Been having a think about proper English food and drink, none of this foreign muck.
Can’t go wrong with a bit of boiled beef stew, the less flavour the better, and a big mug of Bovril. Ox tongue also has to be up there in the top five most Brexit foods you can buy, along with Pukka pies and mushy peas. Black pudding also screams ‘take back control of our borders’.
Who needs ‘pasta’ and any of this continental rubbish when you can have proper British meals? |  | | |  |

FFS, I was raised in an Instant Whip house, and had no idea until now that it was a lower class version of Angel Delight. Next up someone will post that Tip Top was for chavs. |
Tip Top is like Ye Olde Ham, completely beyond all class structure |  | | |

Mates often tell me that I obviously haven't been to a good chippy but how many do you have to try? |
You definitely need a nice crispy batter on the fish. Soggy batter is horrible.
Most good restaurants cook it well. For chipy, you could try galton Blackistons place in Cromer. No1?
But i dont honestly expect everyone to love fish and chips!
I voted remain but hate Garlic. Thats sounds a bit brexierr to me. [Post edited 17 Aug 2023 21:02]

Ah, but which garlic? There are loads of varieties and many are miles better than the small white variety we commonly get in supermarkets in the UK. Some of the purple garlic is fantastic, sliced raw and served with large Marmande tomatoes (the bobbly type common in France), with a balsamic and olive oil dressing. Mmmm. Although that sounds a bit European. |  |

Far too continental that. |  |

For me, it’s like consuming BO.
I’m ok with it as a back ground thing like in curry. But anything Garlic…..(bread etc)….is not my thing. Stuff swimming in garlic butter…..and the smell.
Marks and spenders ready meals are plagued with it.
Onions are good though. | |

Fried fish did indeed come to the UK from Portuguese Sephardic Jews who fled the Inquisition in the 16th century. But the first pairing of fried fish and chips, a term for fried potatoes first used by Charles Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities, was by an Ashkenazi Jew named Joseph Malin, who opened the first British chippy, aka fish and chip shop, in London in 1863. The shop was so successful it remained in business until the 1970s. |
I remember back in the 1980s eating with a Jewish friend in Bloom's, the well-known kosher restaurant in Whitechapel High Street.
Sadly it no longer exists.
And working with a number of Jewish people over the years I discovered-
a) that strictly observant Jews would not eat in a kosher restaurant because they could not be sure all rules had been followed,
b) that Pringles are kosher. [Post edited 17 Aug 2023 22:13]

Why stop at a meal? Plan your whole day around the Brexit table.
Breakfast had to be kippers - remember BJ’s fishy lies about them
Lunch - I’d start with a dozen oysters, no longer exportable - and a nice piece of horse meat - notice that those large numbers of nags in Kent and by the M25 have disappeared. Pud - English apple pie and custard. You just can’t beat a Bromley - it’s world leading
Pre dinner drink with Nige at a Wetherspoon
Dinner - bangers and mash - made from the rubbery old pig meat we used to send to Germany - followed by trifle
A late night snifter of sherry watching something pre-1973 on tele - Alf Garnett or the black and white minstrel show perhaps. |  |

For a supposed ‘lefty’ Harry spends a puzzling amount of time disparaging, and sneering at the working class. |
Champagne Socialist comes to mind. |  | | |

Sugar sandwich |
I witnessed someone making an eating a banana sandwich the other day. How to know someone is a bit basic.
Back to the OP, roast dinners are perhaps the most overrated meal in existence and I don't understand why so many people treat and big up a weekly 'Sunday roast' like some sort of gift from the gods. |  |

You’re missing out on one of life’s little pleasures then. Especially if you can find a pub that combines a good Sunday roast with a decent pint. | |

I remember banana sandwiches from my childhood. From what I can recall, I sprinkled a little sugar on them. | | | |

I've yet to find a pub that does a good Sunday roast.
How they always manage to make potatoes a soggy mess I'll never know. |  |

My suspicions have been confirmed. You are a total wrong un. |  |

You obviously had an affluent upbringing. Angel delight!!!....we had Instant Whip in our house. |
House! You were lucky - we lived in a shoe box and the only whip we saw was every night when dad got back from the pub |  | | |

Good God man. You believe this? Several British families going out for meals clutching bottles of brown and red sauce? It's urban myth stuff. If it was in Playa de las Americas, not Los Americanos Harold, then every other restaurant on the strip would have had enough bottles of HP to serve every Brit on the rock.
If they were clutching anything, it would have been fake Gucci bags and Rolex watches bought off the Lookie Lookie Man.
Harold is being a Billy Liar in order to score some sort of point. |
I have Spanish in laws who brought potatoes over from Tenerife to the West of Ireland. ( the wrinkled ones you eat with mojo, papas arrugadas). They brought um over in order to cook us a Canarian style meal. Though I supremely told my friends, family, neighbours and probably everybody I meet during the 2 weeks they were over that they brought there own potatoes as they weren't sure you could buy potatoes in Ireland | | | |

Sherry sounds a bit foreign. Maybe some bitters with London Gin instead. | |
