C IS FOR CUISINE
C IS FOR CUISINE ![]() Above is not me half-naked in the nudist restaurant, Innato, when I last visited Spain! Diners are encouraged to strip off and eat food off the bodies of model waiters and waitresses. Here in England, our cuisine, though improved over the years, does not have a great reputation internationally. The French, the Greeks, the Italians and the Spanish, but not the Germans, all claim to have a better cuisine than the English. English cuisine has a reputation for being stodgy. Traditional English dishes are fried breakfasts (bacon, sausages and fried eggs), Sunday roasts (roast beef, chicken, lamb or pork with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, carrots and peas, all lashed with gravy), fish and chips (mainly haddock now that cod stocks are running low), shepherds pie (made with lamb mince) or cottage pie (made with beef mince), and desserts served with custard (such as apple pie, jam roly-poly, rhubarb crumble, sticky toffee pudding, and syrup sponge pudding). Our cuisine has changed and improved significantly over the last forty years with the increasing influence of American, Belgian, Brazilian, French, Greek, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Portuguese, Scandinavian, Spanish and Thai cuisines. This is one big upside of both immigration and globalisation. What are your views on English food? What dishes are part of your local cuisine? What is your favourite local dish? In Nottingham where I live, there is a peculiar dish of mushy peas served with mint sauce. I have never come across this dish anywhere else; the dish is delicious. I often go to the local market and eat a dish at the mushy pea stall. If you were to visit me for a meal in Nottingham, I would serve up mushy peas with mint sauce for starters, a roast beef dinner and a syrup sponge pudding for afters, all washed down by a pint of best bitter - see below. I hope you will join me! Mushy peas with mint sauce: ![]() Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower cheese with gravy: ![]() Syrup sponge pudding with custard: ![]() Sir Peter Mansfield Best Bitter: ![]() |

A bitter is a type of pale ale. Bitter is darker and heavier than pale ale and lager. Before the invasion of lager, it was a very popular tipple served in English pubs. Sir Peter Mansfield won a Nobel Prize for his research on magnetic resonance imaging (MR ![]() ![]()

What are your views on English food? I mean, you're not going to convince me to eat blood pudding, but I love roast chicken with roasties and carrots. I love peas, but do prefer them not to be mushy. And, cottage pie is frequently on my menu. What dishes are part of your local cuisine? We're a hodge podge of food because Orlando is so tourist forward. There is a high concentration of Carribean Food here, but I'm not the biggest fan. I have tried it. Some of the ones I do like are a roast pork dish and cuban sandwiches. What is your favourite local dish? Beneen...which is roast pork This week's HNW: Pink/Hearts (Or Chocolate) is available on the other side.

I've heard of the wait staff as serving plates before, and kind of like it! (Think I even did a post about it some years ago.) What are your views on English food? - Sounds somewhat like ours. Have been joking of late that with the price increases for beef, it might be time to try some lamb, which I've never had. What dishes are part of your local cuisine? - Barbeque is big around here of course, but with the influx of Vietnamese "boat people" a generation ago, that is big too now. What is your favourite local dish? - My uuuuhhhummm "favorite" is smoked prime rib. Happy HNW. Starting with the Letters C or D, on HNW.

I'm not sure I would want to take my food off a penis platter but being naked while eating sure would save on the stains I get as foods drip onto my shirt. I would try your mushy peas - as a reluctant politeness but totally pass on the beer. The roast looks great! IMO I think steak and baked potato, served with warm bread, a tossed salad, and some sort of roasted vegetable qualifies as truly American. Hot pie and ice cream for dessert. There are a lot of locally produced beers in my town (we're known as Beer City USA) or perhaps a nice hard cider. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

What are your views on English food? My son-in-law is an excellent cook. When I was just there, he made a Sunday Roast, Pork with roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings and baby broccoli, just as in your photo. He made a yummy cottage pie, the kids wouldn't touch it, and had to be persuaded. Vi was first to give it a go and loved it, Rowan took more convincing, but he succumbed to hunger and finally had some and loved it. I think everyone had seconds. Dylan was harder to convince and exasperated, he put his head down on the table, between his crossed arms. When it was nearly gone, Amanda said if he doesn't try some before it's gone, he'll cry. There was just a little bit left and he peeped one eye out to check what he was about to miss out on and finally gave in; he loved it too. Kids... You can keep the mushy peas, they serve them with fish and chips at the chippy. I think they're weird. What dishes are part of your local cuisine? Growing up, my relatives were Polish, Ukrainian, Austrian and Pennsylvania Dutch, so perogies (boiled dumpling filled with mash potatoes or sauerkraut, dipped in melted butter when boiled, the first serving, after that, they'd be fried in butter and served with sour cream, perogies (cabbage rolls stuffed with ground beef and rice), Chicken potpie (chicken stew, with home made noodles and veg), scrapple with apple butter (meat trimmings baked in a loaf), pickled tripe (I can't believe I ate that, cows stomach I think), pickled red beets and red beet eggs (eggs are pickled in the beet juice), corn pie (whole kernel corn, cream corn, onions, hard boiled eggs sliced and Cope's Corn (dried and toasted corn it's usually available around thanksgiving, it's baked with milk or cream), kiffles (dough is cut into diamond shapes, filled with ground nuts, poppy seeds or apricot preserves, two corners are folded over top and baked in then they coated in powdered sugar) and nutroll is another holiday dessert (the dough is spread with ground walnuts or poppy seed filling and rolled into a loaf and baked). What is your favourite local dish? I don't know that I have a very favorite dish, maybe corn pie because I hardly get it, I love potpie too, in the south they call it chicken and dumplings (the dough is rolled flat and cut into squares and added to the boiling soup).

