Food and Drink of the United Kingdom

Food

The English gastronomical tradition has always been ridiculed for their European neighbours, but it is possible to find many and varied meals in the different regions that go beyond the fish and chips. That is the case of the Lincolnshire’s sausages and Cornualles’s pasty , stuffed with meat and potatoes. In Melton Mowbray it is recommended to taste the pig meat pies, as well as Yorkshire’s roast beef and pudding. Cornualles has the best seafood, and the most famous cheeses are processed in Silton.

Drink

 England is the puddings homeland: spotted dick (pudding with raisins and currants), plum duff (coiled plums) and syllabub (medieval style dish made with cream, white wine and lemon juice). The English cream tea is served in all the tea-rooms, mainly in the southern coast.

The drinking world of England have a reputation on two drinks: beer and whiskey. The more popular beer is the bitter -without bubbles, dark and served at room temperature-, although the lager (gilded and light) is gaining more and more adepts. The whiskey is a very popular drink, being the best those of Scotland and Ireland.
