Ever eaten pot roast? That's British food. Ever eaten a roast potato? That's British food. Ever eaten cheese, mushrooms, roast beef or rabbit? Those are all British foods.
British food, properly done (i.e., not the result of WWII rationing or Victorian institutionalisation) is savoury and earthy: roasts, onions, cheeses, mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, turnips. It is hearty and filling, and goes well with the native ale. It's delicious.
Don't knock what you haven't had.
- epimetheus 10y ago>Ever eaten pot roast? That's British. Not according to Wikipedia, which states: "Pot roast is an American variation of the French dish boeuf à la mode, modified by influences from German and Jewish immigrants." Roast Potatoes? Also American (not necessarily US though), you didn't have Potatoes until you came to the Americas. Cheese, mushrooms, and rabbit? How are these British? Did you invent them? Hey, we eat pasta here in the US, must be US national cuisine...
