion
eggs of course - either an omelet ( cheese, peppers, shrooms, onion, tomato ), over easy on the pancakes or scrambled
fruit / melon
juice, water, coffee
Sorry -- baked beans, sliced tomato, blood pudding and those very strange appearing sausages just don't make a breakfast appealing.
baked beans are for cook outs n hot dogs - I'd prefer sliced peaches over tomato myself - blood pudding sounds gaggable.
Wow it's nice to disagree with someone in a silly way and not be called Ra --- ace --- its.
Japan and France are good too. British may win. German is okay. Austrian is a similar deal but better.
@@bubblebreak4160 Almost forgot. You’re right about France. Their breads alone have no equal. Not so sure about Japan. I don’t recall any discernible difference between their breakfast and lunch. Enjoyable but nothing like the others.
@TheEnglishRabbit Yup! Soaks up all that booze!
@@WNYXeb777 Strange appearing sausages lmao, they're real sausages with proper meat. I would take a full English over the American equivalent any day.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat salad with a pork pie. Stereotypically, the sort of person that eats pork pies isn't the sort of person that eats salad.
You're 100% right in general, but I think they're talking about the nice homemade pork pies that you get in fancier pubs and stuff. Same thing with the Scotch Eggs.
Rubbish. Pork pies and salads are on every buffet table
That’s complete rubbish and not true at all
I eat a pork pie with brown sauce. That’s it. I go eat salads too tho…
Pork pie only served with a dollop of heinze brown sauce to dip with not steak sauce not heinze 57 but brown sauce
Was enjoying it up to the point that Cottage and Shepards Pie were considered the the same.
Americans, do you ever get to taste lamb?
The Knickerbocker Glory contained ice cream, thick cream, fruit and meringue. The layer are alternated in that order and is drizzled on top with a raspberry coulis - and Never contains Wafers!
Always had 2 ice cream wafers in the top when I was a kid.
My favourite thing at Wimpy when my dad took me.
3:50 French fries does not translate to thick cut chips in america, thick cut chips are just thick cut chips
We call them steak fries.
Bakewell tart, Eccles cakes, lemon curd, cauliflower cheese, Branson pickle, Dundee cake
@ Colleen Orrick. You are very cruel and I'm drooling.
The way she said bangers and mash😂
It's not "also known" as a shepherd's pie. A shepherd's pie is made with lamb or mutton, a cottage pie with beef. :-)
Hurrki ajabahs jaha
Two points i thought Erbs was pronounced with a Herbs ,and a true Victoria sponge does not have cream in it just good quality Raspberry Jam.
Big respect for saying best full English found in a grubby cafe. Spot on
Can’t beat a grubby cafe! There’s a great one on Chapel Market in Islington.
I feel onion gravy should have been mentioned with the sausage and mash
And toad in a hole.
Those who get grossed out by eating anything with blood in it, the white pudding is available as well and if spiced nicely, is one of the tastiest sausage on this planet. Whenever I get a full English or Irish breakfast in the states, I always ask for the same amount of pudding in white.
If black pudding is made of congealed blood, then is white pudding made of congealed semen? 🤣
Shepherds pie is lamb
Cottage pie is beef
In Canada Shepherds pie is made mostly with beef
While I know it’s not correct, in the US I grew up with shepherds pie… Made with hamburger. Anyway, love it whether it’s shepherds pie or cottage pie
@@turboking7104 And they are wrong
@@georgecrompton8663 It's like putting a pork frankfurter in a bun and calling it a "hamburger," ain't it?
Cottage pie is not also knows as Shepherds pie. The two are different dishes. Cottage pie is made with beef, shepherds pie is made with lamb
Yes but it’s basically the same dish but with a different meat used, beef vs lamb.
@@IslenoGutierrez A hamburger and a hotdog are just some processed meat in some bread, but you wouldn't call those the same thing.
@@Beedo_Sookcool But they are not the exact same thing, one is long and one is wide. One is made with a sausage and one is made with a beef patty. It’s not the same thing. Cottage and shepherds pies are the exact same thing but made with a different meat.
@@IslenoGutierrez You can make pies in any shape, too. My point still stands: you can't change the main ingredient and call it the same name, especially if there's already a dish by another name with those exact ingredients.
@@Beedo_Sookcool C’mon don’t be ignorant, both cottage and Shepard’s pies are the exact same shape. It’s literally the same dish both with a different meat.
Ex-pat now New Yorker, I often ask the natives to tell me their typical representative American food, 'hey what's classical American food?" ... for the most part they'd reveal a puzzled look and after a very pregnant pause mutter something about Burgers, Pizza or BBQ - LOL!
I find it funny, but mostly because of your use of ex-pat. Too ashamed to say that you're an immigrant?
Why is this so weird to you? America is a country of immigrants. Whatever migrants that live here their food is incorporated into the food culture. Soul Food is strictly American if you need a start in American Cuisine.

