typical British cuisine

This but with a cheese board as well.

Black pudding yes, scotch egg made with black pudding too
Haggis as others have said
Suet puddings, sweet or savoury
Steak and kidney
Woolton pie (not sure of the spelling)

How about a salmon wellington? Use the hairy bikers salmon in pastry recipe on bbc website, it’s really tasty, made it last week. Not difficult but you need to be organised and I tweaked it too to suit ingredients that needed eating up.

another thought was pork and leeks in cider and cream with mash with black pudding running through to honour where you are

glass of orange juice to start.
Toad in the hole for main.
trifle for pudding.

my DRM is tartiflette with Ben and jerrys cherry Garcia after

Mini Welsh rarebit or seafood such as mussels for starter
Lancashire hotpot with seasonal veg
Blackberry and apple crumble with custard or clotted cream.

I've just come back from picking blackberries. They're in season right now!

Which lumped altogether is British cuisine

OP, you've had some suggestions already, but I would focus on traditional dishes that we really dont see anymore or only in certain regions now

So stotties, bara brith, cheese and fruit cake, cullen skink, potted shrimp, lobscouse, panhaggity, turf cakes, eccles cakes, lardy cake, rarebit, kippers, hull patty, pie and mash

the list is endless

..oh. And Northern Ireland isn't part of Britain. It's part of the UK.

Well in that case that's no 'Indian' cuisine as there are huge differences between the different regions of India.

Your interpretation of British can be whatever you want it to be.

No need to get so semantic about a light hearted post about cooking a British dish.

Maybe just say what dish you would cook?

chilled potato and leek soup finely blended
poached salmon new potatoes green beans salad
strawberries lemon posset and shortbread

@LadyMonicaBaddingham I thought this was north east ? I make this in winter using hairy bikers recipe ( has bacon in it) - totally love it !! Very Cheap and pretty healthy too

As it says....make stuffing with fresh white or brown breadcrumbs, (not the dried stuff you buy in packets) finely shredded onion, shallot or leek, grated lemon zest, lots of finely chopped fresh parsley and a little bit of finely chopped sage. Season with salt and pepper. Mix all together with a little butter and enough lemon juice to hold it all together. Wipe out inside iof duck thoroughly with paper towel, stuff loosely with stuffing, then roast duck as usual until the skin is crisp and brown and a skewer in the leg joint produces clear juice, not blood. Any spare stuffing can be roasted as stuffing balls, or wrapped in bacon and cooked to make bacon rolls to eat with the duck. Sorry no amounts, I make it up as I go usually.

Yes, exactly what I said 😀

I’d start with a seasonal soup

Followed by a summer lamb dish - either roast with new potatoes and garden peas or Cutlets and the same
alternatively Scottish salmon

Finish with gooseberry or rhubarb crumble and clotted cream

Pan Haggerty is a great dish from Lancashire, you could serve that with a salad rather than doing hotpot?

@Comedycook that’s probably what I would do

”Britain” is just a casual term so could mean GB or UK. It is not a geographically or politically correct term.
Whilst they are British citizens NI is not part of GB. It is part of the UK.
The British Isles includes even Ireland a so that really would widen the blanket.

This is all why I said technically. It’s factually accurate (currently). Sorry to be a pedant!

If you're doing Beef Wellington I'd probably do individual ones in case different people want them cooked differently.

A fish plate with smoked salmon, prawns, crab and some homemade breads
Beef Wellington or a chicken and tarragon pie
Homemade trifle or lemon posset

Death row meal
Pretty close to the above, but with clotted cream and a massive cheeseboard. I'm lactose intolerant, but could enjoy this in the circumstances. Bring on the Stilton!

I totally second the slow cooked lamb shoulder shepherd's pie. I had it once and it was glorious.

Starter do the local seafood because that is generally lighter.

Dessert eton mess which is also lighter.

Scottish smoked salmon mousse
Dover Sole, jersey royals, watercress sauce
Strawberries and cream for pudding

You’d have to chef it up a bit I guess but I think that would be a lovely summer British menu. Or look at past food from that ‘Great British Menu’ that used to be on.

Starter: Ham Hock with a type of chutney
Or prawn cocktail or a soup
Main: individual pies - steak and ale maybe, with mash, peas and gravy
Or toad in the hole
Or a beef stew with dumplings
Desert: Apple crumble and custard
Or sticky toffee pudding
Or Angel delight!

Tough one! For one, British food is not particularly summery… My favourite winter combo would be:

S: Pumpkin soup or smoked salmon blinis
M: Beef Wellington
D: Sticky toffee pudding

Ooh, death row meal...

Oysters Mignonette
Roast breast of lamb with Chinese pancakes, hoisin sauce, cucumber and spring onions
Cheese and apples

NI isn't part of Great Britain. But NI citizens are British citizens. There is Britain, Great Britain, and the British Isles - all different! We love to make life easy...

But regardless, OP, your regional menu sounds lovely. You could also try googling 'forgotten' dishes from your area and giving them a modern spin.

Welsh, rather than 'British'

Cockle 'popcorn' with laverbread mayonnaise.
Roast breast of lamb with 'stwmp naw rhiw (lovely mashed vegetables)
Toasted bara brith with ice-cream
