2. Since the early modern era, food of
England has historically been characterised
by its simplicity of approach, honesty of
flavour, and a reliance on the high quality of
natural produce. This has resulted in a
traditional cuisine which tended to veer from
strong flavours, such as garlic, and an
avoidance of complex sauces. Traditional
meals have ancient origins, such
as bread and cheese, roasted and stewed
meats, meat and game pies, and freshwater
and saltwater fish.

Modern English cuisine is difficult to differentiate from British
cuisine as a whole. However, there are some forms of cuisine
considered distinctively English. The full English breakfast is a variant
of the traditional British fried breakfast. The normal ingredients of a
traditional full English breakfast are bacon, eggs, fried or
grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or toast, and sausages,
usually served with a mug of tea.
4. Black pudding is added in some regions…
AMAZINGLY, black pudding doesn`t have the traditional sense we`re
accustomed to. In fact….black pudding, blood pudding or blood
sausage is a type of sausage made by cooking blood or dried blood with
a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. In the UK, black
pudding is considered a delicacy !
…as well as fried leftover mashed potatoes called Potato cakes.

1700s the phrase "les rosbifs"