That was also forgotten, read my comment
I will guess you come from the land of bland. I always lost weight on visits to UK simply due to the terrible food.
07:43 “either way it doesn’t matter”!!! If it’s made of sponge then it’s a swiss-roll, made of suet dough, it’s a jam roly-poly. The roly-poly is usually served with custard as a desert, the swiss-roll as a cake with tea or coffee. It certainly does matter!!!
Cottage pie is made with beef mince whereas Shepherds pie is made with minced lamb (or mutton) otherwise pretty much identical.
"Beef mince" and minced lamb, but not minced beef or lamb mince. Interesting.
OMG! I never knew why the bacon was so good when I was there. I was there quite a long time ago, but remember the bacon being very tasty on those sandwiches. I loved it. I didn’t realize that it had come from a different part of the pig. Wish we would do that in the states. Yum, Yum
nice an American who likes English bacon
Canadian bacon is very similar.
I wished they sold English bacon in the states.
I wish America was more like the uk with food. Yorkshire puddings look like a serious game changer and it's just fry bread with gravy
@@hearttoheart4me they do, just look for Canadian bacon. That's what y'all call it there
Ploughman's lunch was an invention of the Milk Marketing Board, nothing to do with tradition. Sorry if anyone else has already pointed this out.🙂
There are still extensive evidence to show that the foods which consistute a Ploughmans luncheon were eaten in the same manner as early as the 1300s.
Thanks for this. British food is definitely not all bad!
Try making toad in the hole at home.... its delicious and super easy, you just to have decent sausages.

Everyone knows the term 'cheese ploughman's' was invented in 1957 by the British Cheese Bureau to promote, er, cheese. I spent much of my childhood in the 1970s on a farm in Herefordshire helping out the farmer (ie: probably getting on his nerves). If his lunch had consisted of a bit of cheese, an apple and a slice of bread, he'd probably have wasted away within a month. Cheese ploughman's: nice pub lunch. Romantic history? I don't think so.

I'm of Cornish ancestry (5th generation!) and I love pasties! I've been to England/Ireland & Scotland - so I've grown to love cottage pie, full English (Irish or Scottish) breakfasts - including black pudding (yum yum 😋), bangers & mash, mushy peas, fish & chips, scones,.... I also cook many of these items at home!
Ain't you special!
I found the scottish square sausages most amusing, I tried to take the piss out of our scot bloke in work about it and he merely stated that the English were stupid for inventing round ones that roll about on the plate. Touchet Scotsman Touchet.
@Jim Carner thankyou Jim, everyday is a school day.
Any recipes you have included in UK foods which contain flavourings, will be herbs , with an "h" and not "erbs" the way many US residents pronounce it.
Herb is a mans name, erb is a flavoring.
@D Anemon
In England & Australia it's an English word & pronounced "herb". If it's a French word & Americans pronounce it right why can't they pronounce "tourniquet" correctly?
Love
All of these. I love a chip butty. Love a fry up, a korma, a shepherds pie, a cottage pie, omg jam roll poly, can’t believe I forgot that. Similar to treacle sponge and custard. Can’t beat a ploughmans and a pork pie, oh and a scotch egg.. and my mums roast is the best. Bloody love my home. And even though I live in another country, all those meals are on my menus throughout the year.
Half off the meals u said there I don't even no what it is lol maybe cuz I'm Irish lol
even the jellied eels?
I was planning on trying a couple of them after I died. Glad you told me otherwise
I hear there's a 10% discount if you get in early...
If you believe in reincarnation, you may have the chance to do both. 😉
@ Federic R. Lovely comment - amused me greatly. Actually, once you find enough nerve to try some, you may find them good. On the other hand, the very best eel I ever tasted was served in a bright green sauce in a very ' low end ' bar/bistro in Ostend about 65 years ago.
Wow, amazing food it look so yummy
For the Scones another contention is do you spread the Jam or Cream first.
Cream first definitely. If you put the jam first you can’t spread the cream whereas the jam is a lot easier to spread on top of cream.
Putting cream on first is a crime still punishable by death in the UK! Also putting cream on last means you can pile it high 😋
@@stefanmir1158 no no no! You spread the jam on the scone and dollop the cream on top! That’s the Cornish way, or should I say the right way 😃
Well this is an argument between Devon and Cornwall both make wonderful clotted cream.

A pretty good effort, and you've covered most of the popular foods, although I'm surprised you didn't include sausage rolls. I live quite close to Liverpool, and have never heard of the scouse dish, nor have I heard of Stargazy pie. If you're going to include some of the more local specialities, then perhaps you should have included Bakewell Pudding or Tart (far more common than Eton Mess), Eccles Cakes and Lancashire Hotpot, all of which are pretty common throughout Britain.
Scouse is very regional I would say, I’m from the wirral but from a scouse family and we have it regularly, as do most scouse families.
Travel just outside the city and they have pretty much the same dish but called different names, like “Lobby”
If you go to Norway it’s called “Lobscouse”
My ex & our family were in Harrogate & Welbourn for 4 years. I truly miss the delicious Sausage Rolls! The American sausage just doesn’t compare. 🥺😋🥺
I believe that Stargazey Pie was originally dreamed up by a chef in a pub in the small fishing village of Mousehole, Cornwall. It is now served in a few local pubs/restaurants, but is unknown outside that area.

