Traditional+Food+of+England

There are many different kinds of traditional foods in London. Some common traditional foods are roast beef, fish and chips, and many kinds of pudding. They also have very odd foods like toad-in-the-hole and bubble and squeak. A very common food in England is fish and chips. Generally, its fried potatoes and fish fried in flour batter. You could use cod, haddock, huss, or plaice fish. This is their traditional “to-go” dish. Fish and chips are not normally a home-cooked meal which is why it is so popular.

Bubble and Squeak is typically made from cold, leftover vegetables. The main ingredients are potatoes, cabbage, and many kinds of vegetables. In order to make it, you take cold vegetables (and cold, chopped meat if wanted) and fry them in a pan until they are soft and well-cooked. The name Bubble and Squeak came from the sounds made during the process of cooking.

Another very odd but popular food is Toad-in-the-hole. It is similar to another traditional English dish called Yorkshire Pudding.Yorkshire pudding is what they call a batter pudding, which is nothing like what we think of as pudding in America - it's more like a roll or a biscuit, served with beef and gravy on top it. The Toad in the Hole is similar, except for toad-in-the-hole, you put sausage in the batter before roasting. It is normally served with vegetables and onion gravy.
