what dishes are these?!

English Cuisine

The traditional food of England has long been recognised for its simplicity of ingredients

and flavour. However, England has a complex history and has featured as a major global

player. This has meant that people from all over the world have settled in this country,

bringing with them flavours and techniques.

Over time, these foreign influences have permeated English cuisine, creating a more

multifaceted food culture than ever before. During the 16th and 17th centuries, English

Protestants formed a group called the Puritans. These ones were averse to strong flavours

and bold ingredients (such as garlic) as these had Catholic Continental political references.

Then, after World War II, England saw the influx of other cultures and

nationalities (North Americans, Indians and Chinese) they introduced the

locals to garlic, chilli, exotic sauces and much more. Traditionally,

English food uses lamb, beef, pork, chicken and fish as its feature items.

The meat is then accompanied by potatoes (in various forms) and/or

vegetables.