Never have I seen a pub serving Beef Wellington, and I've been to a few in my time.
My thought too. When I lived there most pubs might have just crisps if they had food. The ones that did serve food usually had meat pies, sandwiches, or maybe a ploughman’s lunch. Of course everything would have a side of beans. American style bacon was available too, but was called streaky bacon. The English bacon was middle or back bacon depending on the cut you chose. I wish restaurants in the US would do an English roast dinner. Those giant Yorkshire puddings with roast potatos and a beef or lamb roast.
My local pub did a Beef Wellington, was a bit of an old style village pub though.
It's too expensive for the average pub menu with fillet beef
its quite common in country pubs in and around the west midlands
British bacon sandwich is the bomb!!!! On brown bread please!!!! Bangers and mash is delicious! Cumberland sausage has a texture that takes a bit of getting used to but the flavor is very good! One of my faves is “bubble and squeak”. Cabbage and mashed potatoes.... so ridiculously comforting!!!
@Jim Carner I like British brown bread better than their white or wheat.
Rule No.1 Chips taste nothing like French Fries.
Rule No.2 It's pronounced "her...bs" not "erbs". There's an 'effin "H" at the beginning of the word.
Rule No.3 Never underestimate the power of a roast dinner. It's by far the best meal in the world, bar none.
If it is a proper Prime Rib roast, otherwise its just meat ;)
My favorite British foods are: Cottage Pie, Beef Wellington & Shepherd's Pie. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Mate, Game Pie! Are you having a laugh 🤣🤣🤣 I mean I'm Scouse so that may be why but I have never had Game Pie
I'm in Norfolk - I've had game pie, but never heard of scouse (the stew)
Some of the dishes on this are universal across the UK, some of them are regional. (Stargazy pie is Cornwall/Devon)
Toad in the hole is much easier to find than a scotch egg with a soft yolk, and cottage pie is made with beef mince, shepherds pie is lamb.
A pitty you missed the sausage roll...
But thank you
I agree. Sausage rolls need to be on the list.
Yep bacon sandwich is a big go too if late for work. Love it
Well researched ! you seem to have covered British food fairly here.
Bangers and mash are my total comfort food. Also love dearly the Scotch eggs with the sausage coating. SOOOOO good!!
Shepherds pie and cottage pie are different, shepherds pie contains lamb and cottage pie contains beef
so many more favourites to try like bakewell tart, sausage rolls, summer pudding, steam pudding and many many more!!!
I'm from London and I find jellied eels to be foul. Kippers, however are beautiful. I live overseas and it's the one food I miss.
The eel goes way beyond nasty. The English breakfasts are great and very filling. Down side is you become very vocal at the wrong end after you enjoyed it.
Chicken tikka masala is as British as the Kohinoor Diamond!
I just love these satirical videos!
Bangers and mash w gravy is my sweet spot 👌🤌
Why isn't a jam sandwich, hot drinks, meat and pot cheese and onion and steak pie on this list where is apple pie and sausage barms not on this list and where is a steaks and kidney pudding

That's delicious
They may all have disappeared down the same way as your grasp of punctuation.
An interesting thing about the "Ploughman's Lunch" is it was unheard of before the sixties, when the Milk Marketing Board promoted the idea as an initiative to sell more cheese in pubs, due to a surplus.
Why are you saying pasties owe their popularity to Greggs? it's the other way around. Pasties were around & widely loved LONG before Greggs was popular
A proper scotch egg is hard boiled the soft boiled scotch egg is very nice but it is something that has only come about popularity in the last decade or 2

Trifle: When I was a child, I remember my parents ALWAYS made a trifle for after tea on Christmas Day, (though it was so large it often lasted for days after that.) They would always top off the cream by sprinkling crushed up Cadbury Flake chocolate on it. I remember one year, when I was about 9 years old, they'd forgotten to buy a flake to top the trifle, so my Dad cajoled me into giving up the one I'd received that morning in my 'selection box'. I finally gave in to his pleading, and due to his promise to replace it: "I'll get you another one tomorrow when the shops are open".
My kids loved it when we stopped a milk delivery man on the streets to buy bottles of milk. We'd been in Germany for about three years and did not have access to such milk.
Pork pie with English mustard yum yum .
Cottage pie is made out of beef, Shepard’s pie is different and is made out of lamb. Cottage pie is only made out of beef. This woman should do her research.
Eels should be cleaned with 3M scouring pads to sluff off the upper layer of skin, until the eel starts to look silvery before cooking. That way the slippery layer gets removed.
They can be stir fried with garlic, shallots, chillies, basil, coriander leaves plus the coriander roots.
