What would you vote for as Britian’s best dish?

[Frosty6611]

Mine would be fish and chips (really good ones with perfectly crisp batter, salt and vinegar chips and a beautiful coastal view to enjoy them by)

Chips, mushy peas and gravy !!!!

Chippy tea or a roast dinner.

Fish and chips or Cumberland sausage and mash.

Pudding- apple crumble

For me it'd be giant toad in the hole, good sausages, bubble and squeak with bacon and mushroom gravy.

Monday leftovers.

Shepherds pie. It's our version of Mousaka or lasagne.

Sunday dinner

@illhavealargeglassofred I stand corrected!
Even more my fave now as I love Glasgow .

Hmm ... roast dinner in a giant Yorkshire, or a steak pie, or a ploughman's or tikka masala, or corned beef hash

Oooh or coronation chicken

Or jacket with cheese and beans

Shepherds pie is the one thing that as an adult I will never ever eat again- vile

For pudding it'd be rhubarb crumble with nuts and double cream.

on the subject of jacket potato - yes to cheese, no to beans.

" jacket with cheese and beans"

honestly if that the 'best' of British cuisine, it is no wonder that other nationalities laugh at us and our food.

Scottish breakfast should include haggis.

@FourFriedChickensDryWhiteToast it's not the best I just really do love a jacket with cheese and beans. I couldn't pick and got carried away thinking about all the food I want right now 😂

Roast dinner or chicken pie

...oh well.. fair enough..

Forgot my fav roast which is leg of lamb in season. It's amazing. Nothing like it anywhere else in the world.

See I don't get that attitude at all. A lovely fluffy jacket spud, crispy skin, knob of butter, baked beans with some delicious melted cheddar on top. What's laughable about that?

How is that any worse of dough rolled out with some pureed tomato and cheese on top (Italian pizza), or a baked boxed cheese with some dry crusty bread (French snack) and so on. My brother lives in Germany and one of his favourite lunches is fried potatoes and bacon, (Bratkartoffeln) which is a common staple over there.

All cuisines have their basics - not every French or Italian person is conjuring up complex meals for lunch etc.

As things go there's not much wrong with a tasty jacket spud with a nice topping. Maybe not 'Britain's Best Dish' but perfectly acceptable nonetheless and certainly not 'laughable' surely?

I once taught a Sicilian man to make a baked potato. He'd eaten one (and he cooked like a charm, so in no way clueless) but couldn't fathom the simple idea of flinging a spud in the oven.

lamb Wellington! Or for basic fare - Ham, Egg & Chips (yum). That and good beer!

Fish and chips is another thing to thank Jewish immigrants for. It is not an ancient English dish.

Roast leg of Welsh Lamb and rosemary gravy
Apple pie or crumble

Full English with white sliced and a mug of tea.
Sunday roast with Yorkshire puds and cauliflower cheese.
Proper Geordie cheese savoury stotties or alternatively ham and pease pudding as a filling.

I do enjoy fine dining and can be a bit of a ponce in the kitchen but these 3 foods bring me more joy than anything else.

Jacket potatoes with cheese and beans - also food of the gods.
