3 English Dishes That You Have to Try

Traditional English food is often made to keep you warm on rainy days. Here
are just some of the dishes from England that you should try.

Full English breakfast

You might not need lunch if you start your day with a full English breakfast, or
"fry-up." This huge morning meal usually includes bacon, sausages, eggs,
cooked tomatoes and mushrooms, and toast.

Many people also have baked beans with their full English breakfast, and some
will include a type of sausage called black pudding, which is made with animal
blood. The breakfast is often served with tea or coffee.

Fish and chips

There aren’t many dishes that are more English than fish and chips. The first
fish and chip shop was either opened in London by Joseph Malin or in
Lancashire by John Lees in the early 1860s.

However, the fried fish is a recipe that was brought to England by Jewish
immigrants from Spain and Portugal in the 16th century. The chips are thick
fries and were first made in Belgium. As potatoes became popular among poor
people in England, chips became a normal part of life there too.

Yorkshire pudding
When English people say "pudding," they could mean any dessert, but the
word is also used for some foods that aren't sweet.

A Yorkshire pudding is made with eggs, flour and milk, like a very thick
pancake, but is cooked in oil in an oven. Yorkshire puddings are usually served
with roast meat and gravy.

"Toad-in-the-hole" is like Yorkshire pudding, but it has sausages cooked into it.