This was quite interesting as I didn't know they have Restaurants where you could be naked and enjoy a meal. What are your views on English food? I haven't tried many so I really have no idea what it would be. What dishes are part of your local cuisine? We hsve all kinds of different cuisines here, and there are so many that I enjoy. What is your favourite local dish? My favorite local dish would have to be Cheese Enchiladas, with rice and beans. Or Egg Fried Rice. Thanks for sharing such an interesting read with us today. I sure hope your enjoying a Happy Hump Day.. ![]()

Mushy peas are an add on served with fish and chips at Joey's here. When I make fish and chips we like the pricier Halibut! I have made dishes from several ethnic cultures! When we have Yorkshire pudding, we fill it with gravy! I thought you would mention your "bangers and mash"

What?? No hot dogs or hamburgers, steak and potatoes, apple pie and Ice-cream? How is one to live on that stuff.. My favorite dish is 5'6', she has long black hair, served rare. Just cant beat a good ol' southern feast!! Locally here one can dine on any cuisine that is desired, Just so much available and all is open for business Never been across the pond to the east so , I can't say about English food. I have been south Central America and South America, .. Now these people know how to spice up food, But when they try to bring it up here it get's Americanized that is, It loses it's quality.. Stop by at lonlyforlove2 also see Lunch with Lonly , we get snow tomorrow Check my blog on New Community, "A photo of my big Pecker" also, " My Sunday afternoon with the kids'

What are your views on English food? Some I love. Some I don't understand, hehehe. What dishes are part of your local cuisine? Locally there is a lot of barbecue. Each is a little different. forget the chains, eat local. We also have a lot of Mexican restaurants that are local but that's the cuisine of Mexico ![]() What is your favourite local dish? I love barbecue. I love the steaks served at some of the barbecue joints.

We have a Pub here that serves mushy peas along with bangers and mash. I miss my Mom's Yorkshire pudding she would make every Sunday with roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy. I have a British Shop down the street which just opened up. I have not gone in yet to explore what types of British cuisine they have to offer.. xoxo

A cuban sandwich is a ham, pork roast, pickles, and cheese sandwich on cuban bread. Cuban bread is slightly sweet and soft. It is then grilled and squished to make the cheese melty and easier to eat. This week's HNW: Pink/Hearts (Or Chocolate) is available on the other side.

I don't think we do corn pie here but I hope you've had some since your return from rainy Wales. You missed a big storm! ![]() I know it doesn't look like much, but it is delicious. People either seem to love it or hate it. People make it different ways, I like it with a little bit of onion and no potatoes, others make it with potato but leave out the onion. I haven't had it in years and I won't be baking anything. I don't even have flour in the house. My sister may make me one when I come for a visit. Are you alright?

I'd eat corn pie, though I may add chicken to the dish. But then again, if I did that it wouldn't be corn pie! ![]()

Yes, I 've heard, two of them, Dudley and Eunice. I'm so glad to be home. I think it's their turn to come visit me. I was so sick the day I left; I couldn't eat for two days and I didn't think I'd make the train. My daughter gave me a plastic bag in case I was sick on the 3.5 hour train ride to BHX. I stayed at the Ibis at the airport overnight to make an early flight home, it took 18.5 hours from the first airport to my place. That trip was the worst one I've ever had in all of 19 years of traveling there. I know it doesn't look like much, but it is delicious. People either seem to love it or hate it. People make it different ways, I like it with a little bit of onion and no potatoes, others make it with potato but leave out the onion. I haven't had it in years and I won't be baking anything.

"C IS FOR CUISINE" You were doing fine until you got to those damn Mushy Peas! I do enjoy a good mint sauce or jam, but usually with my lamb. The roast beef, carrots, Yorkshire Pudding is nice, but more like a puff pastry. Nice and brown on the outside, but all hollow once cracked open. I do miss my lamb with mint, roasted potatoes and carrots. I also miss the proper English breakfast, even with the so called baked beans and fried bread. I have tasted the black pudding in a few different countries and perty much the same taste all over. Have spent quite some time in Northern Wales, up near Bangor and LLamberris with a friend of mine. I have another friend near Lizard Lick UK. This pie would make a nice meal, especially with a IPA pint to wash it down. What I never got use to though was the sweet corn and tuna fish added to the pizza when I was living in Leeds for 7 months or so.
